The park is…read moreimmaculate except for (the unavoidable) goose poop and, during most of the year, you'll often see park personnel maintaining the grounds consistently. We usually walk the little wooded/paved trail, then through the Willamette River path. We, typically, run into other dog owners and dog-friendly people who enjoy petting our very friendly doodle. With few exceptions, everyone adheres to the, clearly posted, on-leash rule. There are 2 doggy clean-up bag dispensers and dog-owners are extremely mindful about keeping the park super clean. The overall vibe is really pleasant and people of all ages enjoy this place - including lots of teens. If you, or someone you know, has mobility issues, there are wooden benches located on most of the walking paths. On any given day, you'll see people pausing to rest a bit or just enjoying a visit with friends. There is a sheltered structure located in the middle of the park. The surrounding tables and chairs are great for picnics and you can reserve the entire area for private parties. The rest rooms are clean for a public park which I truly appreciate.

With fantastic views of the Willamette River and the pretty houses on the other side in Oak Grove,…read moreI enjoy walking the paved paths through the lush green grass lined with beautiful trees, flowering shrubs and flowers. If you want to get closer to the water, there are boat ramps you can walk down and a pier lookout. As you meander, you will come across several sculptures and art stones that tell the history of the river. And a Veterans Memorial and a water feature for the kids to play in on hot days. Always lots of people walking their dogs. There is a lovely picnic area with several tables and chairs under a vine covered pergola. For coverage from the rain or sun, there is a large A-frame structure next to it that also has lots of tables, chairs and even a fireplace. You can reserve this area for gatherings through Lake Oswego. We came her to celebrate Mother's Day and a friends birthday, needing to be outside since the two guests of honor recently had Covid. Even though they were three weeks out, we didn't want to take chances so held our celebration here. There was plenty of space for us to be together yet separate. Lots of garbage cans everywhere making it easy to clean up afterwards. In the summer Foothills Park is part of the Concerts in the Park series which I absolutely love! The concerts attract a lot of people so we always come early to get a parking spot and claim our space on the lawn. Lots of families picnicking and kids playing. It's a wonderful way to spend a summer evening! The concerts were cancelled in 2020 & 2021 but we are looking forward to having them resume in 2020. Located just a few blocks from downtown Lake Oswego, Foothills Park is just lovely.

The path is set behind some nice looking brick buildings that give it kind of a rustic feel. There's a platform you can go out on that is on the river, but the ramp is narrow, metal, and probably not good if you have trouble walking. There's a very small beach section, and if you continue it takes you through a short patch of forest and opens into a small clearing behind some apartments and gives a great view of the river. The only problem with this park is the Charlie S. Brown Water Sports complex is in the middle of it so in the afternoons you will often get a high school rowing team out there which can make a lot of noise. As long as that isn't happening it's a nice quiet place. In spring there are often weddings being held here too, so just a head's up it might be extra crowded sometimes but generally the trail itself is not busy aside from people just walking their dogs.

It's a great place to escape suburban life and get some time in nature with the mature trees providing plenty of shade especially on hot summer days.

It's very relaxed, mostly flat tour through some leafy areas and neighborhoods of SW Portland/Beaverton/Tigard, occasionally scenic. The section near Oleson can get pretty crowded on weekends with strolling families and their dogs, but everyone's always polite about it.

If you just came here and didn't know it was a water plant you wouldn't notice anything odd. It is kind of small, just the building and a field, but there is a nice man-made stream with waterfalls on it that the ducks like to sit in. The only bad bit is you can't see the water clarifiers and basins from the park itself, they are behind locked gates and high concrete walls. This makes sense that they are not accessible to the public because you don't want strangers tampering with the water, but it would still be cool if there was a viewing platform from a distance. As it is now you can only see them by looking at Google satellite maps. But you can look in through large windows in the building and see the giant pipes they're using, so that's a pretty good compromise.

There are multiple paths that make there way around the park, some looping and some being out and back. There are also connecting paths to take you across the road to other parks and areas of Hillsboro.
