A combination of asphalt, woodchip and plank trails make this Nature Park both pleasant and accesible. Birds, furry critters, different natural habitats, wilflowers and little friends from the amphibian world make every walk a fun adventure. A great sanctuary in the middle of Beaverton. Great for photography and quiet walks. Well worth a visit. Plenty of parking and a nature center to help you identify plants, trees and wildlife.

I almost hate to tell anyone about this place. This is my go to for my little kids on the hot summer days. Hidden around the bottom path, by the little lake/pond, is a perfect watering hole. At the top it’s like a city fountain multi level square pools, akin to very tiny Ira Keller fountain, but it cascades down into is man-made mini waterfall going under a bridged walkway, and down further into a quaint little waterfall pond feature. All this looks out over the pond, and is just beautiful in the evening glow. The water is not deep at all, though it is very cold, but still perfect for a little kids. I fearfully say it seems to be like a hidden gem, every summer evening I’ve taken my kids there it’s been relatively uncrowded. Grant it this is usually my weekday venture, given that is so close, and we don’t have to go to downtown Portland.
