Thanks to Lake Oswego High School Cross Country Team!

On August 26, about 60 members of the Lake Oswego High School Cross Country Team and their coach, Eric Lider, spread 10 yards of large gravel on 0.2 miles of new trail in Springbrook Park.

Last spring, the Lake Oswego High School Track Team blazed the new trail, which connects the park’s trail system to Country Club Road.  The trail creates a new entry way into the park, providing easy access to this wonderful park for the cross country and track teams, as well as Lake Oswego High Schoo students and community members.  The cross country team and their coach worked hard for two hours and did an excellent job.

The Friends of Springbrook Park, the City of Lake Oswego, and the LOHS cross country and track teams have worked together for years to improve the trails in the park.  This partnership has made a huge difference in the park, making the trails much more accessible, durable, and usable year-round.

Steck is active on the dive team at Thomas Edison, said Paul Lyons, Friends of Springbrook Park founding and current board member.
