There is a playground for little kids and a separate one for the bigger kids. Decent shade over the play structures but not fully shaded in summer so bring sunscreen. There is a large field that was mostly flat when I traversed it. Bathrooms were available and were about as good as you could expect from public restrooms. The major drawback of this place is that most of the property is sloped. Definitely doesn't make for an easy way to explore, but it's not bad if you're in good shape and don't mind going up and down sloped areas. Not the best park in this area, but also not the worst. I prefer Roy Rogers for me and my family, which is less than five minutes north, but that's just me.

I love a good all ages park…read more Midhill Park makes the most of its hilly terrain, by having areas for different groups throughout the space on terraced sections. There are two separate, but adjacent, play structures. One for toddlers and another larger area with more challenging and engaging structures for older children. And it was nice to have a restroom right by the toddler area. So many local parks that are in the heart of neighborhoods don't have facilities. A paved path that weaves throughout the space that would be great for bikes or skateboards. It does have some mild hills, so it can be a challenge or a breeze depending on your direction. And probably my favorite part, a large grassy field that is ideal for soccer, touch football or frisbee. Kudos to the park designers on this one. The only downside I observed is minimal parking.

The park is…read moreimmaculate except for (the unavoidable) goose poop and, during most of the year, you'll often see park personnel maintaining the grounds consistently. We usually walk the little wooded/paved trail, then through the Willamette River path. We, typically, run into other dog owners and dog-friendly people who enjoy petting our very friendly doodle. With few exceptions, everyone adheres to the, clearly posted, on-leash rule. There are 2 doggy clean-up bag dispensers and dog-owners are extremely mindful about keeping the park super clean. The overall vibe is really pleasant and people of all ages enjoy this place - including lots of teens. If you, or someone you know, has mobility issues, there are wooden benches located on most of the walking paths. On any given day, you'll see people pausing to rest a bit or just enjoying a visit with friends. There is a sheltered structure located in the middle of the park. The surrounding tables and chairs are great for picnics and you can reserve the entire area for private parties. The rest rooms are clean for a public park which I truly appreciate.

With fantastic views of the Willamette River and the pretty houses on the other side in Oak Grove,…read moreI enjoy walking the paved paths through the lush green grass lined with beautiful trees, flowering shrubs and flowers. If you want to get closer to the water, there are boat ramps you can walk down and a pier lookout. As you meander, you will come across several sculptures and art stones that tell the history of the river. And a Veterans Memorial and a water feature for the kids to play in on hot days. Always lots of people walking their dogs. There is a lovely picnic area with several tables and chairs under a vine covered pergola. For coverage from the rain or sun, there is a large A-frame structure next to it that also has lots of tables, chairs and even a fireplace. You can reserve this area for gatherings through Lake Oswego. We came her to celebrate Mother's Day and a friends birthday, needing to be outside since the two guests of honor recently had Covid. Even though they were three weeks out, we didn't want to take chances so held our celebration here. There was plenty of space for us to be together yet separate. Lots of garbage cans everywhere making it easy to clean up afterwards. In the summer Foothills Park is part of the Concerts in the Park series which I absolutely love! The concerts attract a lot of people so we always come early to get a parking spot and claim our space on the lawn. Lots of families picnicking and kids playing. It's a wonderful way to spend a summer evening! The concerts were cancelled in 2020 & 2021 but we are looking forward to having them resume in 2020. Located just a few blocks from downtown Lake Oswego, Foothills Park is just lovely.

There's ample space in Apple parking and if you want to take a break from the playground and there's plenty of trails that walk around the river you can make some loops and more. There's also plenty of covered areas for birthday parties barbecues, or just get together which you can reserve at the beginning of the year they fill up fast.

So many fun things to do here! Not to mention trails and a water launch spot for river activities (though the river itself is a little gnarly lol). If you're looking for fun spots for kiddos, this is definitely worth a trip! Just know it can get very busy during peak park visiting hours!

LOVELY PARK! I don't have any close up photos that exclude…read morethe kids faces that I use to nanny's....but I just love this park! It's very clean and just a walk from the playground is the water feature+splash pad which is perfect for the summer. There is enough shade, picnic tables, bathrooms, covered areas, grassy areas...it has everything. The playground part has a huge structure that looks like a barn, complete with a little "pen" that has a springy horse that seats one, in the middle (it's like a mechanic bull situation but for 10 and under ). There's a different section that is friendlier for younger kids, and a huge slide (it was closed for repairs the times we went but didn't take away with how fun it was there!) Even the water feature seems clean which can be hard to do since it's more natural cement style. I will say the ONLY downside is that it can be a little more slippery because of the materials...just make sure your kiddos actually listen when you say "no running" or they might bang up their knees! Never have an issue with parking or finding an area to set up a blanket.

Plenty of space for dogs to explore on their own or run and play & meet other dogs. Because it is un-fenced, the visiting dogs are mostly well-trained on recall and mild-tempered around other dogs. The second area is across the other side of the upper parking lot, down a trail that leads to the water along the beach. It is a bit rocky and might be mushy during the wet season, but offers an expansive beautiful nature spot for dogs, kids, and grown ups to explore.

The paved paths aren't long, but wander around the school fields and the park, turning into a raised plastic-ish walking surface. That surface was funny, it's filled with holes and as you walk if the ground underneath is wet enough it squirts up your legs with each step. Slightly entertaining ...yet slightly annoying as I ended up a tad messy. No biggie though, winding paths and trails are always greatly appreciated. The parking lot is small but there's some street parking nearby too.

Green Tree Park has recently had a fantastic makeover, that is if your kids are 5 and under…read more The new structure has so many things to keep tykes interested, and it's low to the ground, so you don't have to worry so much about falls. The structure has slides, climbing walls, steps, a tunnel, drums, bells, and puzzles. There's a sea horse for riding, toddler swings, and a sand pit. The sand pit has toy buckets, trucks, and digging tools, plus a mechanical excavator you sit on and control levers to move the boom bucket and dig. There is a picnic table, open grassy areas, and a basketball court. The main con I see with Green Tree Park, is that it's on a corner lot surrounded by 3 streets, so you need to stick close to your little ones to keep them out of the road.
