Past Projects

The City received a grant from the Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation in which the DBG used to add a piece of play equipment and a permanent restroom at Donald's Hometown Park.

The DBG worked alongside the Donald Planning Commission/Tree Board to get Donald officially added to the Tree City USA list.

In 2021 the DBG presented to the City Council newly designed "Welcome to Donald" signs. . Thank you to GK Machine for the donation of design hours and materials.

In 2017 the DBG conducted a survey as part of an effort to develop a Community Beautification Plan. The results of that survey were used to help determine the best approach for improving and beautifying the downtown area.

Since 2017 the City has teamed with the DBG in hosting city-wide clean-up and recycling events. This City provides dumpsters and recycling options which gives the residents of Donald an opportunity to cleanup their property.

The DBG held two community meetings for the Downtown Sidewalk Program for City and County Staff to collaborate with property owners on sidewalk design.
