TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN UPDATEcross jurisdictional lines of towns, cities and states to connect betweenparks, natural areas and other trails. Tigard has linkages to two regionaltrails identified by Metro with existing segments: Fanno Creek GreenwayTrail and Westside Trail. Map 1 depicts the location of existing trails.Fanno Creek Greenway Trail – This trail begins at Willamette Parkon the Willamette River Greenway, just south of downtownPortland. It stretches 15 miles to the west and south throughBeaverton, Tigard and Durham, and ends at the Tualatin River inTualatin. Approximately half of the trail is complete; additionalsections are under construction. Two key links on this trail remainto be built in Tigard.Westside Trail – An electric powerline corridor owned by PGE andBPA, this trail route runs from the Tualatin River near the TualatinWildlife Refuge north to Forest Park. Currently, some portions ofthe trail are complete, totaling more than 2 miles of the 16-miletrail. While not developed, this corridor passes through NorthviewPark and has potential to link Beaverton and Tigard.Local trail networks can also be found throughout the City of Tigard.Generally, the trails follow local creeks and development patterns. Theselocal trails provide important connections between neighborhoods, toparks and schools, or simply an off-street place to walk or bicycle forexercise. In addition to formal, paved or soft-surfaced trails, the City ofTigard is also working to identify informal “neighborhood connectors.”These pathways exist but are not yet a part of the formal trail system.These could be added to the trail network through an easement oracquisition of land or be recognized and developed where they alreadyexist on public lands.RECREATION PROGRAMMINGThough the City of Tigard Parks Department does not have a recreationdivision, the City supports or facilitates recreation opportunities byproviding funds, facilities and/or services to community organizations.
