This park is right on the edge of Tigard, in Tualatin, Oregon, we saw it on the map when I was going to put signs up at one of my listings. Having never even seen this park since it isn’t on a main road, it isn’t something you are going to stumble upon, I had no idea what to expect when we got there.
When we pulled in to the
parking lot, boy, we knew immediately that this park was different
and it
certainly didn’t disappoint! The City of Tualatin really made a great
park that
the kids did not want to leave. Heck I didn’t want to leave!
It has 3 full sets of
playground equipment for kids, tennis courts, basketball
court, baseball field, a dock for fishing, and is
surrounded by farms, which I
have to say I really enjoyed watching the two day old foal. All this is
surrounded by a walking/running trail for anyone to enjoy. This park
even had a
little pond in the middle that had ducks, geese, frogs (we tried to
catch one),
and even something my wife has never seen here in Oregon, a wild turtle.
My family spent over two
hours at this park and none of us really wanted to
leave, but baseball practice was calling and we had to.
The park even had
bathrooms that were very clean, so there would have been no reason to
leave
other than baseball practice. The only complaint my kids had was that
the
equipment was out in the open and not shaded by trees making some of
the
equipment very hot to the touch.
Personally, I couldn’t
find anything wrong with this park. They had drinking
fountains throughout the park for humans and dogs! So, if you are
looking for a
great place to hang with the family or even to play checkers or chess
on one of
their picnic tables with boards built in, like the New York Parks, with
a
friend, then this is the park for you.

Looks like a great park and playground. It's always good when you have a nice playground, plenty of room for romping and playing, and nature to enjoy as well =)
Fran - What a better place to entertain children... (FREE)
Steve - I agree, this park can teach a lot to other parks districts in the area.
Todd --- you make me want to visit that park --- sounds like so much fun.
Zane - I did love this park, we are planning to go back on Sunday because it was so fun!
Lisa - There was plenty of room and lots to do for everyone... I still want to catch one of those frogs though. (I need to buy a net)
Liz - Your welcome anytime!
What a nice find I bet your family will make the trip to the park again.
