First built in 1995, our aquatic center is one of the most used recreational facilities in the community. It provides swimming and other exercise amenities, but it is currently limited in its ability to meet the needs of our population. The City is proposing to place a bond measure on this November’s ballot. The bond would cost approximately $1.00 per $1,000 of assessed property value, or $15 per month for the average homeowner in Woodburn.

Following years of work, the City of Woodburn has decided to propose a bond measure to build a new Community Center. The new Community Center would include:

  • A new indoor walking and jogging track that can be used year-round for youth and adult fitness programs and exercise
  • Weights, cardio and exercise facilities that will provide expanded health and wellness opportunities including fitness cardio and weight equipment, increased fitness class space and classes
  • The addition of a warm-water pool that would be more accessible for seniors and people with disabilities and would be used for family recreation, swim lessons, therapy and exercise classes
  • Repairs and improvements to the existing pool, including a new water slide, new pool surfacing/liner, deck surfacing, paint, and improved natural lighting with solar tubes
  • A multi-court gymnasium for youth and adult sports leagues including but not limited to basketball, pickleball, volleyball and other court sports, meeting a region-wide need for lack of indoor recreation space
  • A community multi-purpose room and event spaces with a commercial kitchen that can be used for special events, senior meal program, job training opportunities, local nonprofits, and as incubator space for small businesses
  • Park improvements including a new inclusive playground, tennis/pickleball courts, outdoor sports courts, a picnic shelter, and added trail connections to the Mill Creek Greenway Trail System

* 4. To what extent do you support the City moving forward with a bond proposal to create this Community Center?

Question Title

* 5. Currently, the City has dedicated $5 million dollars in City funds and been awarded $15 million dollars from the State of Oregon to bring the cost of this project down to a $40 million bond to be placed on the November ballot. If the bond is not passed in November 2024 or May 2025, the $15 Million dollars from the State of Oregon must be returned and will not be available for this project in the future.

Knowing that $15 million dollars of potential funding for the project could be lost without a passed bond, are you more likely to support this project for the new Woodburn Community Center?

Question Title

* 6. Are there other thoughts on this proposal you’d like to share with the City?
