A letter from the Director...

The Milwaukie Center opened in January, 1980. This year we are celebrating our 30th anniversary as a resource for older adults and their families in North Clackamas County. The Center is well-used by the entire community. We offer a wide array of programs and services to meet the diverse needs of the community. Programs and services span weekdays, evenings and weekends. Annually, over 800 volunteers help make a difference providing more than 75,000 hours of service through the Milwaukie Center.

 

The Milwaukie Center/Community Advisory Board is the primary policy advisor to Milwaukie Center staff and the North Clackamas Parks District Advisory Board. The Board meets regularly the second Friday of every month at 9:30 am at Milwaukie Center. Everyone is welcome to attend advisory board meetings – bring your thoughts and ideas!

 

On weekends and evenings, people of all ages enjoy private gatherings and community events held at the Center. Take in the magic of the one-acre Sara Hite Memorial Rose Garden, built by the Friends of the Milwaukie Center for the enjoyment of all. Stroll the 45 acres of North Clackamas Park, a beautiful resource with natural areas, picnic areas, an off-leash dog arena and ball fields.

 

Welcome! We invite you to take advantage of opportunities regularly available at the Milwaukie Center. Receive the Center’s monthly newsletter, either by mail or on-line and become a fan of our Facebook page to stay informed about what is happening at the Center!
