It's very relaxed, mostly flat tour through some leafy areas and neighborhoods of SW Portland/Beaverton/Tigard, occasionally scenic. The section near Oleson can get pretty crowded on weekends with strolling families and their dogs, but everyone's always polite about it.

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.

Tennis court. A water ramp for kayakers/SUP. And then the nature trails! The best part of the park. You can walk next to the river and enjoy all the sights and sounds. 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.

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.

River kayak & SUP rental | great picnic spot…read more Cook park is a family friendly park. It's huge too. Many can walk around, bring their own boats/kayaks/SUP to launch off the ramp, fish on the river, or have a picnic. It's beautiful here, but it's also very popular over the summer months when folks want to use this place to launch off the ramp. Parking is hard to find. At this spot, you can rent through the Tualatin Riverkeepers. They provided life vests and the kayak of our choice. It was great paddling out on the water with my kid. We stayed pretty close by, so the water was really calm and beginner friendly. We didn't venture past the freeway underpass, we went to the right side from the boat launch. Some parts are so shallow you hit some rocks. This park also offers soccer fields and an updated inclusive family playground. Highly recommend coming here.

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.

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.
