We drove an hour to visit Hidden Creek West Park in Hillsboro, and it was absolutely worth the…read moretrip! This park is a total gem--thoughtfully designed, beautifully shaded, and perfect for families. There are plenty of swings and a great variety of play equipment to keep kids engaged for hours. One of the things I appreciated most was the visibility--there's seating thoughtfully placed all around the park, so no matter where your child is playing, you can easily keep an eye on them. There's even a grassy area under the trees where you can lay out a blanket and relax. Even on a hot day, the metal slides stayed cool thanks to the shade, which is a rare and welcome surprise! The kids there were all friendly, and the parents seemed attentive and involved, creating a really positive, safe vibe. My kids had a blast and would've stayed much longer if I hadn't forgotten snacks--lesson learned! We'll definitely be back, this time with a picnic and more time to explore.

There is a fountain for the summer time and outdoor picnicking and grilling. Nice little trail to walk around. Across the street is 3 futbol piches and more park. The community center features indoor courts for basketball, badminton, track, and a gym. Staff is sorry nice and welcoming and the place is clean and inviting.

The grass gets pretty soggy during winter but is great when it's dry out. Tables are shaded and close to both play areas. There is a single restroom near the play area and a portapotty next to the parking lot on the other side of the park. This is a great spot to watch the air show from during the summer.

A couple years ago my kids took a Judo class at the "Rec Center" here at Griffin Oaks Park. We…read moredrove over, watched the class and turned around and drove back. We were totally oblivious (and obviously blind) that there was a cute little playground just a couple hundred feet away. After discovering the park it has quickly became my kids favorite. Lots of fun distractions for them, but their favorite part of the park by far is the zip line. They aren't quite tall enough to reach it by themselves, so Dad is the one who whips the bar to them so they can fly down and sometimes into each other. Yeah I didn't like it at first, but they like it...Daddy lets them play. The only reason that I didn't give 5 stars is that the maintenance needs to be improved. At least on the zip line which is where they play the most. One of them is really rusted and it doesn't work so well anymore. Another issue is the masking for COVID. I always have masks ready for all of us if there are others (no matter who or how many). Unfortunately it seems like not everyone does this. I encourage everyone to practice safe play and help control the spread as much as possible.

Fantastic indoor play area for kids in Hillsboro. We went early on a weekend. It was quiet when we…read morearrived. By the time we left, it was at max capacity with many waiting to get in. They have some nice amenities like a changing table, hand washing station, high chairs, and a seating area with tables. The main structure and game area are probably best for kids ages 3/4-8. My 2 year old was a little small for those but still had fun and played with the kitchen set and other toys. Seemed like they try to keep things fairly clean, but I'm sure the small toys are geeky because kids touch them constantly. No way to clean in between kids. Affordable.

Toddlers- about 1.5 to 3.5 year old are kids that in love with this place. And at this age, they still have afternoon nap. Soonest we can get there is probably near 11 /and after nap is about 4. So every time we go kids only have an hour before they close the door. They said they open for opinion but I don't think they take this for consideration. Their break hours: 12pm - 2pm is when most toddlers still active.

This park has extensive walking trails, both paved and unpaved with lots of variety in the elevation which makes for a great workout with inclines and downhills. There are tons of trees but also lots of open space so you can experience the sun and also have plenty of shade. With benches and other built-in seating (retaining walls) throughout the park, there are so many places to take a break, enjoy the sights and sounds of nature or meditate. There is also a play area for the kids as well as picnic areas and a nice wood burning fireplace, and rest rooms nearby. There are also tennis courts and parking is plentiful. On this visit we ventured off to the left of the main trail and did some serious hiking up the hill, which we surprisingly discovered backs up to a nearby neighborhood. It felt like we were truly away in the woods even though civilization is so close by! This park is a true example of why I love Oregon so much. Nature is so accessible and part of the community, not separate or hard to get to. It's magical that you can literally cross the street from your house and be surrounded by beautiful trees and wildlife.

Dog-friendly too, make sure they are on leashes tho. During some periods of the year, the park and trails get flooded so you can't walk in some areas but it's still cool to see.

Tamarack Park is one of my favorite parks in the Hillsboro area! I have a two year old and I feel…read morelike the playground area is perfect for him. For starters, this is one of the few fully fenced parks that I know of in the area and it is significantly less busy than Hidden Creek. It's also quite a bit smaller so it's easier to watch your kiddo while still letting them have the freedom to run around. There are two structures, one for 2-5 year olds and then one for bigger kids. There are no toddler swings but they do have a double swing with seats in it if your child is halfway between needing a toddler swing and using a standard swing. We typically spend about an hour here each time we visit and could easily stay longer. There are some picnic tables under a sheltered structure right next to the fenced in playground that you can do lunch at and they do have restrooms on site. The parking is street parking in a residential neighborhood and I've never had a hard time finding a spot. The entire area is clean and well kept.

I started playing Pokémon Go back when my daughter had a Pokémon Go themed party for my oldest grandson. I had no clue how to play it. I downloaded the app to participate..and the rest is history! So now, I'm trying to level up to level 50. I've performed the level 50 research tasks, and all that's left is grinding the XP! That's where Magnolia Park comes in! You can find me here many days catching Pokémon, spinning pokestops, battling the gym and leaving a pokemon, defending the gym, doing raids..but most of all, getting my exercise in by walking the routes. There are so many routes at Magnolia Park! I usually pick 4 or 5 to follow, it takes me about an hour of walking to complete. There's incline for a little more difficulty, some routes go across the street to the nearby meadow and back again. And after each route is complete, I am rewarded with XP and hopefully a Zygard cell. I'm trying to collect 200 Zygard cells to change my Zygard form. Anyways, Magnolia Park is great for picnics, there's a big covered area. On this day, there was a family celebration going on. Play areas for the kids, checkerboard tables to play checkers or chess, BYO game pieces. On this particular day we broke a temperature high of 96. Kids of all ages were enjoying the splash pad. There's a tennis court that I frequently play on. People also convert the court to play pickleball here. So much to do, I love it!

Yes, we live in Portland, but it DOES get very sunny here and very hot on some summer days. There isn't enough respite from that sun/heat. And the splash pad isn't on for all that long. What is the deal with that? What I DO love: 2 play structures, one for smaller kids, one for big kids. GREAT since there are options for smaller kiddos. I love that it has a nice big field/grassy area for kids to play soccer, or to picnic on (on a cooler day.) Do beware of the bees/hornets/wasps. The park doesn't have traps. Parking can be a bit tough, so try and make it there while school is in session so that you can park near by. There is a porta potty on site at the park, but it is NOT clean. I will either hold it, or go to the Whole Foods, in walking distance. My kids just use the potty in the trunk of the car because I won't make them use that one. NASTY! They have the makings of a 5 star park BUT: clean the porta potty, add some shade or sails over the play structure to help kids NOT fry in the heat and keep the splash pad on for far longer.
