Tualatin Community Park
2 reviews for Tualatin Community Park
This is a nice hidden park right in the middle of town.
We happened to go kayaking from here today and it was a nice put in. The Tualatin river offers some nice paddling...but the river is only a step above the Williamette in terms of cleanliness it seems. No real current so its great for the beginning kayaker.

When I first moved to Tualatin in the mid 90s, this was the "scary" park in town. Old play structures (the kind where I felt the little ones might be in mortal danger) and it looked neglected. Tualatin has done a great job maintaining and modernizing all their city parks and this one gets my vote for most improved.
The play structure was replaced last year, but what makes this park special is the new bridge over the Tualatin River connecting it to Cook Park in Tigard and a vast trail system. There is some really nice bike riding now if you start at the Tualatin Park (going under the train trestle) and bike over the bridge then turn left to Cook Park. Lots of trees and a winding path that makes it better then the average ride.
A few other pluses at this 27 acre park are the cool skate park and boat launch on the Tualatin River. This park hosts Tualatin's annual Crawfish Festival in the summer, the city's Easter egg hunt and 4th of July celebrations. Now I have to take a point away because I am a sucker for a cool water feature (which this park is missing), but this park has come a long way, baby.
