A grass field at Delta Park in
north Portland will be converted
to a new all-weather turf field
thanks to a partnership with the
Portland Timbers and Portland
Thoms.
The Portland City Council has
approved an exciting partnership to
make upgrades to the soccer fields
at Delta Park in north Portland.
The Portland Timbers and Thoms
will be the lead funding partners in
converting a grass soccer field into
a synthetic turf field complete with
lights. The pro soccer teams will use
the new field and a new building
space for practices, for Timbers
Academy program development,
and for coaches’ training. When
not reserved for these purposes,
the field, locker rooms and restrooms
will be available for the public by
permit.
Construction is expected to start
in August, with the field scheduled
for completion by fall.
“The Portland Timbers and Port
land Thoms FC have established a
standard of excellence in commu
nity engagement both on and off
the pitch,” says Portland Parks Com
missioner Amanda Fritz. “We are
very happy that this significant
project is moving forward to im
prove Delta Park for all users. Pub
lic-private partnerships like this help
make our city and our award-win
ning park system co n tin u e to
thrive.”
An adjacent building at Delta
Park will be updated with brand-
new locker rooms and restroom fa
cilities for field users as well.
Portland Parks and Recreation
will provide $ 100,000 to the cost of
the project via System Development
Charges from development fees. The
Portland Tim bers and Portland
Thoms will generously contribute
the remaining funds, currently esti
mated at $ 1.1 million dollars.
More than a decade ago, the citi
zens of Portland committed to the
Parks 2020 Vision for their park sys
tem. Part of that vision includes a
commitment to improve sports fields,
including converting existing grass
sports fields to all-weather synthetic
turf fields and adding field lights at
Delta Park.
