Stockton's newly renovated McKinley Park reopens after 10 years

STOCKTON -- With a splash, McKinley Park and Swimming Pool is back. Getting to the moment of cutting the ribbon during Tuesday's ceremony took an entire decade of effort. "The building was brown and dingy. There was a fence around it, but people still scaled the fence and would go in here, which is why we then ended up having problems," Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi said. "This is night and day from what it looked like." McKinley Park and Swimming Pool started as mineral baths in the 1990s, but after decades of vandalism, the city decided to shut its doors in 2015. Over the past 10 years, the area has sat empty with no pool access and a withering park. Then, in 2021, the city gathered enough money to begin the design process. After four years, the project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget. For neighbors who have seen the progress of this park over the past decade, this reopening means much more than just beating the summer heat. "Transformative, it really is," south Stockton resident Shawn Bennett shared. "I look forward to being here almost every day, bringing my friends here, my family here. It's like what the mayor said, it's generational right here. This is it. This is the real thing." Fugazi was the first to cannonball into the brand new pool. As a Stockton native, she can't wait to see the park bring the community together. "We're one Stockton," she said. "When we do stuff like this, the South community feels like they're part of that one Stockton. We're all in this together."

Portland parks to enforce stricter policy, fees for dog owners with off-leash pets

PORTLAND, Ore. () — The City of Portland has implemented stricter regulations and new fees for residents with off-leash dogs. that a new policy allows officials to immediately hit dog owners with a fine if they fail to put a leash on their pet in areas where leashes are required. The previous policy, established in 2013, directed park rangers to first issue citations for this offense — but officials said the initial warning has made the regulations 'difficult to enforce.' Oregon chef, bakery take home trophies from esteemed James Beard Awards 'Dog off-leash issues are a top concern for many community members all across the city,' PP&R said. 'These policy changes will help keep our parks safe and clean for all park visitors, and make sure they are welcoming for everyone.' Leashed dogs are permitted in most of Portland's public spaces, with the exception of sites including Tanner Springs Park, Mt. Tabor Park amphitheater and sports facilities with artificial and manicured turfs. Officials are more focused on cracking down on dog owners who allow pets to wander freely without a leash in undesignated areas, when there are more than 30 throughout the city. This includes portions of Irving Park, Alberta Park and Cathedral Park. But park rangers won't fine offenders straight away. Gov. Kotek signs POWER Act to shield Oregonians from Big Tech utility bills Staff is now 'piloting the new policy at parks with significant dog off-leash issues,' by informing residents of the changes before penalizing them, PP&R said. The bureau added that rangers could still choose to issue a citation as a first-time warning. Workers can also provide free leashes or poop bag holders to help with the new policy. The potential fine for off-leash dogs and failing to pick up poop ranges from $50 to $150, according to city code. Officials additionally ask pet owners not to bring their dogs to parks if they are 'in heat' or not fully vaccinated. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
