The Graham Oaks Nature Park in Wilsonville, Oregon is a 250-acre nature park with a network of trails that allow visitors to view wildlife while they cycle or jog. The park, which opened in 2010, is owned and managed by Metro which is the regional government in the Oregon part of the Portland metro area.
The Graham Oaks Nature Park has a restored oak woodland, a conifer forest, a picnic shelter, and a wetland overlook for bird viewing.
The park also serves as an outdoor classroom to nearby elementary and middle schools. Boones Ferry Primary School and Inza R. Wood Middle School both sit next to the Graham Oaks Nature Park.
For a building in this natural environment, Romtec provided six solar panels with 175 Watts each to supply power to the restroom and Solatube’s to bring in natural light. The result is an environmentally friendly building that is both aesthetic pleasing and effective.
The building features a metal roof, Hardie panel with batten siding, rock veneer siding, interior concrete block wall, Lexan windows, kick-resistant metal vent, along with an anti-graffiti coating on all interior and exterior walls.
