Description

An emerald ash borer was found this summer in Southeast Portland, placing all of Multnomah County into a quarantine. The destructive pest, which has killed hundreds of millions of ash trees throughout the U.S., was first discovered in Oregon in 2022.

A tiny beetle known for decimating ash trees throughout North America and Europe has been discovered for the first time in Portland and has spread to new sites in several other counties where the invasive pest has already been detected, city and state forestry officials said Wednesday.

Restrooms at Mingus Park The City’s Operations Division will be performing sitework to install a new restroom in Mingus Park. The restroom will be located west of the N. 10th Street park entrance. To install the restroom and the necessary utilities, staff will be removing some vegetation near the playground. In doing this work, staff will also be power washing and painting the veteran’s cross, removing a diseased tree, and some general landscaping work. The restroom has been ordered but there is a lead time for delivery. It is anticipated that delivery will occur in late spring and the installation will be completed by summer 2026. This project is funded by the City’s Park Capital budget and a grant for Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. This project also includes the rehabilitation of the existing restrooms near the ballfields, on the east side of the N. 10th Street entrance. Should you have any questions, please contact Greg Hamblet, Operations Administrator at 541-269-1181 ext. 3541 or ghamblet@coosbayor.gov.
