Reviews
Although it can get crowded on weekends — especially near the Oleson Road entrance in Garden Home — I’m a fan of this paved path through suburban Southwest Portland. You get to navigate some bridges, a few playgrounds and wooded areas and cross a waterway or two. It’s mostly flat, but still a pleasant ride for a good stretch, all the way to 217.
It's hard to believe you're less 1/2 a mile from Hall and 217 and even closer to neighborhoods and industrial parks when on this beautiful trail. Beaver dams, a dozen special of wild-flowers, ducks, and other birds are all easy to spot on this level, well-traveled, and yet somehow secluded feeling path. Bikes and pedestrians are both welcome. I enter from a warehouse complex just off Nimbus, but there are plenty of other points of egress.
Awesome green space along the creek with a bike/ped trail, lots of play structures dotting the trail, several sports facilities along the trail, Tigard Library and Garden Home Rec Center are all adjacent to this trail. It became "discovered" during the pandemic and is now busy all of the time, even in winter.
My one gripe that cost a star in my rating: Many years ago, THPRD installed a Disk Golf Course. It was an immediate hit, and the course was busy nearly all of the time. Fast forward a few years, and parts of the course began flooding. This was the result of THPRD no longer managing the beaver dam of the nearby Koll Center Wetlands Area. As a result, holes 4 and 5 quickly became permanently submerged. Several other holes are only playable in late summer.
Additionally, other walking paths are becoming unusable, including just south of Hall Blvd near 99 Ranch where they have provided a very poor and sloped narrow gravel bypass pathway that is treacherous to use, especially on a bicycle.
Now, THPRD is installing a new permanent restroom at the south end of the park. More tax-payer money to be lost to the beavers?
Please, THPRD, get your act together and maintain what we have instead of submerging our tax dollars!
