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.

It's a great place to escape suburban life and get some time in nature with the mature trees providing plenty of shade especially on hot summer days. In the fall you can experience the changing colors of the leaves and all year round you can listen to the birds chirping and the bubbling of the creek that runs throughout.

I really enjoy this park and after visiting twice this weekend, I'm reminded that I should make an…read moreeffort to visit more often and experience it in every season. 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.

Came out to visit my mom in Beaverton and brought my pup with me. There was so much for both of us to explore. After an hour, we went to head out, and I noticed there was a whole other section to the park we hadn't even gotten to! There is also an enclosed off-leash dog park here. We didn't go in there since my dog doesn't do well at dog parks, but it's great for others whose pups enjoy that sort of interaction. I will make this a space I come to see every time I'm out this way for a visit :)

Alway great to have a friend or family member walk with you for it gets so much easier as well as supporting one another. Summerlake is a beautiful park. Walk through the bridges as if you are walking through the forest and the trees are big and tall. Different trails to go on. What I like is checking out the different types of animals at Summerlake. Usually, you see lots of geese, ducks, squirrels, bird all around. See people fishing at the lake. There is a dog park and kid's playground. Bathrooms are well maintained and clean. Will be back again.

Cooper Mountain Nature Park is a great spot for getting outdoors and enjoying some fresh air. The…read moretrails are well-maintained, and we love that there are three different routes to choose from: Little Prairie Loop, Cooper Mountain Loop, and Larkspur Loop. We took about an hour and a half to complete a 3.5-mile hike with the kids, starting from the parking lot, exploring the Little Prairie Loop, and doing a full circle around the Cooper Mountain Loop. We avoided Blacktail Way since it takes a bit longer to get back to the parking lot, but it's great to have options for all hiking preferences. One of the best features is the trail maps along the way--super helpful and makes it hard to get lost. It's always a joy to step outside and enjoy nature here. There is a small playground kids can also enjoy next to the parking lot. Highly recommend!

The trail is listed as beginner friendly, but if you struggle with inclines or you're not very active, be prepared for a bit of a challenge. We completed the full 3 miles, and the views were absolutely worth it! I definitely struggled near the end because I'm athletically challenged. Overall, it was a great hike, and we'd definitely do it again!

I needed to get groceries at New Seasons, and because it was such a beautiful evening I decided to park my vehicle at New Seasons, then walk a few laps around the park to get in my 10k steps for the day. I was pleasantly surprised by how peaceful the park and surrounding neighborhood is. There were a handful of people walking around and a couple of people running. Because the park is surrounded by an established neighborhood, I really don't understand why it's so quiet. It feels like a not so hidden gem. The park itself is basically a big rectangular loop around a large grass area with beautiful trees and greenery along the outer edge. This park is probably a great place to go for those with mobility issues or those who can't do inclines because it's mostly flat.
