ABOUT MAYWOOD PARK

In 1926, Columbia Realty purchased the triangular plot of land on which Maywood Park stands. The parcel was later purchased by Commonwealth Inc., which made plans to create a subdivision modeled after the Laurelhurst and Eastmoreland neighborhoods of Portland.

In 1967, the residents of Maywood Park voted to incorporate as a city in an attempt to prevent Interstate 205 from cutting through the neighborhood.

Maywood Park is host to many community events including an Annual Easter Egg Hunt, 4th of July Parade & BBQ, Chili Competition & Holiday Tree Lighting.
