THPRD News February 2026

plant sale

In January, the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD) Board of Directors voted unanimously to refer a bond measure to district voters. The proposed measure would fund repairs, maintenance, and safety improvements at parks, trails, and facilities. A small portion of the funds would be spent on targeted land acquisition and new amenities.

In 2008, voters approved a bond measure which is about to be paid in full. This proposed measure would be timed to begin after the previous measure ends. THPRD estimates the rate to be $0.37 cents per $1,000 in assessed value or $120.41 a year, or $10.03 cents per month for 20 years. This is the same rate that was targeted by THPRD with the 2008 ask. Actual levy rates will fluctuate based on final interest rates and property value changes. For the 2008 bond measure, the actual levy rate fluctuated between $0.27 cents to $0.32 cents per $1,000 in assessed value.

THPRD’s website is getting a fresh look. The launch timeline has shifted, and the new website is expected to go live in March.
