Small, but very complete and well done museum. If you have any interest in rocks and minerals at all, it’s a great place to visit. The house itself is an architectural gem. The house was the dream house the Rice’s They built the house around their hobby. Prairie style with hint of Frank Lloyd Wright and California ranch Well, worth a visit.

Small parking lot Outside Pit Toilet Satellite mobile toilets in Park Nice wooded trails Lots of ponds with ducks, egrets, heron Lots of wide open exposure areas Sometimes you see deer North Parking lot small / North entrance Spring and summer are very nice Nature center is super check hours Nature center super clean inside Great place to run, walk, birding etc East side of Park the quietest Lots of planes overhead on weekends Water station inside N.C when open. This is possibly my favorite park in the Portland Metro Area especially for the camera I have that is ideal for open exposed areas such as this fabulous park. - Even if you are not into photography and can get a hold of some binoculars you may have a better opportunity to see more wildlife than us photographers. - It is a great place to get out and walk some nice long loops and practice for those National Park Hikes next year. It is typically quiet with the occasional Cessna flying overhead or it can be loud during the Hillsboro Airshow in May outside of that it is super. There are places to sit down, under some shade, read a good book, feel the fresh breeze on your face, sip on your bev and enjoy the sound of nature. There are some places to just zone out and defuse from the complexities of life. - I have been to all the other Parks in the Portland Metro area and this one is the best, for me. CHEHALEM RIDGE NATURE PARK is super cool too but far too many runners and cyclists out there that spook the wildlife. Jackson Bottom will have hardly any runners and no cyclists or dogs allowed either with is super. - This is a great place to reconnect with family and spend some quality time in nature without distractions. - If you see unusual activity and the Nature Center is closed, like on Sunday, you can call Hillsboro Animal Control if a untethered dog is on the loose or HIllsboro Code Enforcement... - Please support this park and lets keep her clean and opporational for decades to come.

A beautiful and large park. It’s where Rock Creek meets the Tualatin River. Lots of trails both paved and unpaved, tennis court, restrooms, playground, picnic shelter and BBQs, a garden with a wading stream and, a launch ramp for kayaks at the Tualatin River. NOTE: Some trails may be flooded during winter months.

A lovely space with pleasant folks working there. We saw a great concert, and were able to charge our EV while we enjoyed the music. I hope they continue to host music. Acoustic groups would be perfect.

This park has been my local morning walk for the past several years now since it is only .5 miles away from where I live. - What does it offer? . 4 Clean and well maintained bathrooms that are open from April 1st to end of October. - A small clean Parking lot North side. A play area for children with some outdoor instruments to play with along with picnic tables. A climbing apparatus for the adventurous types, mostly kids. - A sandbox with some stone frogs etc - Some swings close the the playground. - An old historic house that has a nice history write up. - 2 Metal outdoor structures with roofs and picnic tables underneath. Great for events or solo use. - Several dirt trails that allow runners, walkers, strollers to see some foliage, get some fresh air, listen to the birds in the trees. - There is 1 small meadow and 2 larger ones where you might get lucky to see some deer, in the city, that is pretty cool. - Rock Creek meanders from the North and snakes itself through the Park so you might get lucky and see a heron, some diving ducks (in the winter). There are Nutria and Muskrats that live in the marshy area and Creek. - There are a pair of Barred Owls that live in this park and every now and then you will hear them in the early hours of the morning or early evening. - There are an abundance of Woodpeckers here especially Northern Flicker and Red Breasted Sapsuckers along with the popular Downy. In the Spring, around early March the Red Breasted Sapsuckers can be seen from the northern suspension Bridge foraging for bug larvea in the dead trees. - Spring time or just before March 21st is the time to see a lot of bird activity with all the birds building nests, laying eggs and later feeding those hungry little beaks. - Every now and then you may see Red Tailed Hawks, Cooper Hawks in the woods and the occasional Falcon or American Kestrel. - Although the Park is around 50 acres in size it yields some awesome opportunities to come out on a good day and write in your journal, read a good book, do some yoga, feel the sun on your face etc. - At the time of the Review the leaves are gold, red and amber so get out and capture before they are all gone till next season. - There are 2 Suspension Bridges across Rock Creek and Hillsboro Parks and Rec did a fabulous job putting them up. They also so a super job with the upkeep of this park. - This park is communal and shared by all so lets keep it looking great for many decades into the future.

My favorite Lebanese restaurant in beaverton. Whenever I'm near I always pick up some food to go. The hummus is fantastic and the gyros are great. Good flavors on the meat. Sorry about the picture as I was merely documenting the size of the gyro, not posing for posting on social media

this food is the best thing I’ve ever eaten since I’ve moved to Oregon. I was leaving my daughter’s doctor appointment right across the street and I saw this place and decided to check it out because I’m from the East Coast and I haven’t found a good Mexican restaurant since I’ve been here. The woman who took my order was so kind and patient and recommended the pazole. I got the pork pazole & the birria with a side of rice. they do not skimp on the food. The portions are just right. I will definitely be returning with my whole family.

ABV is a must go for anyone working in the Hillsboro Area. If you are visiting a friend out in Hillsboro I recommend coming here for lunch or dinner. The food is a very well priced for the large portions they give. I had a seasonal Irish Blarney sandwich. It was very tasty and filling. The server was also very attentive and responsive. If you are a beer lover then this place is essential if you live or work in the area. You can enjoy lots of beers on tap if you eat in. But if you are on your way out to enjoy your weekend they have a superb bottle shop with lots of options of great and diverse beers. Come in for the great selection of beers to go.

Went on a Tuesday night with friends for their live jazz and had a great time! Drinks and food were delicious and the music created a wonderful atmosphere!

Absolutely amazing experience. My fiance and I ended up procrastinating a bit too much on cake decisions, and we managed to go from no idea to a taste testing box to a decision and pick up ready to go within two weeks. Totally worth it, and we knew it would be because we've been longtime customers- since it was just Mindy at the local markets! The taste testing box was huge, reasonably and obviously priced on their menus, and the slices were generous enough for three foodies to split for thorough taste testing. We decided on two different cakes, ordered in person and drew out the concepts for the cookie decorations on top, and they were ready to pick up the morning before our wedding when we needed to leave town. The cakes were stunning, delicious, and a huge hit. Visually, they are just beautiful. The photographers and the guests agreed! Plus, knowing that we can go in and order our wedding cake any time we want is kind of wonderful. :) (photos by Hereafter Photography)
