Picnic Tables

This approximately 9-acre neighborhood park is located in south Newberg, at the end of Corinne Dr. and Kennedy Dr., near Friends' Cemetery and the airport. Local neighborhood residents long sought and supported the development of a neighborhood park in this location, and participated in public meetings,  committee and subcommittee to help plan the development of the park and select playground equipment. Park amenities include a paved trail, playground, basketball court, and a large, flat, open space.

HISTORY AND FUNDING

.19 miles (short but sweet) - This secluded, idyllic park in Dundee features a trail alongside the hill which runs across the back of the park. Note that while this is a peaceful setting, you may hear gunshots; a private gun club is adjacent to the park (not affiliated with CPRD).

Bob's Corner is a pocket park open from dawn 'til dusk and is an idyllic setting for picnicking under the shade of old oak trees.

From 99W, turn onto NE Haugen Road (right if driving north; left is driving south). This is a fairly steep, winding road. After two miles, stop at the stop sign at the T. Turn right at the onto NE Parrett Mt. Road. After 1.7 miles, Bob's Corner will be on your left. Look for the CPRD park sign identifying it as Bob's Corner. There are picnic tables and trashcans but no restrooms. 

Ewing Young is one of the most fascinating figures in the history of west.

Born in Tennessee in 1799, he made his living as a fur trapper and trader, and spent his entire adult life on the edge of the American frontier.

Permanent, non-native settlement of Newberg and Yamhill County begins with Young’s arrival in 1834.

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. 

The park first became a reality in 1966 and its namesake is one of the most interesting civic leaders to ever reside in Newberg.

Welcome to Ewing Young Park, one of Chehalem Park and Recreation District’s 22 parks open to your enjoyment.

Ewing Young is one of the most fascinating figures in the history of west.

Tom Gail Park was dedicated on July 12, 2008. It was made possible with a gift of 3.25 acres, thanks to the generosity of Tom Gail, a physician who practiced medicine locally for over 40 years.

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.
