Hamby Park

Hamby Park is an urban park in Hillsboro featuring nature trails along a creek, basketball courts, and open grassy areas. The grounds include both paved paths designed for accessibility and unpaved trails through wooded sections.

The park was created when the family of Chevrolet dealership owner U.J. Hamby donated the land to the city in 1986. Construction began in 1987, and the park opened to the public in 1990.

The park serves as a learning space where students from nearby Miller Education Center engage with nature through the city's adopt-a-park program. Local groups regularly use the grounds to teach about forest management and native plants.

The park has wide, level paths that work well for wheelchairs and strollers, plus easier nature routes to explore. The different pathways let you choose your route based on your ability or preference.

The park is home to lodgepole pines, blue spruces, and Pacific yews that attract uncommon bird species like Bewick's wrens and dark-eyed juncos. This forest mix creates habitat that stands out for the area.
