Director’s Message
Hillsboro Parks & Recreation firmly believes that parks,

recreation and culture enrich the lives of our residents
and visitors. Getting kids outdoors to connect with nature
is increasingly recognized as an essential component of
healthy childhood development. Participation in nature,
recreation, arts and cultural programs at any age supports
good health, encourages creativity, and allows our
residents to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle.
Our beautiful Oregon autumns, combined with the

multitude of different activities available in our Fall
Activities Guide, enable you to do just that. Here are just a
few ideas for you:
• Come take a nature walk and do some bird watching at

Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve.
• Bring the kids to try any of our playgrounds or enjoy one of our water fountains.
• Expand your creativity in an art class at the Walters Cultural Arts Center.
• Go for a swim or join in a workout class at the Shute Park Aquatic & Recreation Center.
• Participate in a recreational or holiday-themed special event.
• Volunteer to plant trees or help with various youth and Arts Center programs.
Hillsboro Parks & Recreation after school programs will kick off soon at most of the Hillsboro
elementary schools and all of the middle schools. We offer these vital homework help, sports
and enrichment programs with the help of various partners and sponsors, including the
Hillsboro School District, Hillsboro Schools Foundation, Washington County Commission on
Children & Families, and Tuality Healthcare.
We are always looking for volunteers and
community sponsors to help us serve even
more children, so please let us know if you’d
like to help.
Thank you to our wonderful Hillsboro

community for enabling us to make a
positive impact on the livability of our great
town. We couldn’t do it without all of you!

• Tennis courts (2)

• .63 mile pedestrian walkways
Located northeast of Henry Elementary School and south of Maple Street, 12.5 acre Turner Creek Park
is a lovely setting featuring open grassy and wooded areas, wetlands, sports fields, tennis courts and a
children’s playground. The natural area on the west side of the park offers paved and wood chip trails
leading to a boardwalk and bridge across Turner Creek. These trails run down a small canyon that
separates the improved portions of the park from the creek and provides a connection to the elementary
school. About four acres of the park are along the meandering creek, which creates ponds and islands
and healthy habitat for a variety of wildlife including Great Blue Herons.
The park was developed and opened in 1990. Since then, with financial assistance from a Metro
Greenspaces grant, volunteers, community groups and Parks & Recreation maintenance staff have
restored the woodland area with a new trail, boardwalk, native plantings, a wildflower garden and
birdhouses. Brookwood Baptist Church Student Ministries is the adopter of Turner Creek Park.
