The Waterfront Park Bathroom Project exemplifies the spirit of the community of the Hood River and surrounding areas. Through great effort and determination, the implementation of the plan to have a park developed on “Lot 6” down by the Columbia River, came to fruition. It was a fabulous project that morphed in to an education center for those interested in Renewable Energy. The park currently makes more energy than it consumes. The North side is adorned with artwork produced by a local elementary school. The building was built with a level of structural integrity that will last for many generations to come.
