In October 1950, the Parks Bureau purchased an 87-acre (350,000 m2) tract of land featuring two small creeks and wooded areas between Vermont and Canby Streets for $120,000. The land had been bought in 1890 by a Swiss immigrant named Ulrich Gabriel, who farmed this land and operated the Pine Creek Dairy as well. In July 1995, Portland Parks & Recreation offered a 1.75-acre (7,100 m2) dog off-leash area on a six-month trial basis in Gabriel Park. The Southwest Community Center was funded by Measure 26-10 and opened in June 1999.
