Fountain will be on during Emerald Cup

We asked the Tualatin Parks Department if they could turn off the fountain at Lake of Tualatin Commons (directly behind the pit area) during the Oregon Emerald Cup this weekend, but they can't.

And we might be happy about that.

It was explained that the park is an open use park, which means they have to keep all of the amenities open, even if a portion of the park is dedicated to a certain event - such as our race.

That being said, it might be nice for all of us in attendance at the race to have the soft spray coming off of the fountain in order to keep us all cool on a day that's predicted to be beautiful and 84 degrees.

Just a reminder, too, that this park does have electricity available to us at no charge, so bring your extension cords. There is no need for generators anticipated at the site.
