Reedville Creek Park

Park Overview

Found in the Reedville neighborhood of Hillsboro, Oregon, Reedville Creek Park is a 9.6-acre green space that's been open since 2003. Situated along Cornelius Pass Road at Francis Street in the southeast part of town, this municipal park offers expansive grassy fields where you can toss a frisbee, have a picnic, or simply soak up some sun while watching the clouds drift by.

Unique Features

What really sets this park apart is its skatepark - a first for Hillsboro and still the only one in town. If you're into skating or just enjoy watching others show off their skills, this spot is a must-visit. The park attracts skaters of all ages, from beginners just learning to push off to veterans pulling off impressive tricks.

The skatepark isn't just your basic concrete slab either. It comes decked out with stairs, rails, a spine ramp, a small bowl, and a fun box - basically everything you need to challenge yourself regardless of your skating level. And when the sun goes down? No problem. The lights come on, making this an ideal evening hangout spot.

Recreational Amenities

If you're a sports enthusiast or just looking to get moving, Reedville Creek offers several options. Shoot some hoops on the basketball courts (though be prepared for those challenging double rims), serve up a game on the tennis courts (with one court conveniently marked for pickleball), kick a ball around the soccer field, or play some ball on the baseball diamond.

If you've got little ones in tow, head to the children's playground where they can climb, swing, and slide to their heart's content. The playground is particularly well-suited for smaller children and conveniently located near the covered picnic area for easy supervision. Adding to the park's natural charm, Reedville Creek meanders through the property, providing a peaceful background soundtrack of flowing water.

Visitor Facilities

The paved paths winding through the park make for pleasant walks or jogs, whether you're getting your steps in or taking your four-legged friend for a stroll (though note that there's no designated off-leash area).

Planning a get-together? The park offers picnic areas with tables scattered throughout, plus a rentable picnic shelter with cement flooring that's great for larger gatherings like family reunions or birthday celebrations.

Seasonal Considerations

You'll discover permanent restroom facilities that are typically open during the summer months (Memorial Day through Labor Day). During the cooler seasons, portable toilets are available near the parking area and tennis courts - not glamorous, but they get the job done.

Accessibility

With ample parking and 24/7 access, you can enjoy Reedville Creek Park whenever fits your schedule. Whether you're an early bird catching the morning light or prefer evening strolls, the park's well-maintained grounds and diverse amenities make it a go-to spot for families, athletes, and anyone looking to spend some quality time outdoors.
