What a beautiful city park with views of the surrounding area. I've always been impressed by the…read morecity parks in neighboring Tualatin and Wilsonville, but Sherwood has got it going on too. Located at the top of Sunset Boulevard, this park has a very well maintained baseball field, lacrosse/soccer field with artificial turf and electronic scoreboard, tennis and basketball courts and multiple play structures. The water feature is set up like a stream, rather than a spray ground, and really the entire park was very well designed to provide a little bit of everything for the community. As a venue for watching a game, I loved the gentle slope that provided plenty of seating for parents to either set up chairs or blankets on different levels. Even though it all looks very modern, the park has a nice amount of mature trees to provide shade and a large covered structure for parties and gatherings that is essential for events 10 months out of the year. They even had a concession stand running during our visit so you could buy food and have a picnic. I kind of hope we have more games out in Sherwood.

While visiting McMinnville we stopped at a park by the library and it stated that dogs were not…read moreallowed so we looked online at the Parks and Rec website and were directed to the Riverside Dog Park. The first section had bark ground covering and a few trees and benches. I am not comfortable with my dogs walking on bark because of the possible splinter factor and it just doesn't seem as comfortable. So we walked farther on to the grassy area which was a lot nicer but it didn't have many trees and there were no benches to sit at. There were a few places for dogs to get drinks and a couple of plastic pools to take a doggie dip in. There were large trash receptacles which were a welcome sight. A lot of parking out front and a potter potty nearby if needed.

I still recommend bringing your own toys, but these make good fun for any dogs forgetting theirs. It would be awesome if it had a covered area for humans, but it does have a picnic bench and a few chairs. I highly suggest you wear clothes/shoes you don't mind getting muddy/dirty, especially in the rainy months. Our two labradoodles had a GREAT time playing with the other dogs and just running and being dogs in a large area. Highly recommended for fun-loving dogs and humans alike!

This zone is all fenced in and placed on a large hillside. It's easy to tire out your pup having them run up and down the hillside. There are lots of places for owners to sit, some shaded. Poop bags are also available along with a water station. There is a designated small dog area and a mixed dog area as well that are both open all year. Outside the dog park there is a walking trail to walk your leashed dog on as well! There are probably 50 parking spots or so available, and it's not usually too busy here. Highly recommend to all the dog parents around here!

Theoretically, there is also a free boat dock, but at the time of writing, a very large tree is fallen across it. Restrooms and garbage are maintained by Oregon State Parks. When I visited, it was pretty clean. The trail along the river is very pretty, although I was only able to access about a mile of it before it got too flooded to hike through. I noticed lots of poisonous plants including poison oak, snowberries, and hemlock. But also tons of moss, lichens, and ferns. In addition to the picnic tables in the picnic areas, there were also several solitary tables set out along the river. This is great for a more solitary picnic, taking a break during a long bike ride, or getting some privacy for drawing or Journaling. Overall just about as good as it gets for free.

They don't have any trail maps posted, however, so we weren't sure of the distance of the trails or where they went. One trail follows close to the river, and that was nice, with a mix of open sun and shaded forest. The trails were mostly flat dirt or gravel, no strenuous inclines. There's a large off-leash dog exercise area. Dogs are supposed to be on a leash in the rest of the park, but sadly most owners were just letting their dogs run the trails off-leash. They have picnic tables & a good, clean restroom facility as well.

This dog park is rundown with no maintenance. I took my beloved dog there as a change of pace and…read morewas a bit disappointed. Yes, there are 2 fenced areas for dogs. It has been mowed but obviously weed eating around the fence was an additional expense, it hasn't been done. There are holes on the fenced area that could warrant a sprained or broken ankle if you don't look. They are at least 6 inches deep and 8 to 10 inches in diameter. This park has obviously been neglected by the City of Salem and needs attention. The lake adjacent to the dog park had people fishing. The only one to catch a fish was an eagle? I question even eating a fish out of that pond. There were a few people coming out of the woods while I was there, which leads to the fact that there are still some homeless in the area. Sadly, this park is not on the city of Salem's priority list and wont be back

This park has two play areas; a larger one for big dogs and a smaller area for small dogs. Both areas have a picnic table, but no water so make sure to bring your own dog water and bowl.

There is generally a good mix of dogs here and so far we have yet to have any issues.

It's also great for biking, roller skating, or just getting outside and moving. I enjoy all the seasons here. One of my favorite things about this park is how connected it is.

Whether you're looking for exercise, wildlife, peaceful scenery, or just a place to clear your head, Minto-Brown is a fantastic park to visit.
