Welcome to Riverpark CIO
The Riverpark Community Involvement Organization (CIO) is one of six residential CIOs located in separate geographical areas of Tualatin. The map below shows the outline of our neighborhood - Riverpark. Our membership is open to all who reside or own property in this area. The Riverpark Board of volunteers supports members by working with the City of Tualatin and other government agencies when questions, ideas and/or complaints are brought to our attention. Our focus is on community safety, livability, equity and a sense of community.
Message From Tualatin City Manager - Lam Research Expansion
NEWS – LAM EXPANSION
The Riverpark Community Involvement Organization has been in communication with the City, community members and LAM officials regarding the expansion plan. The following report was sent to our Land Use Officer on August 27th from City Manager Sherilyn Lombos.
… Regarding the development; there are a lot of moving pieces on this, and they’re moving pretty slowly. The application is not yet deemed complete and there are missing chunks of information and changes being made. I’m not sure when the project will even be scheduled for Planning Commission or the Architectural Review Board, but it’s months out.
It seems like the main concern of the surrounding neighborhood is traffic, specifically traffic coming into and out of the facility on Tualatin Road. I know there are conversations between staff and Lam about this, and I believe there are ideas being worked on, maybe not yet ready for primetime, but that would address or get to the concerns that have been raised. I think the entrance at 115th and Tualatin is not going away; however, there may be creative solutions to limit through traffic onto 115th. I think there may be some other ideas about additional ingress/egress that are not onto Tualatin Road. And I think Lam is thinking about how to maximize the space and minimize the congestion with their employees – specifically encouraging carpooling, shuttle service, and working with TriMet and Ride Connection on additional stops. All of that is on the table, I think, but it takes a little time as they work on their plans.
I know you and your neighbors, including the CIO leadership will be active and involved, and I think you can be a good conduit on this issue. Thank you for engaging.
Sherilyn Lombos
… and thank you Sherilyn

Riverpark CIO Accomplishments
Riverpark Community Fair
In partnership with the City of Tualatin, our second Community Fair was held on May 20, 2023. We celebrated beautiful Spring weather with over 200 Riverpark neighbors.
Tualatin Road Safety
Residents needed help following complaints of speeding, noise, and concerns for safety on Tualatin Road. Public Works has responded with building crosswalks, adding an electronic speed meter… and we now have an official Deer Crossing sign. Recently, the CIO has received a request to look into speed enforcement by our police.
Off-Leash Dog Park
Riverpark residents and their best dog friends meet mid-morning at Jurgens Park off-leash area. The residents lobbied for years for this wonderful area where dogs can roam, play, and just be dogs. Anecdotally, their human partners have formed lasting friendships throughout the neighborhood while keeping their eyes on their canine companions. This improvement has been a win-win for dog owners and nonowners since it provides an off-leash option.
National Night Out
The Riverpark CIO has contributed funding to neighborhood gatherings to mark National Night Out. This event is celebrated on the first Tuesday in August and promotes police-community partnerships. Our Police Chief Steele and his officers make rounds to greet folks at each of the events.
Greenway Benches
In partnership with the Parks Department, the CIO contributed grant money for the project.
Citizen Emergency Response Team (CERT)
Riverpark CIO supports the Citizen Emergency Response Team (CERT). These volunteers have the training and focus to help neighbors in emergencies, such as power outage, floods and earthquake. Each volunteer can set up a command center, offer search and rescue, provide basic first aid and communicate with City and County emergency response centers through HAM radios. Out of 108 active CERTs, Riverpark has 32 members.
​
Emergency Supply Kits
Riverpark CIO has contributed grant funds to a community emergency supply kit. There are currently two supply hubs located in Riverpark. They are available to CERTs in the event of an emergency. In an emergency, Command Centers will be set up at Hazelbrook Middle School – if school is not in session. Alternative locations will be at the cemetery or business at 124th and Tualatin Road.
