           Future Home of Two Rivers Park

Two Rivers is pleased to announce the creation of a community park and community center in Adrian, Oregon between Owyhee Street and Main Street on Highway 201.  The properties to be used for the community center and park are the former Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church and the property previously used by the onion packing shed for stacking extra onion bins.

 The owners of Two Rivers have chosen to develop the properties into public use areas for the people of the community.  At this time, the church has been remodeled to create an office in the north end for the Owyhee Watershed Council.  The remainder of the building will soon be available for use by the community for meetings, reunions, receptions, and other events.  The kitchen on the south end of the building has been equipped with appliances, as well as some tables and chairs. Currently, irrigation water rights are being secured for the park, and a community member has graciously donated landscape rock.  Two Rivers has accomplished a great deal, but so much more must be done.

Our desire is to create a park that will suit the needs of our community members and provide a place for relaxation and enjoyment in the community.  Here are a few of our goals:

Ø    Level the area to be used for the park and fill with soil as needed

Ø      Lay sprinkler lines in which to irrigate the park

Ø      Lay sod or plant grass

Ø      Plant several trees along the east and west borders of the park

Ø      Build covered pavilions for picnics, barbecues, and parties

Ø      Lay electrical lines to pavilions for lights and outlets

Ø      Form gravel parking areas on the north and south sides of the park

Ø      Landscape the park

Ø      Create signs for the park

Ø      Provide picnic tables and trash containers

Ø      Provide restroom facilities of some kind

We look forward to hearing from you.  Together we can build a better tomorrow!  

TREES, SHRUBS, & BENCHES...OH, MY!

In order to complete the first stage of the park, we now need some help from the community.  The park is in need of trees and shrubs that will be planted this spring.  We would like to invite area families and community members to purchase a tree or shrub as a family donation or as a memorial to any loved ones.  Purchases will be distinguished with engraved markers.

We also invite you to help purchase benches, picnic tables, and materials for the pavilion.  Again, purchases or donations will be distinguished with engraved markers.

If you are interested in purchasing a tree or shrub, or helping puchase another item, please contact Michaelann at the Owyhee Watershed Council office for a list of desired varieties and prices.  (541) 372-5782

 Please click the "Donations" link on the left to see a list of  those who have already donated.

 PROJECT GRANTS

Northwest Farm Credit Services awarded a  grant worth $4,400  to be used for an irrigation system and grass for the park.  The irrigation system has been designed and installation is set to begin this spring.  Thanks, Northwest Farm Credit Services!  We appreciate your support of our community and our project.  It's with the help of good people and businesses like you that we are able to create a place for our community to enjoy.
