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.

Interesting place. Mostly an elevated boardwalk that runs along the creek and behind a subdivision…read more It's really admirable how the parks departments around this area make such a huge effort to create places to get some exercise, yet keep things as natural as possible. We chose to walk most of the stretch, opting to enter the subdivision at one point to make a bit of a loop of things. The area is quite peaceful, lots of birds to watch. The boardwalk itself was somewhat slippery, and unfortunately we encountered multiple piles of ignored pup poop along the way. Not somewhere I'd go out of my way to frequent, but a nice way to stretch the legs if you're in the area or live nearby.

It's not a greenway in the traditional sense; instead it is a mostly raised walkway trail through a wetland/swamp area. I have to marvel at the determination of Parks & Rec to make this beautiful area accessible to people! The trail runs behind homes, so you'll see residents hanging out or working in their yards. Makes it feel safe and part of the community. Signs indicate that bikes are allowed, but I can't say I would recommend it. Because most of the trail is raised walkways, there isn't anywhere to go if you encounter people, and the pathway isn't terribly wide. Use caution if you go through on your bike.

I've been coming to this park for years! It's a great place to take the grandkids..and an even…read morebetter place to play Pokémon Go! I started playing Pokémon Go back when my daughter had a Pokémon Go themed party for my oldest grandson. I had no clue how to play it. I downloaded the app to participate..and the rest is history! So now, I'm trying to level up to level 50. I've performed the level 50 research tasks, and all that's left is grinding the XP! That's where Magnolia Park comes in! You can find me here many days catching Pokémon, spinning pokestops, battling the gym and leaving a pokemon, defending the gym, doing raids..but most of all, getting my exercise in by walking the routes. There are so many routes at Magnolia Park! I usually pick 4 or 5 to follow, it takes me about an hour of walking to complete. There's incline for a little more difficulty, some routes go across the street to the nearby meadow and back again. And after each route is complete, I am rewarded with XP and hopefully a Zygard cell. I'm trying to collect 200 Zygard cells to change my Zygard form. Anyways, Magnolia Park is great for picnics, there's a big covered area. On this day, there was a family celebration going on. Play areas for the kids, checkerboard tables to play checkers or chess, BYO game pieces. On this particular day we broke a temperature high of 96. Kids of all ages were enjoying the splash pad. There's a tennis court that I frequently play on. People also convert the court to play pickleball here. So much to do, I love it!

Well...I can't give it 5 stars because there isn't any shade over the play structures. I do not get…read moreit. Yes, we live in Portland, but it DOES get very sunny here and very hot on some summer days. There isn't enough respite from that sun/heat. And the splash pad isn't on for all that long. What is the deal with that? What I DO love: 2 play structures, one for smaller kids, one for big kids. GREAT since there are options for smaller kiddos. I love that it has a nice big field/grassy area for kids to play soccer, or to picnic on (on a cooler day.) Do beware of the bees/hornets/wasps. The park doesn't have traps. Parking can be a bit tough, so try and make it there while school is in session so that you can park near by. There is a porta potty on site at the park, but it is NOT clean. I will either hold it, or go to the Whole Foods, in walking distance. My kids just use the potty in the trunk of the car because I won't make them use that one. NASTY! They have the makings of a 5 star park BUT: clean the porta potty, add some shade or sails over the play structure to help kids NOT fry in the heat and keep the splash pad on for far longer.

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!

There are also connecting paths to take you across the road to other parks and areas of Hillsboro.
