Trails Team Update

April 27, 2025, by Bob Sprague, Trails Team Coordinator

The OAP Trails Team has been super busy having fun together! Here are some updates.


Memorializing Legacy Trails

The community has identified many critical community pathways connecting neighborhoods. We have termed these "Legacy Trails". We have started our work in engaging with owners to win their acceptance of the trail markers. We have completed the installation of two trails already. We recognize our children, our children's children and beyond will thank us for these efforts today. We are creating a lasting testament to our environmental and community stewardship, our social, physical, and emotional health and wellbeing, and our embrace of civic prosperity. 


Community Cleanup

OAP, Trails Team collaborated with WEBS on April 19th to remove the trash from Oceanside. Fifteen OAP volunteers worked from Tunnel Beach to meet our partners in Netarts. We also hit HWY 131 in the process.  A special "thank you" to WEBS for promoting the event and Netarts Oceanside Fire for hauling away the mounds of trash collected.  Heaps of garbage were collected. We had a blast working together and look forward to the next opportunity.


Short Beach Trail

TIllamook County Public Works (TCPW), have finalized the material quantities list, cost estimate, and plans with the assistance from Trail Keepers of Oregon for the redevelopment of the Short Beach Trail. TCPW is now purchasing the materials needed. We will soon be completing a work schedule together. Our Trails Team will be ready, and we will send an invitation to our community for those wanting to join in.  


Please know everyone is invited to join in--there is always room for you! We love meeting friends, building relationships, and getting things done in the process. Contact me at info@oceansideactionpartnership.org

Help Us Find the Potholes and Stormwater Drains Put on your walking shoes and join the fun. We’re launching a community‑wide treasure hunt to locate potholes and stormwater drains that need attention. Every “find” helps improve safety and supports our partnership with Tillamook County Public Works. How to Play See it! Spot a pothole or stormwater drain that needs maintenance. Snap it! Take a clear photo and note the nearest street names or landmarks. Report it! Email your photo and location to: david@daviddulaney.com Track it! Visit https://www.oceansideactionpartnership.org/roads-and-parking to view the live map and watch the community’s progress. Contest Rules Each verified pothole or stormwater drain report earns 1 ticket . Size doesn’t matter—every pothole counts. Credit goes to the first person to report each location. Your total number of verified finds equals your total number of tickets. All tickets will be placed into a drawing at the next OAP community event. Prizes 10 winning tickets will be drawn. Participants can win multiple prizes . Prizes include OAP sweatshirts, T‑shirts, and posters . A Grand Prize will be awarded to the participant with the most verified finds . Safety First Please be safe and responsible when exploring and photographing. Follow general safety guidelines at all times—stay aware of traffic, weather, and your surroundings. Contest Deadline The treasure hunt officially ends at midnight on April 30, 2026 . What Happens Next The OAP Roads/Parking Team will use the completed maps in partnership with Tillamook County Public Works . The County will train our volunteers in pothole analysis and repair techniques and provide materials. Our volunteers will supply the labor—another example of Oceanside neighbors working together.
