Very cute somewhat hidden park that requires a short walk to get to. Nice playground for little ones. Huge grassy area for activities. Nice bathrooms and a big covered area with picnic tables. Seems to be a ton of trails as well. Also a couple soccer goals and a baseball diamond.

This park is definitely one of Portland's "hidden gems". Easy to access from several locations, it…read morehas a multitude of wide open trails which intersect at various points and are excellent for walking/running either with a buddy (the human or canine kind) or alone if looking for some peace and solitude. This park can confidently be used year-round as the trees provide ample shade from the heat of the sun's rays in the summer, and the type of ground cover present on the trails helps to prevent them from becoming overly muddy throughout the rainy winters. On a side note, make sure to be heads up if using the cross walk on the trail that crosses Tigard Street as the surrounding trees can sometimes make it difficult for oncoming traffic to clearly see pedestrians, so they may fail to slow down. Always better to be safe than sorry... But overall, A++ for this little piece of backyard paradise.

The park is totally treed, and clearly very popular by all neighborhood dog owners. There's a perimeter path and constant small winding offshoots. It's not big enough to get lost by any means, but just big enough to get in a nice afternoon stroll. I saw not a single piece of liter, nor a single forgotten pet deposit. You might not go out of your way to go to Hyland, as it's just a lil neighborhood park, but it's nice, natural and a very clean little slice of forest.

This is a well maintained park - it's rare to see litter or dog poo along the trails.

I'd been to Orenco Woods Park a couple of time and looking at the map, I found a parking area that didn't require me to cross any streets. I'd say this is a hidden gem. While you do walk under the power lines in places, it's a fairly flat trail that's paved and very well maintained. Walking along the creek, you could almost forget you're surrounded by businesses and houses in places. It appears to be a few connected parks along this trail. The orchards park loop seems to be a year round trail to me. Some sections farther north may be hot in the summertime, but I didn't make it up there to check. Overall, a great place to bike, walk and to take the dog. There is a section where there is a frisbee golf course. Nice Job Hillsboro.

Paved trails along with lots of green open areas and a picnic area. If you walk down to the low pier on the river and boats are passing by, be prepared to get water splashed on you from below as the waves slosh against the pier underneath you (but that feels pretty good on a warm day!).

But I love the space, how much room there is to run and play, picnic benches to enjoy lunch at a table or you can use anywhere on the vast green space to picnic. I also love that this is right across the street from Commonwealth Lake Park, if you want to venture on a walk and see some of the local wildlife, or try another playground. There is always easy and great parking and it's kept SO clean and SO lovely year round. I have 0 bad things to say about this park!!! There are no toilets except for porta potties so if you're okay with that, fear not. But if you're like me, drive the 3 minutes to Cedar Hills Rec to use a real bathroom.

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.
