Balfour Park
Balfour Park was completed in 2025 after years of fundraising efforts by the community.

Thanks to funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 and advocacy by State Senator Kathleen Taylor and Representative Karin Power, plus notable fundraising by the Ardenwald/Johnson Creek Neighborhood Association and Milwaukie Parks Foundation this park was fully funded!
The money raised by the Ardenwald/Johnson Creek Neighborhood Association and Milwaukie Parks Foundation came from nearly a decade of annual plant sales held to raise funds for the park. Through the hard work and dedication of members of the neighborhood association and the MPF Board of Directors (most crucially, Lisa Gunion-Rinker, who tended the plants and organized these sales with love and commitment), $22,603 was delivered to the City of Milwaukie for park development in November 2023!
