A Message from Medford Parks,
Recreation and Facilities

Medford’s iconic indoor oasis, the Rogue Credit Union Community Complex, opened almost two years ago, but
the Department certainly hasn’t stopped thinking about current and future community park and recreation facility
needs. The City, in partnership with Howard Memorial Sports Park Inc., is busy developing the vacant land around
the Rogue X.

Pickleball advocates rejoiced October 2 at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Lithia & Driveway Pickleball Park,
located south of the Rogue X. When it opens in Spring 2026, this 19-court outdoor facility will be the largest of its
kind in Oregon and will help Medford attract large tournaments that are good for the local economy and outstanding
opportunities for residents to compete at the regional and national level without having to travel.

Medford residents have also asked for more sand volleyball courts, and four championship-caliber courts are being
installed adjacent to the pickleball venue.

Passersby of Howard Memorial Sports Park at the intersection of Rossanley and Ross Lane have noticed construction
of the 75-percent scale replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall. We’re pleased to work with Southern Oregon Veterans
and a variety of local businesses in making this decades-long aspiration come to fruition in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, the neighborhood park surrounding the war memorial is expected to be completed in late 2026.

HMSP isn’t the only place where development is occurring. The Department recently obtained a $780,000 Oregon
Local Government Grant to renovate Jackson Park in west Medford that will feature an interactive splash pad on the
old Jackson Aquatics Center pool site. And the City received a $495,000 state legislative allocation to upgrade the
Discovery Preschool classrooms at the Santo Community Center.

We are also in the process of upgrading the natural-grass playing surface and practice areas at Harry & David Field
for the benefit of local high-school teams and the Medford Rogues. The venue will host the American Legion Regional
Baseball Tournament in July 2026 and ‘27.
