Park Rental
Beginning July 1, 2022, the process to reserve a park for an event had some changes. It is now called "Park Rental" (formerly Special Event). A few minor changes have been made and fees adjusted based on a result of a cost recovery analysis performed in 2021. For more information on the cost recovery visit the 2022 Master Fee Schedule page.
Oregon City park shelters and facilities may be used for a variety of special events:
- Weddings
- Receptions
- Reunions
- Fundraising events
- Walks and runs
