Clackamas County gets parkland from former Gladstone principal
Well-known educators John and Marilee Wetten s gift is valued at over $523,000
Clackamas County s newest land dedicated for park purposes was donated by John and Marilee Wetten in December, on the condition that county officials use the 12.86-acre parcel of farmland in perpetuity as a park.
Per the donation agreement, the land could include a conservation system, trails area or a more developed park on May Road, between Oregon City and Canby. The Wettens bought the property in 1978 with the intention of selling it for their daughters college expenses, but they managed without selling the land.
