Our son received nothing therapeutic or healing at this riding center. As his mother, I received…read moreonly a lasting feeling of nausea and regret whenever I think about the red flags I ignored as his lessons progressed. After dealing with pediatric OT and therapy over Zoom through the pandemic I wanted so much for something like this to work for him, he sounded like the perfect candidate based on their website. I wish I had recognized the toxicity sooner and stopped it. I do not want to publish personal details about my son online, however, since I can't go back in time and warn myself, I would like to warn other parents in my place.

Bonnie, the owner, helped set up a riding lesson and found a horse that was appropriate for my level. They also continue to update the property. The new indoor arena makes for much more enjoyable rides on rainy winter days. Echo Glen is only 15 miles from downtown Portland, but it feels like you're in a whole new world.

The trail goes right over the train tracks via a beautiful (protected bridge). You will be immediately greeted by the fragrant aroma of blackberries. To the left will be peek-boo views of the lake. Take the trail down and around to the lake past other informational and historic facts. There is a TON of fruit growing and the vast group of plum trees looks like it will be very ripe very soon. There are tons of plants, trees, and birds about. The trail can be narrow and is of various terrain at various parts. There is some shade but it is spotty. All in all a great spot. Two electric chargers in the parking lot - but no shade!

This place is great! I love the nice, clean look and the fact that the workers kept it pretty tidy…read morethe whole time we were there. Some things that stand out about this place vs some of the others we've been to: - I like that your play time is individual and starts ticking when you get there. Life with toddlers can be hectic and lots of things happen that are unplanned. I hate worrying about being "on time" to get the most of our play time, which happens we we go to spaces with set group start times. - There was a good variety of toys and I think everyone can find something they will enjoy. My son's favorites were the fire station room, the drawing table, the scarf launcher and the super fast slide. - Of all the play spaces we've been to this year, this is the only one that had a bucket for toys that went in mouths. I felt bad using it so much but things were sanitized and placed back on the floor SO FAST that I hope the workers didn't mind too much. I would love to see you offer sensory play hours or hours where you only allow younger kids (3 and under) to play. My toddler was a little overwhelmed by some of the bigger and louder kids but he still had a great time.

The downsides: It is very easy to lose your kid if you aren't hovering (or you have more than one). There is only one bathroom. You cannot bring in snacks of any kind and the snacks they do have aren't very healthy nor are there many options for kids with allergies. If you are GF DF the choice is applesauce or potato chips. Considering they are so concerned about allergies they have signs to wash hands if you've eaten dairy I was a little surprised by all the junk food. It is also very very expensive. $2 for a little bag of chips, for example. I also wish they had discounts for accompanying siblings. The staff was friendly and was cleaning the space the entire time.

There's trails that lead up through the park, although the terrain in some spots can get a little bumpy. There's a bathroom. They have pavilions that you can rent. Each one has electricity and running water. There's a couple playground area with swings, slides, and other play structures. The kids loved it! There's a big, open grassy area, picnic tables, benches, and lots of shady trees. The park itself wasn't very crowded. There were a couple people walking their dogs. Yes, dogs are allowed! Overall this is a great park to visit with the family!
