This 6.38 acre park is the most heavily used park in the Troutdale park system. Access to the site is off East Columbia River Highway. It is bordered by the Sandy River on the east, Beaver Creek on the west, and a few residential properties on the south.
Mr. Glenn Otto served the City of Troutdale for many years as a Planning Commissioner, City Councilor, and Mayor. During his tenure of service to the City he negotiated the purchase of Troutdaleâs first park site located along the banks of the Sandy River and provided leadership in the creation and improvement of the park.
The City of Troutdale wanted to honor Mr. Ottoâs illustrious career of devoted service to the City and his vision and guidance in acquiring and developing the riverside park site, so the name of the park was changed from Troutdale Community Park to Glenn Otto Park in 1995.
Facilities at the park include a caretakerâs home, meeting hall, swimming beach, riverfront access, restroom building, picnic area, childrenâs playground, and an open play area. In addition to these facilities, there are several small buildings on the site that are used by community organizations.
The Sam Cox Building and the covered picnic area can be reserved for parties, picnics, etc., by contacting Rooney Barker at 503-674-7262. |
