History
In October 1950, the Parks Bureau purchased an Шаблон:Convert tract of land featuring two small creeks and wooded areas between Vermont and Canby Streets for $120,000. The land had been bought in 1890 by a Swiss immigrant named Ulrich Gabriel, who farmed this land and operated the Pine Creek Dairy as well.[3] In July 1995, Portland Parks & Recreation offered a Шаблон:Convert dog off-leash area on a six-month trial basis in Gabriel Park. The Southwest Community Center was funded by Measure 26-10 and opened in June 1999.[4]
Features and use
The park costs the city approximately $231,000 per year in maintenance.[5]
