    For those of us were familiar with Lewis P. Aldrich (AKA "Rocket") Park in its original form, its…read morepresent state is a mere faint shadow of its former self. Back in the mid 60's when it opened as such it was crowded with kids from the time school let out until dinnertime and all day on weekends. Nothing provided shelter except the firepit/picnic structure. So, come the wet weather, one made do as best as one could. The land for park use was bought in 1950. However, I don't know if it was named as Aldrich Park at that early date. I knew my grandfather knew Lewis Aldrich personally but, being a kid, I never asked him what the stipulations were as far as Mr. Aldrich's handing over the land to build the park that I knew and loved. The re-outfitting of the park as I knew it was finished in 1967. And the amenities were impressive. Basketball hoops (still there)/Tennis court (gone). A three-stream fountain shooting onto a big piece of basalt rock to cool us all off in the heat. Gone. Horseshoe courts. Gone. Softball field. Gone. Four-story-tall four-segmented rocket with a radar station opposite it across the sand playground. Gone. Sand playground. Gone--replaced with wood chips. A big concrete structure like a rollercoaster that you could ride your bike, skates or skateboard up and down. Gone. BIG swing set. Gone. Geodesic dome monkey bars structure. Gone. The firepit in the still-extant covered picnic structure was removed in about 1982. I think idiots made it into a fire hazard, so they removed it. Too bad because roasting marshmallows and stuff there was always fun. It was "my park" from 1968-1983 as I lived right across the street from it. By 1978 the demographics of the neighborhood were changing and the constant roar of kids playing there died off. In 2004 a city block of houses and the park were obliterated to make way for the (New) Bush Elementary School. That institution is nowhere NEAR as big or accommodating as its namesake that I attended in the '70's. And it says something about the neighborhood in which it now sits. The neighborhood, like Aldrich Park, is a mere shadow of its former self. Sic Transit Gloria Mundi. So the glory of the world. All things must pass.

    It's an older park that has seen better days. But it has a decent children's playground and a nice…read morecovered area with picnic tables.

    I'm shocked to see the one star reviews on this site, because our experience with Mike and Sport…read moreCourt of Oregon has been nothing short of fantastic. We brought Mike in very late to a major backyard overhaul we were doing, and he figured out a way to work us into his schedule to keep our project moving forward. He helped us with the design, provided an accurate bid based on our specs, and delivered the work exactly as we outlined and to our satisfaction. He also did a great job working with our landscape contractor to coordinate the concrete work he was responsible for with the grading and retaining wall work that they were doing. In addition, I've called Mike back on a couple of occasions to adjust and tune up our rebounder and ball containment system, and he and his team have responded immediately to make it look and function like it was brand new. It's really nice to have a contractor stand behind their work. We have friends who have also used Sport Court of Oregon, and they are extremely pleased with the results. Good luck with your project! Adding the Sport Court into our backyard to get our kids outside and playing has been well worth the investment.

    We had an issue with the foundation under our court that they built about 9 years ago. They agreed…read moreto fix it as in their words "This shouldn't have been built with wood." After over 3 months of emails back and forth to schedule the repair, and in the middle of them, a change of ownership at Sport Court of Oregon, they now won't fix it or help with it at all. Bart Dickson the new owner came out to find what he called a "win-win" which ended up being denying all responsibility despite his employee admitting it was their fault and they would fix it. He fabricated a story that we selected wood for the material so it's our fault, which I have paperwork showing that's not the case. They sent us an email with contractors to call to figure it out on our own. Note, prior to the change of ownership, they had been wonderful to work with. Buyer beware if you ever have an issue under the new ownership. They will gladly take your money but you're on your own if something goes wrong, even if they admit it was their error.
