HERMISTON – Made to Thrive and the Hermiston Parks & Recreation Department is asking the public to turn out for the groundbreaking for the expansion of Harrison Park. It is scheduled for noon today (Wednesday).
The project includes three basketball courts, new soccer goals, and a picnic pavilion. Lights and security cameras will be installed at the basketball courts.
“We’re excited to help bring these facilities and opportunities to this growing part of the community,” Made to Thrive Executive Director Kriss Dammeyer said. “Sports are a great way for families to spend time together and these courts and fields will give youth in the neighborhood a safe place to play.”
Harrison Park is at the south end of Northwest 13th Street near the Oxbow Trail. It is two blocks west of the new Moorehouse Apartments.
Supporters of the expansion include Carlisle and Lydia Harrison, Dicks Sporting Goods, the Ford Family Foundation, the Good Shepherd Community Health Foundation, 100 Women Who Care, Juvenile Crime Prevention, and Hermiston Parks & Recreation. Made to Thrive is a Hermiston-based organization dedicated to reshaping the lives of at-risk and foster young people.
