Wilsonville expands Memorial Park disc golf course to 19 holes; designer honored by ORPA
Summary
Wilsonville’s Memorial Park course was expanded from nine holes to 19 through donor funding and volunteer work led by designer and retailer owner Jesse Tomeno; the city said the Oregon Recreation and Park Association (ORPA) recognized Tomeno with a 2025 award (award name unclear in the transcript).
Wilsonville’s Memorial Park now has a 19‑hole public disc golf course after a donor-funded expansion that city presenters said activated an underused wooded area and drew on volunteer labor.
City parks staff told attendees the city’s single public course, located beyond the athletic fields at Lower Memorial Park, had been a modest nine‑hole layout until last year, when staff were introduced to course designer Jesse Tomeno. Tomeno is described in the record as a certified disc golf player, advocate, event promoter, course designer and owner of Portland retailer All Day Disc Golf.
“The course expansion is 100% donor funded,” the presenter said, noting that Tomeno not only designed the new layout but also helped rally the local disc golf community to raise money and organize volunteer work parties to install the holes.
A local disc golf club member credited Tomeno’s role: “Jesse’s involvement was absolutely critical.” Another participant characterized Memorial Park Disc Golf Course as “one of the busiest courses in the area,” saying that its accessibility and welcoming design suit players of all skill levels.
According to the presentation, the project increased the course from nine holes to 19, opening play in what the city described as a previously underutilized wooded section of the park. The city said the project creates a new recreational destination within Wilsonville that “can be enjoyed by virtually anyone.”
City presenters also said Wilsonville is recognizing Jesse Tomeno with a 2025 honor from the Oregon Recreation and Park Association (ORPA). The transcript records the award name as “bridal sector partner award,” which appears to be a transcription inconsistency; the specific name of the ORPA award was not clearly specified in the record.
The presentation did not include formal votes or city council actions requesting budget allocations; city staff described the expansion as fully donor funded and supported by volunteers. The next procedural step described in the record was public recognition of Tomeno by the city and ORPA.
