T
hank you for your interest in
Hermiston Parks and Recreation.
The winter is a great time to get outside
and enjoy the clean crisp air in one our
parks or run around in the gym in one
of many indoor programs. We hope
you get the chance to recreate often this
winter and if there are ever any programs
that you would like to see us run, please
suggest them to us.
There will be some construction going on
this winter in our parks. Victory Square
Park will be a complete reconstruction.
Highland Park will be getting a new
playground. We hope many of you will
get to enjoy these upgrades this spring
and summer.
Have a great winter.
