The Vineyard Mountain Park and Recreation District (VMPR) was established in 1980, replacing the Vineyard Mountain Recreation Club which was established in 1971 to manage the horse facilities and other recreational facilities for Vineyard Mountain residents (see Art Stonehill’s History of Vineyard Mountain

VMPR operates as an Oregon Park and Recreation District in accordance with Oregon State Statute, Chapter 266 . The State Statute specifies the number of board members (3-5), election process, scope of operation, and general provisions, including meeting requirements.

VMPR is responsible for the 29.74 acres that constitutes the Vineyard Mountain “Park”, a largely undeveloped open space. 1.42 acres are leased to the Vineyard Mountain Swim Club for the operation of the Vineyard Mountain Pool. The following Objectives/Goals (developed after a survey of Vineyard Mountain residents) guide the actions of the Board as published in the Forest Stewardship Plan, with emphasis placed on fire safety, restoration of oak habitat and recreational access.
