City of Maywood Park

Back in the 1960s, the quiet, tree-lined neighborhood of Maywood Park faced destruction. The Oregon State Highway Department, now a part of the Oregon Department of Transportation, had plans to build a new freeway right through the middle of the neighborhood, which is bordered to the north by Northeast Prescott Street and to the east by 102nd Avenue.

In tiny Maywood Park, incumbent James S. Akers will be joined on the city council by two newcomers: Marci Marshall and Casey Hill.

Residents say Maywood Park is a nice place to live. And they aim to keep it that way.
