Astoria Parks and Recreation is seeking City Council authorization to apply for an Oregon Parks and Recreation Department Local Government Grant to improve Evergreen Fields Park. The proposed grant request is $51,000, requiring a 40% local match of $34,000 to be funded from Parks Operations capital (Fund 158) and the Parks Projects Fund (146). Planned improvements include restoring grass playing surfaces, constructing another playable infield, rehabilitating the existing restroom, installing a new play area and picnic shelter, and resurfacing asphalt paths to improve accessibility. These upgrades respond directly to community feedback in the 2026 Parks Master Plan Update prioritizing enhancement of existing assets and youth activity spaces. For vendors, this signals a near-term capital project for design, construction, site work, playground/shelter equipment, and accessibility upgrades that will move forward once grant funding decisions are made.
Parks Advisory Board has reviewed and supports the proposed fee updates and Evergreen Fields improve...

The FY 2027 PEDC CIP proposes multiple active greenway trail projects, notably Vince Bayou Greenway Trail (EDCR066) with a total budget of 7361491.18 and 4253602.70 available, and Little Vince Bayou Greenway Trail (EDCR086) with a budget of 1567770.82 fully committed. Vince Bayou Trail Phase I (EDCR075) and Pasadena Plaza (EDCR094) are shown as fully committed, while "Quality of Life Projects" (EDCR051) adds 203698.98 in new funds, potentially related to amenities or trail-adjacent improvements. The substantial uncommitted balance for EDCR066 signals future design, construction, landscaping, and amenity work for the greenway system, even as earlier phases are under contract. This creates opportunities for trail and park designers, civil engineers, landscape architects, lighting and security vendors, and construction firms to support the remaining phases. Sellers should emphasize experience delivering multi-phase trail systems and coordinating with existing committed segments to ensure continuity and usability.
Several related CIP lines indicate a coordinated greenway/trail initiative, with some phases fully c...
The budget establishes an "MTP Pocket Park" project in the Public Improvement fund, backed by a $290,000 MEDC MTP pocket park grant on the revenue side. Expenditures include $15,500 for engineering and $274,500 for construction, explicitly earmarked for park improvements such as a new downtown park, pocket plaza, or similar amenity space, though specific scope is not detailed here. No landscape architect, civil engineer, or contractor is named in the budget, indicating that design and construction vendors are not yet identified in this document. Landscape design firms, civil engineers, playground and site‑amenity suppliers, and general contractors can all see this as a funded opportunity to help shape and build a new community space. A next step would be to contact the planning and parks departments to understand the vision for the pocket park, timeline for design and community engagement, and how they intend to procure design and construction services.
Revenue line 401-001-564.757 documents the MEDC MTP Pocket Park grant; expenditures are programmed a...
The agenda notes a “Butterfly Garden” under Current Projects, indicating the Conservation Commission is maintaining or developing pollinator-focused green space in Lincoln. Such a project can require landscape design, native plant procurement, educational signage, maintenance planning, and potentially volunteer coordination tools. Since the document provides no details about existing contracts or vendors, the scope and future phases remain open. This creates an opportunity for vendors specializing in native landscaping, outdoor educational signage, small-park amenities, or volunteer management platforms to connect with the Commission and help shape next steps or expansion of the garden and related programming.
This project sits at the intersection of conservation, education, and small-scale parks amenities.
