Most great cities have a central public gathering area, and Sandy is no exception. The City leveraged urban renewal funding to construct a public plaza across the street from City Hall and right next door to the Historical Society Museum on Hoffman Ave.

The Cascadia Village development includes 3 park areas consisting of 2.5 acres of open space, a 1.92 acre multi-use field with a gazebo, and a .38 acre tot lot (on Cascadia Village Drive at Averill Parkway) complete with playground structure and bark chips for ground cover.

Phase I of the Bornstedt Park Master Plan has been completed.  This included the installation of fields, paths, a playground, a splash pad and community garden boxes.  As additional housing development occurs, Phase II will be built.  The second phase has a half court basketball hoop, a gazebo, and a viewing mound near the playground to showcase the view of Mt. Hood.  

*See information about the splash pad to the right.

Barlow Ridge Park is located off Tupper Road just west of Highway 211. It consists of a ¾ acre developed park including a basketball court and play structure. There is also a paver path connecting the neighborhood to undeveloped open space set aside between Dubarko Rd. & and Tickle Creek

Oregon law requires an annual audit by an independent auditor. The City has contracted with Talbot, Korvola & Warwick LLP to conduct these required audits. Types of financial documents that are created through the audit process include the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), Urban Renewal Financial Statements, and the Single Audit. Additional information on each of these types of reports can be found by clicking the links below.

If you’ve been following the tour you have just brushed past two of the women of Sandy, Alice Scales (Site 7) and Blanche Shelley (Sites 6 & 7).

Sandy had three major fires within a ten year period -– 1913,1918 and 1923. Although the destroyed buildings were replaced immediately, the combined effect of these fires destroyed the original hub of the city. As early as 1912 Sandy had organized fire fighters that pulled chemical fire fighting trucks. In the 1930s the city purchased a used Model T fire truck and the Sandy (Volunteer) Fire Department was formed. In these later days whoever happened to be around would take the motorized equipment and fight the fire.
