First hike in Oregon!…read more What we loved most was how close it is to home. 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!

What a beautiful place to hike (without your dog, however). Our six-mile perimeter hike offered…read moreforested stretches and oak canopy sections, and big, open vistas of the Tualatin Valley. Plumbed bathrooms and ample parking at the trail head are available. Consistent signage kept us in the right direction, and an easy to read map guided our hiking decisions. This place is great for tailoring hikes to your time budget. We'll be back for more.

Cute kids playground. We came because Memorial Park also has tennis and pickleball courts. Not…read morelooking closely at the map, we realized when we got here that the playground and the courts are not super close to each other. So no playing a game with the adults while watching the kids - good to know for next time.

Family-friendly | Beautifully maintained…read more I have nothing but excellent things to say about this park. When we moved five years ago to Wilsonville, one of the highlights of this town are its open spaces and how family-friendly it is. This is just one of many parks in town. It's expansive too! It is located right across the street from the library and they offer so much-- water play (Murase Plaza), structured play, event spaces, nature play, tennis courts, soccer and baseball field, skate park, nature trails, disc golf, and fishing/boat dock. It is also stunning during the fall season with the trees in orange, red, and yellow. Parks and Rec are always maintaining this place. The latest addition to the park is the natural playground, and that is where we took our toddler recently. She LOVED it. She made some friends pretending to fish in the canoe and hang out in the teepees. The sand pit is a big hit too. Whether you're a family visiting or a local, I highly recommend checking this place out.

On our way back home from McMinnville, we went through Beaverton to check out Bald Peak State…read moreScenic Viewpoint, which was a nice stop while in the area. I recommend checking out if you're around, with a viewpoint that looks out to Willamette Valley. On a Monday in the early afternoon, we stopped by Bald Peak State Scenic Viewpoint which has a lower parking lot area and on the upper area is where cars can park along the side for a quick stop. From the lower parking lot is a short walk to the upper area, where most people stop by to see the views of Oregon's wine country. There were a few picnic tables and some people had brought out their camping chairs and staked a spot to chill. It's a quiet, serene area that's high up to see the area. But if you're looking for a hiking trail, there isn't much of that here. It truly is just a viewpoint where you can stop and check out.

Took a nice picture from one of the picnic tables, but I immediately had my feet surrounded by yellow jackets! I scooted out of there, and back to the car to wait for my daughter, who took the dog down the short trail. It was a far drive (nice drive) for not much and a bee attack! Boo!

Amazing place to bird watch! We saw so many species around the multiple ponds, including a couple…read morewe rarely or have never seen and lots of goslings. Great trails crisscrossing the property, some paved some rock...some shaded some solid sun. Good amount of parking available.

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.

Very nice walk along the Willamette River. The whole trail is paved and flat so it's fine for…read morewheelchairs. The path is set behind some nice looking brick buildings that give it kind of a rustic feel. There's a platform you can go out on that is on the river, but the ramp is narrow, metal, and probably not good if you have trouble walking. There's a very small beach section, and if you continue it takes you through a short patch of forest and opens into a small clearing behind some apartments and gives a great view of the river. The only problem with this park is the Charlie S. Brown Water Sports complex is in the middle of it so in the afternoons you will often get a high school rowing team out there which can make a lot of noise. As long as that isn't happening it's a nice quiet place. In spring there are often weddings being held here too, so just a head's up it might be extra crowded sometimes but generally the trail itself is not busy aside from people just walking their dogs.

If there were no stars I would give this trail none. It is so poorly maintained and dangerous.! I…read morefell 3 times and luckily don't think I broke my ankle but I twisted it. The steps or whatever you call them were in poor condition! There were no easy parts except at the end by the street. I really thought someone would get hurt, fall further down . I guess the description of the trail did not say anything about the perils of the trail.!it is rated as easy. Totally misleading! Even my son in good shape was having trouble. And my dog too. I had to be lifted up a few times. The height of the steps was so high! West Linn is a wealthy area and they can't put money into making the hike safer and more accessible!!! Of course the mud was slippery but even if it was dry it was not good!!

I loved it so much, and used the slides, picked flowers, climbed, and just played. The nature trail is cool, though I never really walked on it. But sadly, when I went with my Nana about a month ago, she remarked that I seemed to be getting too old for it, with me being almost eleven and all.
