Orchard Park, Urban park in Hillsboro, United States
Orchard Park is a 21-acre municipal nature park along Rock Creek in the Tanasbourne area of Hillsboro, Oregon. It has 3,000 feet of paved trails, 700 feet of boardwalk, several bridges and three wildlife overlooks, plus a nine-hole disc golf course, a play area with climbing boulders, swings and spring riders, parking and restrooms. Trails loop through wetlands, meadows and woods.
The park opened in 2003 to serve Hillsboro's growing population with modern recreational spaces. This was part of the city's effort to provide more public areas for its expanding community.
The park hosts regular neighborhood gatherings and celebrations where residents meet for games and community activities. Open spaces here are used throughout the year for local events and group activities.
The site has multiple entry points and dedicated parking spaces for easy access from the street. Connections to local walking and biking paths make it convenient to explore the area on foot or by bicycle.
The park's nine-hole disc golf course, built in 2005 for $12,000, was the first in any Hillsboro park; the city's parks department has offered free classes there to teach the game. The course runs 2,000 feet (610 m).
