53rd Avenue Park's phase two on track for fall opening
By Susan Gordanier, The Hillsboro Argus
The park design provides tremendous opportunities to serve the recreational needs of the community. The site master plan developed for the park by MIG incorporates the goals, and desires of the community as identified during an extensive public planning process. The prime objective of the site development plan was to create a unique and memorable destination for the Hillsboro community that serves a wide variety of users, balances active and passive uses, and respects the natural conditions of the site, while offering a host of indoor pursuits that can be enjoyed year round.
