We are collaborating with Lincoln City Parks & Recreation to bring you an opportunity to contribute to Lincoln City’s newest public park, Schooner Creek Discovery Park! The new park is located in the Taft district of Lincoln City and will feature an inclusive and accessible playground, sports recreation areas, and gathering spaces for all to enjoy. As enthusiasts for all things outdoors, we are excited to support a new way to get outside in Lincoln City, and we invite you to join in the fun!
Through Lincoln City Parks & Recreation, you can now purchase a paver brick to be installed in the park. For our bird-lovers, we offer you the chance to shout out your favorite local bird on your brick! Once they’re installed, we will use the bird bricks as a tool to facilitate learning opportunities about the birds you can see at the park and surrounding areas. If you’d like to support Schooner Creek Discovery Park by purchasing a bird brick, here’s what you need to do:
Check our list of local birds to choose yours (note: shaded bird species are already taken).
Send us a message at info@sevencapes.org to let us know which bird (or birds) you chose!
Head over to Lincoln City Parks & Recreation’s donation page to purchase your brick and choose the 4x8 paver. For your inscription, type in your bird species in line one and your name in line two. If you prefer to stay anonymous, you can use both lines for your bird species (ex. line one: Black line 2: Oystercatcher) or feel free to use “Seven Capes” in line two. Complete your purchase.
We can’t wait to see the bird bricks at Schooner Creek Discovery Park! This is our latest effort to infuse the fun of birding into public spaces. We provided source photos for Joanne Daschel's beautiful bird mosaics in the new park's playground and are working with Lincoln City Parks and Recreation to install an Osprey nesting platform by Schooner Creek.
