Parks & Recreation Committee

The Wheeler Parks & Recreation Committee meets every second Wednesday of the month at 10:00 a.m. in Wheeler City Hall.

The Parks engages citizens in park maintenance and beautification, in addition to upkeep of city-owned flower boxes throughout the town. The Parks Committee donates valuable resources and oversight to maintaining the natural beauty of Wheeler.

The committee is actively adding volunteers. All it takes is completing a volunteer form and working an hour per week. You could even win a prize...

Wheeler Parks

Waterfront Park

Waterfront Park is the City’s “first impression” park, and is located at Rector Street and Marine Drive on the waterfront. The site encompasses nearly an acre of land on Nehalem Bay. The park offers the community a window of open space. From the site reveals, a sweeping panorama of the distant coastline, Neahkahnie Mountain, the wooded Coast Range, a wildlife sanctuary, and the river estuary. Sunsets, storms, wildlife, fishing boats, and rainbows are all a part of this spectacular landscape. The park’s beautiful flowers, green grass, and magnificent views of Nehalem Bay and its islands add beauty and character to Wheeler.

Upper Park

Upper Park is our largest park, encompassing approximately 3.5 acres. Its entrance is located on Second Street, just off Rowe Street. The park is well above the Tsunami inundation zone and designated as the emergency meeting site.
