Hamby Park
U. J. Hamby Park is a nearly seven acre municipal park in northwest Hillsboro, Oregon, United States. Opened in 1990, the park includes nature trails along a small creek as well as a basketball court and grass lawn. The park is named after the longtime Chevrolet dealership owner, whose family donated the land to the city in 1986. The natural portion of the park includes wetlands and woodlands.
==History==
Eugene Hamby, the son of Ulin J. Hamby, donated three acres to the city of Hillsboro in 1986.〔Staff. “Dedication ceremony set as Hillsboro’s Hamby Park”, ''The Oregonian'', September 11, 1995, p. B2.〕〔“Hillsboro gets grant for new city park”, ''The Oregonian'', May 12, 1989, p. D2.〕 U. J. Hamby was the longtime owner of the Chevrolet car dealership in Hillsboro and father-in-law of then state legislator Jeannette Hamby.〔 In May 1989, the federal government gave Hillsboro’s parks department $26,975 to develop a park on the land along Northeast Jackson School Road.〔 The city chose the name Hamby Park at that time and construction began later that year.〔
Part of the funding for the park came from development fees charged by the city.〔 Construction continued into July 1990,〔Bach, Robert. “Field of dreams”, ''The Oregonian'', July 9, 1990, Picture Caption: p. B2.〕 and the park opened later in 1990.〔Potter, Connie “Official see need for more parks”, ''The Oregonian'', March 4, 1991, p. B2.〕 Work on the park was not finished when it opened,〔 and additional land was purchased by the city to add to the park.〔 On September 13, 1995, Hillsboro officially dedicated the park in a ceremony featuring mayor Gordon Faber.〔〔“Almanac”, ''The Oregonian'', September 14, 1995, West Zoner p. 7.〕
The gazebo at the park was refurbished with a new roof in 2004.〔Olsen, Dana. “Reroofing the gazebo”, ''The Oregonian'', December 14, 2004, p. D2.〕 In 2007, the park was the first park adopted in the city’s adopt-a-park program, with adoption coming from students of the Miller Education Center.〔Bermudez, Esmeralda. “You can really clean up in adopt-a-park program”, ''The Oregonian'', April 12, 2007, Metro West Neighbors p. 6.〕〔Demlow, Kay. (“Hamby Park gets mulched and chopped”, ) ''The Oregonian'', October 29, 2008. Retrieved on April 24, 2009.〕 Students from the school and volunteers from SOLV worked to remove invasive plant species and spread new barkdust at the park during a work party in October 2008.〔 The park was one of several parks slated for improvements from a bond put to a vote by the city in November 2008, but the levy failed.〔Suh, Elizabeth. “Hillsboro parks seek $44.5 million bond”, ''The Oregonian'', October 9, 2008, Metro West Neighbors p. 13.〕
