Barton Park Master Plan

Barton County Park is a 122-acre regional park located along the north side of the Clackamas River and offers many recreational opportunities including overnight camping, picnicking, hiking, and accessing the Clackamas River. During the summer months, many people from around the region use Barton as a place to access the Clackamas for a three-hour float to the Carver Boat launch. Both Barton and Carver have experienced capacity and safety issues with the proximity to our region’s growing population and ever-growing interest in recreating close to home.

The County has also incorporated three new parcels into the complex which will offer the ability to expand the current program and provide new uses at the park. GreenWorks has assembled a multi-disciplinary team to analyze the existing transportation issues inside and outside the park, which are caused by peak-season use. The team will prepare a Master Plan to address safety, user experience, capacity, and revenue generation while incorporating the new undeveloped areas into the overall the park.
