Settled in 1846 by the grandson of Daniel Boone, Wilsonville, Ore., is located on the Willamette River 18 miles south of Portland. Originally a farming community with a bustling ferry service, the city was incorporated in 1968; although it is now home to several high-tech companies, many surrounding historic farms still remain active.
Murase Plaza is part of the 126-acre Wilsonville Memorial Park, the largest and oldest in the city. A recent playground renovation began with the demolition of most of the existing equipment. An existing dome climber and swing structure were salvaged, while concrete sidewalks were added for better wheelchair access, and an adjacent hill was contoured and steepened to receive an embankment slide.
