Woodburn Community Center Project

Your Community, Your Center: The Future of Health & Connections in Woodburn

Learn about the Proposed Woodburn Community Center

The City of Woodburn will be placing a bond measure on this November’s ballot. The funds would support the expansion and improvements of Woodburn’s Aquatic center into a full-service community center. The new facility would support expanded access to recreation, health, and wellness programming for all ages and abilities—kids, families, adults, and seniors—while filling a clear need by providing an affordable space for large community events.

Check out what the Proposed Woodburn Community Center would look like!

This project was developed through a multi-year process undertaken by the City with a wide array of community input and feedback to address the needs of our growing, diverse community. Woodburn is in desperate need of more affordable spaces where groups and families can gather or host large events. This community center meets that need, by creating an affordable, local, multigenerational, multicultural and multipurpose venue for quinceañeras, family reunions, business meetings, trainings and conferences, and holiday celebrations.

Additionally, our community lacks indoor recreation spaces, and the existing pool needs expansion and improvement. This bond creates new recreation and wellness opportunities for residents of all ages, including an indoor walking and jogging track, weights, cardio and fitness facilities, a new warm-water recreation and therapy pool, and a two-basketball court gymnasium with ability to adapt for multiple sports including pickleball and volleyball.
