Director’s Message

Director’s Message While many things go dormant in the winter, your Hillsboro Parks and Recreation Department is certainly not one of them. Welcome to the action-packed City of Hillsboro Parks & Recreation Winter/Spring 2016 Activities Guide. In addition to introducing you to the newest park in the City – this guide offers you a multitude of opportunities to help you fulfill New Year’s resolutions, brighten up a dark winter day and skip through spring. As we begin a new year, we are excited to start construction on the 44-acre Orenco Woods Nature Park. This future park is located in the Old Orenco Town Site next to Quatama Elementary School. Hillsboro Parks & Recreation, in partnership with Metro, purchased and master planned the property, and construction begins this spring. When the park opens in 2017 you will discover a network of trails and viewpoints, picnic shelters, a nature play area and restrooms. Extensive habitat restoration will reforest the creek corridor, enhance wetlands, and create oak savannah habitat in areas of the former golf course fairways. The site features a scenic blend of rolling topography, open meadows and riparian forest along Rock Creek and its tributary. During 2015 you may have noticed a lot of activity at the southwest corner of Cornell Road and 231st Avenue. This was our talented park maintenance project crew building Cornell Creek Park, which opens in early 2016. This was the first time our own staff built an entire park literally from the ground up and I think you will agree that the results have been well worth the wait. This four acre neighborhood park includes a variety of amenities including our first bocce courts and an outdoor ping-pong table. It also includes a half acre off-leash dog area. The park is intended to primarily serve nearby residents and provides some green space amidst the high density developments.

We are extremely proud of the quality parks, programs and services we provide our residents and the positive impact they have on Hillsboro’s quality of life. Come on out this winter/spring and join us in celebrating what a great community this is in which to live, work, and of course, play.

Colorful, musical and always nearby, birds can teach you so much about the world around you once you begin to really notice them. This class not only shows why you should get started watching birds, it also shows you how to begin—introducing you to the tools, information and behaviors of a birdwatcher. Instructor Laura Whittemore has introduced hundreds of people to the fascinating world of birds with her enthusiastic and patient guidance. An indoor session is followed by a field trip into the Preserve. Binoculars provided. 16 – Adult Jackson Bottom Wetlands Education Center Laura Whittemore 49508 Sat 3/19 $18 Resident, $25 Non-Resident 44

Sunset Sit & Moonrise Smile

Make time in your day once a month to relax and take in the eastern sky as the sun sets and the moon rises. Vivid colors paint the sky, the earth’s shadow rises, heralding the coming of night, and a full moon makes its dramatic entrance into the night sky. Daytime wildlife seeks shelter as nighttime creatures emerge. Join us thirty minutes before sunset, once a month, at select Hillsboro park sites. A Hillsboro Parks & Recreation naturalist helps you tune in to the many wonderful events that attend the passing of day into night. Dress comfortably for the weather. Bring a chair and something warm to drink if you like.

Lunch with the Birds

Bird watchers of all levels and ages, join Jackson Bottom staff and volunteers for Lunch with the Birds! Learn identification tips and natural history facts for our local wildlife. Bring binoculars and a field guide if you have them. A few pairs of loaner binoculars are available. Location varies, featuring a different Hillsboro park each month. Program is outdoors, rain or shine. Some parks have shelter from the rain but be prepared for the weather.

Fly Gals! Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II

Local author and historian Sig Unander presents the incredible story of the first women fighter pilots of World War II. Known as the Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPS, these courageous women flew vital ferry, training, and flight test missions during World War II to free up men for combat operations. After the war, the WASPS were forgotten for decades until Congress officially recognized and honored their service. Unander tells the fascinating story of this unique and important unit with rare period photographs and honors several individual WASPs, including Portland’s own Hazel Ying Lee, a Chinese-American pilot who became a WASP and died completing a dangerous fighter plane ferry mission.

Each session includes discussion of a specific topic, open time for socializing, and an easy homework assignment to be completed prior to the next session. Participation is free, but all participants must be screened by the Alzheimer’s Association. To register, please call the Alzheimer’s Association at 503-416-0203.

The Walters is a ground-breaking facility that provides expanded opportunities for youth and adult art education and training, community access to excellent regional and national artists and speakers, and increased opportunities for local arts organizations, and professional and emerging artists.

Larry Cwik

The Far North: Portrait of the Arctic

From Weya with Love

Upstairs Gallery December 1 — January 25

Downstairs Gallery

Larry Cwik

The work of Larry Cwik traverses the five coastal nations of the Arctic, capturing the ingenuity and challenge of life and the changing conditions of the region. Though remote and little-visited by outsiders, the ecology of the Arctic is critically intertwined with the ecology of the Northern Hemisphere—and the planet as a whole. To most of the world, the stories of the communities who live there remain untold. This exhibit provides a necessary and timely window into this foreboding but beautiful place, as photographed during Cwik’s travels throughout the U.S., Canada, Greenland, Norway, and Russia. Cwik’s largescale limited-edition photographs stir reflection about our global relationship to the people and ecology of the Far North, and remind us of the delicate interconnectedness of our planet’s people and places. This work is partially funded by the Regional Arts and Culture Council.

Zimbabwe Artist Project December 1— January 25

The vibrant artwork from this exhibit highlights the artistic accomplishments of women artists from the village of Weya, Zimbabwe. These women are subsistence farmers, mothers, and householders as well as artists. The embroideries and paintings from this exhibit give a rich glimpse of the artists’ lives in their own words. In addition, biographies for each of the artists offers a deeper connection to a woman a world away. The Zimbabwe Artists Project is a nonprofit organization partnering with women in Zimbabwe, buying artwork and supporting self-enterprise.

Seeing In & Through

Feeding Birds in the Rain

Upstairs Gallery February 2 – March 28

Upstairs Gallery April 5 – May 30

Susan Aurand

Susan Aurand’s striking collection of mixed-media paintings explores nature as a language of forms largely forgotten in our modern, urbanized world. Aurand’s work offers a visually arresting and lyric passage through which to explore the Self and its embeddedness in the physical world, and to examine our inseparability from other creatures and the ecosystem that sustains us all. This collection weaves a layered and nuanced web of meanings—some images are more psychological in their use of imagery, while others more explicitly reference the devastating effects of habitat loss on particular species, while yet other images function purely as points of meditation designed to enable the viewer to move past ecological grief into deeper connection with the natural world of which he or she is a part.

Westside Quilters Guild Downstairs Gallery February 2 – March 28

Al Crane

Al Crane combines still lifes, film, and digital photography to form an intimate and haunting collection of images that explores ideas of impermanence, childhood, and the natural passage of the time. To create these images, the artist scans natural elements and found objects on a flatbed scanner, digitally combining his own images along with vintage photographs or tintypes. These layered compositions reflect private yet universal narratives, inviting viewers to connect with their own journeys in time.

First Tuesday Receptions: April 5 | 5 – 6:30 pm Featuring live music by Graceless Lady (Pop/Classics Duo) May 3 | 5 – 6:30 pm Featuring live music by Andy Harrison (Singer/Songwriter)

Discover~ Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve

2600 SW Hillsboro Highway

Jackson Bottom’s long history in Hillsboro began with the Native Americans who used it for both hunting and gathering, and continued when 1854 emigrant Hyer Jackson built a warehouse on the site to take advantage of the budding steamship industry, which never materialized. In 1935, the Bottom became the site for Hillsboro Waste Disposal. In 1939, one of the local canneries purchased the Trent farm (later renamed the “Sewer Farm”) and resold it to the City, becoming the first publicly owned property in Jackson Bottom. The City began operating the Sewer Farm, which was a profitable venture and helped to clean up the polluted waters of the Tualatin River. By the early 1970s, the Friends of Jackson Bottom began coordinating efforts to restore the Preserve to its former natural beauty and productivity. The Jackson Bottom Coordinated Resource Management plan encouraged the creation of ponds, planting of vegetation, installation of nesting boxes, and stocking fish. Today, Hillsboro Parks & Recreation manages the Preserve, with the goal of providing diverse, innovative and exceptional recreation, education and cultural opportunities for the public.
