Looking for updates on the Tree Top playground project at Sorosis Park? Check out our Sorosis Park page

Do you have donor boards or art from the old Tree Top playground that you wish to pick up? Please contact the District office to make arrangements. Remaining donor items will be retained by Parks and Recreation to be incorporated into a future community legacy project at the playground site after completion of the new playground installation. If you wish to have your donor items included in the future community legacy project at the playground site then you do not need to pick them up.

While we are sad to see the old playground reach the end of its lifespan, we are excited to see the new playground serve the youth and families in our community for decades to come!

An alternate route has been established starting on River Way.  A map of the detour is provided at both ends of the construction site. If you have any questions please reach out to NWPRD District Office at (541) 296-9533.

A huge thank you to all the donors to the “Put Scenic back in Sorosis” Fundraiser. Together we raised $378,839! Please consider donating to our other fundraisers below that will continue to improve landscaping, upgrade the walking path, and get a swing set to go along with our new playground being installed!
