Brooks Resources was recently honored by the Oregon Recreation and Parks Association. The 2017 Private Sector Partner Award recognizes an Oregon-based entity, corporation, or non-profit organization that has made a significant contribution to the park and recreation profession, either through an agency or the state association.
“Brooks Resources has been a partner to park and recreation in Bend since the 1920s when Brooks Scanlon donated Shevlin Park to the City of Bend,” said Don Horton, Executive Director for Bend Park and Recreation District, the entity who nominated the company for the award. “In more recent times, Brooks Resources helped fund the riverway study that led to 54 projects necessary to complete the Deschutes River Trail, made donations of Compass Park, Rim Rock Natural Area, Archie Briggs Canyon Natural Area, Tree Farm (312 acres added to Shevlin Park) and future expansion to Discovery Park.”
