Glenn Otto Community Park
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 Troutdale’s 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. Otto’s 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 caretaker’s home, meeting hall, swimming beach, riverfront access, restroom building, picnic area, children’s 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.

SaturdayJul 4 2009#Twicnic by The Sandy River: Post-Independence Day EditionWebsite
Every Sunday, our proud Portland tradition of lounging about the lawn is taking place. Some call it Twicnic: a picnic put on by Twitter users who just happens to like hanging around each other and having conversations someplace outdoor (be it about technology or otherwise)—then give it a hashtag, so it’s now known as #twicnic.
As kindly suggested by Kimberly Gehl—and back for a repeat performance—we will meeting at Glenn Otto Community Park, conveniently located by the Sandy River.
Bring food, drinks, or whatever you’d like to eat that afternoon.
Bring your books, blankets, bikes, frisbees—and, you know, other things you don’t usually bring to your day job.
And bringing computer is optional.
That is all.

Apologies to Robin Catesby for failing to schedule it near the neighborhood. I just thought that having it by the river is a good idea while we have this nice of a weather.
