Alvah Cowan Park

Alvah Cowan Park is located on the corner of Settlemier Avenue and Garfield Street. The Park was named by a Council Resolution in 1984, recognizing Mr.

The park's original name was Triangle Park, which, along with Settlemier Park, was one of Woodburn's first two parks.

The diseased roses were replaced, boxwood hedges were planted, and invasive ivy was removed from the Park's trees during an Earth Day event.

The Society would like to thank those who have participated, including Patricia Hyatt, Ellen and Bob Bandelow, Boys and Girls Club, Colin Brown, Noah Carlson, Sharon Corning, Vi Cutler, Catherine Feeney, Gevin Gregory, Kay McEwen, LDS Church, Johnny Perdue, Michel Te, Jonas Te, Donna Wood, and the Youth Advisory Board.

Individuals who are interested in getting involved with this ongoing project can email Patricia Hyatt at patriciahyatt@msn. com.

This group of volunteers has really improved the park, and through their initiative, has made it one of the truly great gems of Woodburn

Cowan's accomplishments and years of service to the community, particularly in the area of recreation and parks.

This project was a true community effort involving countless hours from a large number of volunteers.

Woodburn's history is littered with citizen involvement, which makes the City a better place to live.

The Settlemier Knott Garden Society initiated a beautification project in the summer of 2013 that spruced up the flower beds and added new perennials and flowers.

Volunteers are still needed to participate in small monthly maintenance activities at the Park.
