Newcom Park

Gather with us

This lovely outdoor space is a central meeting place within the Oregon District, where community gatherings and events are regularly hosted.

The Gazebo was designed and built by residents in 1985, and has since become a focal point of our neighborhood and symbolizes all that is good about this community we call Oregon.

On July 4, 2001, a dedication ceremony was held to name the gazebo in honor of our neighborhood pioneers, Bill and Joanne Henkel.

Party in the Park

Neighborhood Picnics

Picnics in the park are open to all residents and their guests. Please bring a side dish or dessert, and $3/person for the kitty. Also remember to bring your own drinks, as well as blankets and/or lawn chairs. Plates, utensils and napkins are provided, but bringing your own is also greatly appreciated!

Keep in mind that our picnics are held in a public city park, in which alcoholic beverages are not permitted - use discretion. No dogs please.
