Tualatin Parks Survey

The Tualatin City Council is considering whether to place a bond funding measure for parks and trails on the November 2022 ballot. If voters approve, the measure would support some of our most needed projects. But with citywide needs totaling over $200 million, there won’t be enough to pay for everything.

The City is asking park users and other community members to weigh-in on possible priorities. Please take a moment to share your views.
