Over the next few months, the City of Willamina will begin the preliminary investigation
and engineering work for emergency repairs to the Willamina Creek bank, which is adjacent
to Hampton Park. Park goers will see additional activity associated with this work, including
topographic surveying, wetland and waterway delineation, and geotechnical explorations.
Project Details
The geotechnical field work will require a
drill rig to bore a hole into the subsurface
and characterize soil beneath the site.
Groundwater levels will also be monitored
to assess different causes of erosion
and help identify potential engineering
solutions. This work will be completed
along the creek bank and within the closed
portion of the park. The City asks that park
goers avoid these areas during active field
work.
This project will be completed in phases. A
grant from Business Oregon is funding this
first phase and will develop a conceptual
design for the repairs. The second phase,
funded by the Oregon Legislature through
Business Oregon, will include final design
and construction should funds allow. The
City currently anticipates that construction
will occur in late 2024 through 2025.
The City intends to share more information
as it becomes available.

Willamina City Manager, with any questions
