Molalla's Park CPC Planning Efforts
The Parks Community Program Committee (CPC) was established by the Molalla City Council in 2019 to promote community involvement in parks planning and development. The committee engaged residents through volunteer opportunities and fundraising initiatives, working to align park improvements with the Molalla Area Vision and Action Plan 2020–2030(PDF, 5MB).
Notable CPC Contributions
Over approximately four years, the Parks CPC raised $11,557.87 in gap funding through community fundraising efforts. The committee’s volunteer work contributed to several significant community projects, including: Fox Park playground equipment, Strawberry Park design, Clark Park Pavilion, and Chief Yelkus Park.
The Parks CPC operated without a dedicated Parks Maintenance Fee, relying instead on community fundraising and donations to support Molalla’s parks and recreational spaces.
Parks Community Program Committee Status
The Parks Community Program Committee (CPC) has been temporarily suspended by Molalla City Council action, effective September 24, 2025. The City Council voted unanimously to suspend the Parks CPC until the committee is needed for future parks initiatives.
Past Parks CPC meeting agendas and minutes remain available for public review.
The City of Molalla thanks all past Parks CPC members for their dedicated service to our community.

The Parks CPC’s accomplishments would not have been possible without the generous support of community partners and sponsors whose commitment to Molalla made these park improvements a reality.
