๐Concord Park playground is bright and shiny and ready for your next playdate. Also, yes, we go where you send us. Where to next??
๐Concord Park (3811 SE Concord Rd, Milwaukie, OR 97267) is right next to Oak Lodge library and perfect for a destination playground visit. Inclusive, fun, and family-friendly, itโs a great spot to let the kids run around while you take a moment to relax. That water feature will be really fun in summer, too.
Pro tip: I also grabbed some incredible coffee nearby at @keepercoffeeco (more on that soon โ), but the park alone is worth the trip!

Nearly 1,500 Clackamas County residents voted for their favorite parks and nature projects in the first round of Metroโs Nature in Neighborhoods Community Choice Grants program. A final vote next spring will determine which projects receive funding, with $2โ$3 million in grants awarded.
Fifty projects are now moving on to a second round of design workshops in February 2026, where community members will collaborate with park planners and local park staff to help shape these projects.

Did you know wetlands are pure magic?โจThese incredible ecosystems create essential wildlife habitats, boost biodiversity, and act as natureโs air and water purifiers. They serve as vital stopovers for migratory birds, making them perfect spots for birdwatching enthusiasts. In addition to being wildlife havens, they also provide a serene escape for people looking to recharge and reconnect with nature. Boardman Wetlands Nature Park is the perfect place to calm your mind, engage your senses, and marvel at the wonders of wetlands. Happy World Wetlands Day!
