Discover Glenn Otto Park

Glenn Otto Park is a special place because it sits right next to the Sandy River and Beaver Creek. This makes it a great spot for enjoying the water and nature. Because the river can be strong, the city and a local group work together to have lifeguards on duty. This helps keep everyone safe while they are swimming or playing near the water.

History of the Park

The park wasn't always called Glenn Otto Park. Before 1995, it was known as Troutdale Community Park. The name was changed to honor a very important person: Glenn Otto. He was a former mayor of Troutdale. Renaming the park was a way to remember his contributions to the community.
