THPRD Visioning Task Force

Love Your Local Parks? Help shape the future of THPRD

Visioning Task Force

Please note: as of April 21, we are no longer accepting applications for the Visioning Task Task Force.

Do you have ideas on the future of parks and recreation? Your voice could make a real difference. Join the Visioning Task Force and help shape the future of THPRD!

Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD) provides opportunities for people of all abilities and ages to gather, play, and explore. To better serve the diverse and expanding interests of those who value our services, parks, recreation areas, natural places, and trails, we are beginning a Community Visioning process.

What is Community Visioning?
Community visioning is an opportunity for THPRD to listen to community members and work together to find better ways to serve. THPRD was formed more than 60 years ago, by people who had a vision for a better way to provide park services. Now it’s time to set the course for what the next 60 years will bring.

Task Force members will come together to support this year-long process, inform new and innovative ways of engaging with the community, listen and meet with community members and make recommendations for what is considered in the final Vision Plan adopted by THPRD’s Board of Directors.

Your voice could make a real difference. We are looking for community members who…

Members of the Visioning Task Force will:

Serve from May 2019 through May 2020.
Attend a monthly two-hour meeting.
Agree to volunteer at 10 engagement events to gather community feedback. (Engagement events can include many activities that members are already participating in, such as providing information at a local farmer’s market, speaking with school groups or organizational partners.)
Advise on engagement strategies to make better connections with people.
Advise and make recommendations to THPRD’s Board of Directors on the Visioning Plan.

THPRD recognizes that it takes time, energy, and commitment to serve as a voluntary member on the Visioning Task Force. We are offering members THPRD passes, in recognition of their contribution to this effort.
