 Summerlake Park is located right off of Scholls Ferry Road in Tigard at 11450 SW Winterlake Drive. There are so many exciting things about this park which make it the perfect place to spend your day all year round! There two playgrounds, one a little bit rustic with a sand pit area, and other one painted bright green with lots of fun climbing for kids of all ages.  A small, man-made lake that is an easy lunch-time walk for families, or parents just wanting to take a break from the office. There is also a dog park, tennis court, baseball diamond, basketball court dog park and a rhododendron garden managed by volunteers.
 This little park is tucked away in the Cedar Hills neighborhood (technically Portland, but practically speaking: Beaverton) and can be accessed off of SW Foothills Dr. near the Cedar Hills Recreation Center. This park is also directly adjacent to Foothills Park. The area for the park was originally marshland with runoff from Johnson Creek, but was dredged by a developer in in 1965 to create an attractive neighborhood for the newly minted residents of the Cedar Hills neighborhood. The park was turned over to the Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation District in 1969 and has been maintained by them ever since.
 On the day we went, there were several families fishing on the piers. This fisherman, Seth, caught a nice size koi which he then gently released back into the pond with his son. The lake is also stocked with bass and rainbow trout, which are quite tasty.
 Cooper Mountain Nature Park is located in Beaverton (sometimes listed as Aloha), Oregon and is open from sunrise to sundown, year round. This park features a playground, classes, and several miles of trails. If one is very lucky, they can hear coyotes, woodpeckers and other woodland creatures that inhabit this 230 acre park. The park is located at: 18892 SW Kemmer Road, Beaverton.    |
