The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is accepting applications for the 2027 County Opportunity Grant Program (COGP), which supports county park and recreation areas that provide camping facilities.
Deadline and application process
The 2027 cycle opened August 3, 2026 and applications are due October 1, 2026. OPRD uses its online grants system. The current official page does not separately state a deadline time zone, so none is inferred.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants include Oregon counties that own the relevant property outright or hold a long-term lease of at least 20 years. County property operated by other public entities under interagency agreements may also qualify. Counties with no park system and fewer than 30,000 residents may apply for certain campground development or improvement projects at or adjacent to fairgrounds.
Funding and match
OPRD states the program typically awards approximately $800,000 annually to qualified projects. Counties with fewer than 30,000 residents must provide a 25% local match, while counties with more than 30,000 residents must provide a 50% local match. Eligible match may include local funds, agency labor or equipment, other grants and eligible donations.
Eligible activities
Eligible activities include acquisition, development, rehabilitation and planning for county camping and recreation facilities. Examples include new or expanded campgrounds, support facilities such as restrooms and utilities, ADA-related rehabilitation, trails that enhance overnight camping, feasibility studies and park master plans.
Atlas assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 62/100. The program is open, Oregon-administered and offers recurring support for county recreation infrastructure, but applicant eligibility is narrowly limited to counties and qualifying county property structures.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The verified COGP scope does not establish a healthcare, telehealth or remote physical examination use case.
