TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN UPDATERecognizing the existing programming options offered by the City andvarious community organizations, the City should work to consolidate theadvertising, scheduling, registration and administrative oversight ofrecreation programming in Tigard. With a minimal commitment ofresources, Tigard Parks could become the central point of contact forcommunity members looking for program opportunities, as well as Cityand community groups looking to start or expand recreation programs.The City should develop a recreation program that is built from acombination of contract and in-house providers. In exchange for Cityprovidedadvertising, registration assistance and, if necessary, assistance infinding facility space, the particular class or event would pay a portion ofthe registration fee to the City. Building the program from both sourcesallows the City to provide a wide range of services without starting fromscratch in many different program areas.INITIAL PROGRAMMING AREASBased on the existing programming offered, the typical recreationprograms in similar communities, and the activities participants in theplanning process desired, a number of gaps can be identified in therecreation program opportunities in Tigard.

Each presentsan opportunity for new programming by the City or by other communitygroups.Special events;Adult sports programming;Aquatic programming;Active senior programming; andNature programs/environmental education.In addition to these gaps, public input has indicated a strong ongoingsupport for the roles that the City has already taken on, including afterschool and general interest classes and coordinating field use by sportsgroups.The City should pursue providers of programs that serve these markets or,if no programs exist, initiate prototype programs to test the public interestin the identified areas.
