A New Tigard Triangle

The Tigard Triangle

The City is working to transform the Tigard Triangle into a vibrant area where people of all ages, abilities and incomes can live and work within walking distance to shops, restaurants and parks.

Located in the northeast corner of the city, just east of Downtown Tigard, the area's name comes from the triangle that is formed by the roadways that surround it: Highway 99W (Pacific Highway), Highway 217, and Interstate 5.

At about 550 acres, roughly the size of Downtown Portland, the Tigard Triangle is full of potential but parts of it lack basic infrastructure like sewers, sidewalks roads, parks, and access to the roadways that surround it. The Triangle has the ability to support Tigard’s future growth but needs help overcoming the existing development barriers.

In May 2017, residents approved the creation of an urban renewal area that would help turn the community's vision into a reality by funding projects through tax increment financing (TIF).

We need help from you, your friends, and neighbors to imagine a park that serves the Tigard community.

The City of Tigard created a Tigard Triangle Strategic Plan with extensive input from the community to realize this vision. One result that came from your input is the desire for parks within the Tigard Triangle.

Today, we’re imagining what a park should look like; including what services will be offered and how to make it a welcoming place. As part of Tigard’s mission to be an equitable, walkable, and healthy community that is accessible for everyone, we’re working to design services that reflect community members’ needs and elevate the experiences of senior, BIPOC, and underhoused residents.
