    Walk through the trails of whispering trees and enjoy the magic of this enchanted forest. Swim with salmon and bathe in the sun. This park has so many treasures to enjoy throughout the site. There is plenty of beautiful picnic areas to break bread amongst giants and enjoy the scenery. The Salmon River runs along the park and there is different areas you can enter the river some in which the current is strong others where it's calm and shallow. I fell in love with this park and I'm dreaming about the day we get to go back and visit again.

    Beautiful and peaceful! My partner and I loved all the moss and ferns and breathing the clean sweet air. Bonus points for ADA inclusive trails!

    "Have you been there?" asks our biology teacher friend as we're trundling down Hwy 26 on our way toward the mountain, pointing at one of those smallish wooden signs you always see along the road. "That's one of my favorite recreation areas!" She's led a lot of field trips here, and it has a bunch of trails, and an underground fish window in the stream, and random nature art mixed in with all that actual nature...and the next thing you know, we're definitely turning the car around. Like so many recreation areas and campsites and secret river spots, once you go there, you think: how have I never known this exists? The park is located right on the Salmon River, so if you go at the right time of year (now, for instance), you can see salmon spawning. Which, like all of nature, is kinda gross and kinda cool. There's a big walking bridge that takes you over the river and onto a series of boardwalks that go through wetlands where you can find newts, and if you explore enough, you can connect to the Pacific Crest Trail from here, too, and wonder at the remnants of some of the massive old-growth trees that they just don't grow like they used to. It's a nature smorgasbord! My teacher friend says she likes to bring students here because it's so nicely designed and well-maintained and filled with so much variety that even the kids who think nature is scary can find it accessible and cool. It is a day-use only facility (so no camping), and there are picnic tables and fire pit areas and benches and -- for better or worse -- lots of random nature art tucked in throughout the trails. So basically Disneyland's California Adventure. Except instead of plaster and chlorine, they used actual trees and water. I'm totally down with that.

    Fun place to check out. Love playing in the river . Well kept trails with historical signs along the path. Beautiful carved benches too.

    Close to Portland, one of the most fascinating walks you will ever go on. The true learning experience about the story and the life of a salmon. There is a viewing area beneath the Salmon river where you can actually see salmon spawning and growing up. There's the soothing serenading sounds of the Salmon river all around you on this walk. During the spawning season, check out when that is for the various 7-species of salmon, and bring your camera, binoculars, a picnic, paintbrush and muse. What is so very cool are the information boards telling the salmon story in a poetic flow with a river full of facts.

    Ugh. Well I was so excited after great summer camps, especially the gymnastics camps with Coach…read moreLauren and Coach Presley, to get my kids going into gymnastics classes as it was closer and more convenient than Cedar Hills. I was also excited for my daughter to do Ballet here, as she had done Daddy Daughter ballet with Mr. B here and loved it. Well let me tell you what a waste of money and time. The classes don't start or end on time. We have a class that is scheduled for 45 minutes and usually get from 30-35 minutes IN class with instruction. That's not okay. EspThere is no consistency and I called and left Ann Satterfield, the program coordinator, a message three times (including today,) and she never got back to me. The gymnastics program director is Coach Lauren and she did call me back and still the issues persist with the gymnastics classes despite her intervention. I guess summer camps and the playground here is all that GH is good for. Ann used to be at Conestoga, where I had loads of issues with horrible staff, and now that she is here it's happening. Maybe it's her that is the root of the problem because she certainly isn't part of the solution. 3 weeks later and no credit or contact from Ann or Catherine. Guess the integrity is as good as the classes here. Don't waste your time and efforts here!

    Garden Home is my community, and it's convenient to be so close to a great fitness facility that…read moreoffers a great variety of fitness programs for all ages and at great prices. My go to is the weight/cardio room, and their fitness room has everything you need to get that balanced workout. They also have dance/studios where the classes are held (I.e. Zumba, Pilates, Cardio circuit strength training, Tai Chi, aerobics, yoga). I bought the deluxe pass that gives me access to all fitness programs and drop in classes at this location and all other Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation Center locations, which includes swimming, too. They also have a locker room for day use, showering and a stretching area in the same vicinity.

    I coached 5 seasons of softball for Salmon Creek Little League. We had a very successful run in…read more2016 and our girls took 8th in WA state. Our home field is here at LJSC. The complex has 2 grass fields and 3 turf fields. Turf fields double as soccer fields and baseball diamonds, (not my favorite) The entire complex is ran by the county, so when it rains they tend to cancel games on the grass fields to quickly. Grass fields are still in great shape and play very well. Plenty of bleacher seating and it's all protected with a huge netting system above your head for safety. The complex operates a very clean concessions stand. Clean restrooms, both located dead center of the fields. Huge play structure for the younger kids not yet playing sports. 2 parking areas, but parking is still tight on game days.

    When I purchased my house nearby in 2013, this 20-acre sports park was just finished being built…read more It boasts 4 different fields - including a couple baseball fields, a soccer field, and a multi-use field. The parking is plentiful and the area is immaculate! There's picnic tables, a small playground, and restrooms. My favorite is the little wooded walking trail that I can take my dog for a walk through. Daily you can find little league teams practicing or playing games, people meeting up for impromptu games, or people just enjoying the area. One note is that it can get very busy on the weekends when several games are going on. Sometimes the parking does spill over into our neighborhood, which isn't usually a problem - people seem polite about it overall. This has been a great addition to the neighborhood and I'm glad to live so close to it!
