You've done it, Tigard! Over 3,200 community members have joined Tigard's Summer Reading adventure, exceeding our goal of 3,000 sign-ups. Meeting the goal means that six new board games, three new lawn games, and two new role-playing game kits will be added to the Tigard Library of Things. Sign-up and completion continue through August 31, so there is still time to start or complete the challenge. Learn more. |

The City of Tigard is planning its next great neighborhood, River Terrace 2.0 — and we want your input. River Terrace 2.0 will be a 500-acre community on the city’s western boundary. Since 2022, community feedback has helped guide our planning. Now, we’re ready to dive into the details — and we need your help! What’s Happening? From now through September, we’ll be sharing a series of short surveys to better understand what neighborhood features and amenities matter most to you, like parks, trails, gathering spaces, and more. Why It Matters Your feedback will help us shape the neighborhood, so everyone will feel welcome and connected. How You Can Get Involved Look for survey links in upcoming city newsletters and social media posts. Each one takes just a few minutes — and makes a big difference. Learn more about River Terrace 2.0 on the project website and check out the city website for updates. Take the first short survey on parks now!
