Dirksen Nature Park

This is a nice little oasis of quiet near busy Tigard. The trails behind the field are short and sweet. I just wish the city would get in and remove the invasive ivy and holly!

City of Tigard has done an amazing job. There's a playground, nature trails, paved paths, restrooms, fitness equipment, cricket and baseball fields, and room to throw the ball for the dog.

They really spruced this place up in recent years. The only bathroom facilities used to be a porta John by the equipment shed. Now there's a proper public restroom adjacent to a covered area with a drinking fountain and picnic tables. Also solar lamps and a playground for small children. For anybody much older than that, the real draw is the field which is suitable for sports, lounging in the sun, or letting your dog run around like a maniac. Dog owners will also enjoy access to a creek in the woods for their doggo to jump after thrown sticks into. Cyclists will enjoy nicely cultivated, relatively smooth but unpaved mountain biking trails looping through the woods with makeshift ramps here and there. Look out for fallen logs and branches however.

Beautiful park to take your family for a walk.

Easy path all the way around. Lots of wildlife.
