See our current park & capital projects and their status below
Schooner Creek Discovery Park (SCDP)
The first new park in over 20 years is coming to Lincoln City!
Schooner Creek Discovery Park is located at 4815 SE 51st Street, Lincoln City, OR 97367.
The development and construction of the new Schooner Creek Discovery Park is stated as the #1 goal of the 2016 Lincoln City Parks System Plan, and will address a recreation gap in the southern part in the City.
Playground—SCDP Phase 1
Phase 1 of this 3-phased park project, the 1st inclusive and accessible public playground on the Oregon Coast, opened on December 14, 2024.
An inclusive playground provides opportunities for people of all abilities and all ages to play together and find challenges at their own level. Inclusive playgrounds go above and beyond the minimum standards of accessibility to promote a truly inclusive experience so every person at the playground feels like they belong.
Event Stage and Lawn- SCDP Phase 2
The Phase 2 construction began in Spring 2025. Phase 2 will include an entry plaza with an art mural, promenade, covered picnic shelters, a special event stage, lawn area, and gender-neutral restrooms, with a universal changing table. Phase 2 will open at the end of June 2026.
Multi-sports Courts & Fields- SCDP Phase 3
Phase 3 design is well underway, with construction to begin in June 2026. Completion is planned for fall 2026. Phase 3 amenities will include a covered multi-sports court, permanent pickleball courts, turfed multi-sports field, and walking paths.
Regatta Park Sandcastle Replacement
The development planning and conceptual design process for the new ADA compliant Sandcastle Playground in Regatta Park began in 2024.
A public Open House was held in May 2024. Many people attended this event, sharing their special memories of the current playground, and their ideas for the new playground. Utilizing the public input received during the Open House, and from almost 200 online survey responses, the playground design is in process. A date has not yet been set for construction. Vision Board
Public Restroom Upgrades
The NW 17th public restroom was completely re-built to be more accessible and inclusive. Construction was completed in 2025.
This project has been funded in part by a grant from Travel Oregon.
