Turner Creek Park, Urban park in Hillsboro, Oregon.
Turner Creek Park is a 12.5-acre municipal park in central Hillsboro, Oregon, along Turner Creek near southwest 32nd Avenue. It has a playground, restrooms, picnic areas, parking, two tennis courts, one soccer field, and two softball fields. A natural area on the west side has paved and wood-chip trails leading to a boardwalk and bridge over the creek.
The park was founded in 1990 through a federal program for alternative schools that funded the construction of dams and trails. Later in 1997, a wildflower garden was added to enhance the natural landscape.
The park functions as a neighborhood meeting point where locals gather for sports and outdoor time together. Families use the fields and trails regularly as part of their everyday routines.
The park lies along Turner Creek near southwest 32nd Avenue, between Tualatin Valley Highway and Main Street. Parking and restrooms are available on site. Paved and wood-chip trails on the west side lead down a small canyon to a boardwalk and bridge over the creek, connecting to W. L. Henry Elementary School.
The nearly 100 trees planted during construction came from a local nursery and Portland General Electric, not from residents; volunteers did the planting. After a 1992 drought killed some trees, the city asked residents for 75 live former Christmas trees to replace them.
