Over the past two years, you
have seen me write many posts on parks in Beaverton, Oregon, and
finally I have
found Camille Park, a great park for kids! Why do I say this? It isn’t
the play
structures. There are other Beaverton parks with far better play
structures. It
isn’t the sports facilities. There are other Beaverton parks with far
better
sport facilities.
This park has pretty much
everything those other parks have. It has tennis courts, basketball
hoops, a baseball
field (if you go to the school next door), playground equipment,
wildlife, a
creek, and walking paths. But the one thing this park has that none of
the
others haven’t, besides the one at the Tualatin Hills Parks and
Recreation
department park itself, is a BATHROOM!
I
know it sounds sad that a
bathroom can make a park so good, but if you have kids, you know how
important
a bathroom can be and having it close is even better! We ended up
spending far
more time here because it was in the shade and the fact that when the
kids had
to go to the bathroom, we didn’t have to leave. I applaud Beaverton for
finally
putting a bathroom at one of its parks. Why can’t they do this for all
their
parks and make all the Beaverton parks more family friendly?

directly from your house, because if you have kids and want to get out
of the
house, this is the park that will do it and for a lot longer time than
the
other Beaverton parks!

Amazing so few parks in your area have no restrooms. A park with no restroom facilities is almost like having a restaurant with no restroom.
I never really understood the parks with no bathrooms. Sure, they think its safer because there arent any 'strangers' hiding. I get that, but at least put in a Port-a-Potty. Kids need to pee.
That is really my biggest beef with the Beaverton Parks system. My family never gets to stay as long as we want because one of the three kids has to go to the bathroom and that means we have to drive home. Once you home, you usually don't have the energy to load everyone back up to go again.
