Alpenrose Dairy could become subdivision
The longtime Southwest Portland recreation site has been sold and shut down.
A nearly 200-home subdivision may soon stand in the place of the Alpenrose Dairy property in Southwest Portland.
An application filed with the city of Portland proposes to turn the 51-acre property into a 193-lot subdivision.
Alpenrose Dairy has been a cherished part of Portland s history for more than a century. It was the home of the Little League Softball World Series, as well as track racing at the Velodrome.
Smith Brothers Farms of Kent, Washington bought the dairy in 2019.
The proposed development is the latest in the ongoing saga of Alpenrose Dairy, much of which played out publicly amid a bitter lawsuit between the dairy s former owners, who sought to keep the property from being sold. A judge declined to block the sale.

Little League International president and CEO Steve Keener announced Monday there will be a World Series in South Williamsport this summer, but it will not feature any international teams. Instead, the annual event will be comprised of 16 American teams.
The decision to not have international teams came down to a number of contributing factors, Keener said. Among them was the uncertainty of international locations being able to host regional tournaments this year, as well as the inability to secure traveling Visas for the international teams which qualified.
