Help Griffin Oaks Park get a new playground! Share your support through likes, comments, and shares on this post for the City’s grant request to the Oregon Parks & Recreation Department for a new playground with covered shade canopies.

The current playground was built in 1997 and is nearing the need for replacement. If the grant is awarded to Hillsboro, more information and engagement opportunities will be shared before the new structure is built.
