    Prior to May 24th, a household may reserve one plot. If there are remaining plots available after May 24th, households may apply for an additional plot. The garden will be opened for planting no later than Memorial Day weekend.

    The City is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

    Those who reside outside of Stayton who are interested in applying for a garden plot should contact Stayton Public Works after Memorial Day to reserve a plot if any are available.

  • In 2017, the City purchased 23 acres of land for park development as recommended in the 2004 Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

    The property has become known as Mill Creek Park due to Mill Creek running diagonally through the north 1/3 of the property.

    In 2018, the City hired AKS Engineering and Forestry to prepare a Park Master Plan for the property. Community involvement consisted of several meetings with Stayton residents to select the features and amenities for Stayton’s newest park. Three alternative plans were developed and were placed in the Stayton Community Library for a month to gather additional feedback. AKS compiled all the information and finalized the Mill Creek Park Master Plan.
