Rood Bridge Park

Rood Bridge Park is an urban park stretching across about 60 acres along the north bank of the Tualatin River. It features walking trails, ponds, wooded sections, a boat launch, tennis courts, and covered picnic areas for visitors.

The park opened in 1999 after the city purchased its initial 35 acres from the Dreiling family in 1992. Additional acreage was acquired from a neighboring wastewater treatment facility to expand the space.

The River House acts as a gathering place where the community comes together for events and educational programs throughout the year. This facility serves as the social heart of the park, bringing neighbors and visitors into shared experiences.

The park is easy to access and offers facilities suitable for various activities and skill levels. Wear appropriate footwear for the trails and plan your visit according to the season and weather conditions.

The Lloyd Baron Rhododendron Garden within the grounds holds over 550 rhododendron varieties, representing one of the largest collections in the area. This specialized garden draws visitors who appreciate rare plant species.
