Home of Dundee Skatepark

Dundee-Billick joined the district in 1978 at the request of the residents living in the nearby neighborhood.

Not only did they suggest the park, they helped plan it.

The Billick family, led by Jack Billick, and Dundee City Hall, joined together to donate the property on which the park is located. 

Jaquith Park is named for Walter Jaquith, a Newberg minister, and one of five original board members of the district when it was founded in June 1965.

Jaquith’s work to help create new parks had actually begun in 1963.

At that time, he led a group of local civic leaders in a series of meetings to discuss how best to serve the growing recreational needs of the city.
