History
The land for Livingston Neighborhood Park was purchased from the State of Oregon in 1969. A HUD Open Space grant paid one-half of the acquisition cost. A tree cover of Alder and Ash trees along the drainage running through the park adds interest to the area. A 15-foot easement provides access from the Turnkey Housing unit on the north and the subdivision on the west. A service drive off 35th Street provides parallel car parking for users who drive to the area to use the multi-use court for tennis and basketball play.
Before development began in the early 70's, the Lansing Community Action Association and the Oregon National Guard brushed out the berry vines and cleaned up the drainage ditch. Actual development began in the spring of 1974 and was completed in the spring of 1976. Development includes a multi-use court, wooden play equipment, automatic irrigation system in the lawn area and a paved pathway through the park built over earth berms which provides interest for joggers, strollers, cyclists and skateboarders.
