I'm so glad I did! What struck me first and most about this park was how clean and well maintained it is. They have a delightful sand box with water feature that, I'm sure, will keep the kids busy all day. They also have a very unique and creative rope contraption to climb on (I don't know what the cool kids call it). And there's a skate park, basketball court, baseball diamond, and tennis court to keep everyone happy. We were there on Friday night and the tennis court was filled with folks playing Pickle Ball. So cool to see so many people outside and active on a beautiful summer evening. Finally, there's a wide, well maintained walking path along the river that is delightful. It's so awesome to find a public place like this. We all need more of this!

Many can walk around, bring their own boats/kayaks/SUP to launch off the ramp, fish on the river, or have a picnic. It's beautiful here, but it's also very popular over the summer months when folks want to use this place to launch off the ramp. Parking is hard to find. At this spot, you can rent through the Tualatin Riverkeepers. They provided life vests and the kayak of our choice. It was great paddling out on the water with my kid. We stayed pretty close by, so the water was really calm and beginner friendly. We didn't venture past the freeway underpass, we went to the right side from the boat launch. Some parts are so shallow you hit some rocks. This park also offers soccer fields and an updated inclusive family playground. Highly recommend coming here.

Originally the site of a ferry service across the Tualatin River for the pioneers in the late 1800's, this park now offers kayak rentals and a seasonal summer camp. Running parallel to the river, Brown's Ferry Park has a variety of walking trails, an open field nature reserve, and a small pond. The information signs tell the story of the area, from the type of native species you can encounter to the tale of the native Atfalati people that once lived here. Take some time for a relaxing walk through the park, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

The park is fully stocked. It has separate play structure for younger and older kids. There is a sandbox that also has a splash pad in it. The play structures are very interesting and have a verity of cool features. There are swings for older and younger kids. There is a big tube slide and a great net climbing structure. The play area has a large and small, rentable, covered picnic structure. In the lower area, there are sports fields, a structure with advanced features for teens. Tennis and wall ball, basket ball and a walking trail to the river. There are nice, clean restrooms here. The details are great here, even the picnic tables have built in chess boards. The water feature is super cool, it runs through the middle of the sand box and out of a watering trough complete with concrete pig statue. I like this park a lot. It's a non crowded hidden gem, probably because it was built in 2000, so it's still new and modern in park terms. Come check it out...

There's a long walking trail that covers the outer edge of the park, a playground area at the top of the hill for the kids, a tennis court, basketball court, and a baseball field. It's a good place to run laps, walk your dog, play ball, or unwind from a long day. Take a walk down by the creek, and read the informational signs to learn about the history of the park, the species of animals you may encounter, and how the bioswale along the southern edge of the park purifies the water and prevents trash from being washed into the waterways.

The beach area is covered with lots of trees from large trees, there is plenty of room to picnic (grills available), a snack bar, restrooms, playground and lake access. This beach is closed to everyone except those that live within the boundaries of a Lake Grove School District. Fortunately I have friends who live on the canal and I'm invited out often for boat rides and to anchor and swim in the swimming hole by this beach. Water is surprisingly warmer than I ever predict, but still a cool and refreshing 77 which feels awesome on a hot summer day. This summer, 2020, we enjoyed many pop-up concerts where the band performed on a barge. Missing all the concert and movies in the park, this was a welcomed way to enjoy summer while being socially distanced. My favorite day is July 4th when the town of Lake O lights fireworks over the lake. This is open to anyone, but obviously it's super crowded so if you plan on watching from the beach, get there super early! We watch from the boat, anchoring and tying up with other boats, and then enjoy the magnificent display of fireworks and their reflection on the water while sipping wine, enjoying snacks and great conversation. It's one of my favorite nights of the year! Sadly, the fireworks were cancelled in 2020, along with most everything, but I still spent several heavenly days and evenings on the lake.

There's plenty of parking, a patio area with picnic tables, and a small pavilion to stand outside while staying out of the weather. The park consists of a small wooded hill the parking lot is on, and a wide open field that ranges from a fence bordering River Grove Elementary, and reaching south down towards the Tualatin River. It's a peaceful quiet spot to feel in touch with nature on a nice day. Why is it only rated three stars then? Honestly, there's not a lot here. Aside from the open field, a couple of benches, and a motivational peace pole, that's it. There's no local playground or many other features that make Pilkington Park stand out from its other competitors across the city. The park doesn't even have proper bathrooms, and it feels as though the city reserved the space and started building a park, only to give up halfway with a minimalist response. While not the greatest park, it certainly is a good park, and is well worth the time to visit.

The grass was mowed and there isn't anything to hide your dog from sight, but the downside for us was that meant there wasn't anywhere for our pup to hide when she was ganged up on by bigger dogs. If your dog is comfortable with that, this is a great open area for them :)

There's also nice views of the Tualatin River and some cool bridges that you get to cross. The only downside is there's one section of "trail" that is a detour until they finish building it out - that took us on a sidewalk by a big road. But all in all, I'd definitely come back again.
