This is a beautiful nature preserve. It does tend to be highly trafficked. Your best bet is to go early morning as most show up after ten in the morning. The main, paved, path is wheelchair friendly. There are smaller, unpaved trails filled with tree roots and rocks but otherwise traversable. You are required to wear a mask right now, as the entire state is. Dogs are not allowed. No nature preserve allows dogs as they disrupt wildlife. Autumn foliage is beautiful here. You will hear the train and cars as the park is on the small side for a nature preserve. We pretended passing car sounds were ocean waves.

Love this place. We have been here for a hike and visit the visitor center about 5 times. We still can not believe there is such a lovely forested area with all the wildlife right off of TV Highway. The paths are all wide, well groomed and either paved, dirt or decking. Highly recommended.

Soooo many mushrooms!!! (Visited yesterday- late November) Also ran into one of the park upkeep folks and they were nice and shared a bit of info about why there were so many mushrooms in one particular area. All around an amazing experience

Nice natural Oasis in Beaverton. Ive lived in Portland all my life and this was my first time here. It was a little busy but everyone was pretty good about social distancing and wearing masks. We saw herons and yellow throat birds. Some of the dirt side trail looks are one way traffic for social distancing because those trails are much more narrow. We had a nice relaxing walk.

Crowded, which isnt as great during a pandemic, but its easy to find side paths (or to just wander aimlessly and be happy you have GPS) and the woods are really beautiful. Noise is a bit of a problem because of the bus garage and the max stop in the immediate vicinity. I have seen tons of deer early in the morning, though, so its still full of amazing wildlife. I like approaching from the max station better than the parking lot personally. The main paths are marked well and because they are paved they are accessible for a wide variety of wanderers.

One of the best nature trails in the Portland metro area. Many trails have been converted to one way, allowing for social distancing. The public restrooms are closed due to the Covid crisis. There is a lot of parking, and a lot of people use the trails. It was a little too crowded for my taste, people talking on their phones and riding bikes, but it was a Sunday afternoon. Perhaps other days would have fewer people.

Came here for an evening stroll to get some fresh air. What a gorgeous spot. Lots of different paths to take (pay attention because its a little easy to get lost). Beautiful scenery. Saw two deer up close as well as an owl. Be alert for wildlife.

Beautiful fall day to enjoy well marked trails, and we and the public very thoughtfully wore masks, kept our distance, as signs also reminded us, while walking or jogging. We saw several seniors enjoying the trail as well as younger families. We had a wonderful stretch of the legs on the Vine Maple Trail. So very fortunate to have such a large, well planned, wooded recreation area close to home!

Incredible nature getaway. Beautiful trails that are easy for all levels of hikers. Wheelchair and stroller accessable main path and fun dirt side trails.

Decent size park with tons of side walking trails, some paths were blocked off for social distancing so you werent forced to walk by others constantly and nice shaded park perfect for hots days like when i went. My boyfriend and I liked the park and had a small parking area for easy access. I would recommend going to the lily pond or lake (cant remember the name) it had a nice sitting area in the shade where you could watch ducks and wildlife and chill.

The trailers are well maintained and paved. Lots of seating along the way. Restrooms are closed right now due to covid-19. Lots of good shady parking, so my seats were not burning when I left. Very good street access. Lots of mosquitos though, so bring repellent.

Its very pretty. Lots of parking. Pretty public. Lots of children in the nature loop area. Other trails were nice

Beautiful park, shaded good for a morning walk or run

Amazing trails! Lots of beautiful greenery throughout. Saw a couple deer...that was awesome. Very relaxing visit.

Beautiful, expansive park with miles of trails and easy access from mass transit. Can be a little busy on nice days.

A great community asset, this park offers multiple trails (both paved and natural) and offers towering trees, a huge variety of ground vegetation, and multiple water features. On any given visit you can enjoy bird songs, and a variety of local residents including squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, frogs, the occasional garter snake, and other local critters. The quiet and serene walk is a free Dawn to dusk pleasure...

Amazing natural habitat. Family friendly and bikes ok. Leave the pooch at home - this is a no dogs deserve. Great photo opportunities and a fun adventure event.Keep in mind that wetlands and warm Summer days means mosquitoes! Aim for a natural repellent or just be one with the earth.

Excellent park normally, well done during the pandemic. Trails are about 50/50 one-way and two-way traffic. The main through fare is two-way with most of the side loops being one-way. Masks still recommendex, but theres space to socially distance without too much trouble.The paved path is lovely for strollers, and when you hit the dirt section worth turning around with a stroller.The center itself is currently closed (pandemic) but their programs have been awesome in the past.

The Tualatin Hills Nature Park is an excellent place to go for a hike. I have always enjoyed this park since I discovered it a few years ago. I think it’s awesome that there’s a nature park in the middle of the west side suburbs, full of busy roads. Once you have taken a hundred steps into the park, it is easy to forget where you are and just disconnect and be with nature.When COVID-19 started, I was initially nervous to go back to the nature park, as it is full of narrow trails, making it difficult to keep a safe distance from other hikers. However, when I decided to give a try, I was pleasantly surprised that THPRD has made many of the trails that are narrow, one-way. I now feel completely safe walking through the nature park, and if I suspect it to be a busy day, going through wearing a mask is more than enough comfort for me to feel safe.The only downside to note is that dogs are not allowed at the park. This of course helps preserve the beauty of the nature park, but it is definitely worth noting if you were planning on taking your dog with you on your hike.

More hiking. There is a family of deer in there( if you can find them), garder snakes, rabbits, turtles, and the usual forest critters. It can get busy on the weekends and lunch time though. Be weary if you want to have your space from people during covid times. They did make up for it by making some of the skinnier trails one way. The main paved paths are dual direction and puts you closer to other walkers. Wear a mask if we are still deel in covid19

Lovely slice of Nature in Beaverton. Beaverton did a good job with its park planning. Good trails, large trees. Places to rest or snack. One criticism: the western edge of the park doesnt connect the north trails to the south trails, so you either just have to turn around, or go out on 170th to make the loop and theres no sidewalk and barely a shoulder on that road.

It’s pretty and decent size park. Loved it.

There were quite a few people here, taking any from the isolated in nature experience, but it was lovely. Very well kept and easily accessible for those who may have mobility issues. All in all, I would highly recommend it.

Sunday morning Hike @ Runyon CanyonWhat a incredible workout this morning with a beautiful sunny view of the City of Los Angeles

Very nice but Nike security is kinda creepy and I think I was being followed on the way home

Like trip back thru the past of time lost to history and lost to all. Green thick and lush with walking and biking trails for miles a great fun and (cheap) way for a person or a family to spend an afternoon

Beautiful park! Lots of trails and great scenery.

I was disappointed with the education center which is definitely geared toward young children but with very little available for adults. The paths are well marked and pleasant - great photo opportunities. I was there on Mothers Day and it was so busy that very few birds were available, but when its quieter the wildlife is easier to spot and photograph. The greenery was wonderful and I took many pictures.

So many friendly happy families enjoy this park! Do be aware, not everyone knows its a dog free park. Sometimes people enter the park from other access points with their dogs. Sometimes they are off leash. Most of the time people are considerate. Also theres no smoking in the park for obvious reasons. This owl picture was taken at another Park but there is an active barred owl that likes to swoop down sometimes.

I love this Nature Park. It is my favorite place in Beaverton. No dogs allowed, because of the wildlife that exists in the park. Almost 6 miles of trail to walk, run and bike. Peaceful. Great for Pokemon Go a well.

Another hidden gem. This time we brought a class of third graders and they (the THPRD people) were so accommodating and had all sorts of learning stations set up. It truly was a fun and educational experience for all!

Such a lovely place to walk! No dogs allowed, but they have added signs to help direct traffic to make it safer during the pandemic. Most people were following the signs and majority were wearing masks. Will likely visit again.

This park is AWESOME, its a quiet trail with several different options & variations you can take a brisk walk, run or ride thru. The scenery of trees, ponds, creeks are tranquil. I go here at least once a week, its super convenient & even though youre in Beaverton it feels like youre nowhere near the city/suburbia.

It is a very peaceful place to go for a sunny day hike

Great paths for walking and running. Go near dusk or dawn for improved wildlife opportunities. Be careful of the boardwalks when we. Small gift / informational building.

Took the family here. Good paths. Wished the welcome center was open. Plenty of benches to take breaks if needed. We enjoyed our walk.

Saw deer. Squirrel. Nice paved paths.

Beautiful nature park. Always serene and usually not too crowded despite the popularity. Lots of wildlife and picturesque scenery to see and photograph.

Very beautiful natural space. Loved the vibe while walking through the trail system that threads through out. Google maps was always spot on with location for navigation as well.

Great nature park. Lots of trails. Great for birdwatchers.

Would be even better if people went the right way down the one way. Come on people.

Great urban oasis. Kids parents joggers bikers. All enjoying the sunny weather. Organized with narrow trails one way. Smells and views of nature right in suburbia.

Max train from downtown to the Merlo stop and you are there. Trails are really well marked. Going back to check out the lake next time.

Great place for a quick nature hike or run! In the middle of a city but you wouldnt know it once youre in the park.

Great visitors area for kids to explore various Natural Things. The trails are great but well probably have some mosquitoes. There are paved trails and more narrow gravel trails. There are picnic tables behind the building with the microscopes, books, volunteers and whatnot. A fair amount of parking and public restrooms.

Such a beautiful park with dense vegetation to make you feel immersed in a forest, but you are in the middle of a city.

My favorite nature park. Lots of trail options, easy walks or biking. No dogs allowed though.

Easy walk over considerable distance. Song birds. Well maintained. Peace at my doorstep.

Tranquil and peaceful ....a great place to escape the city and gain some clarity......trails in good condition...

Very pretty there. But the bathrooms are closed. Thats what I dont like.

Great place to walk. With covid people have been respectful and signs are posted of two way and one way traffic only to limit distance. Thanks

Very nice park. Would be better if I could bring my dogs in though.

Beautiful hike with kids. A good trail for cyclists too. Many small hikes to choose from.

Awesome little nature park tucked away in Beaverton. Easy walk and actually have seen some deer and lizards.

I continue to be very impressed with the quality of this nature park...located in a well traveled and trafficked area.

It was wonderful getting out for a hike in the woods while staying in town; it was nice and cool and out of the sun. Every thing is closed so no restrooms.There are signs indicating whether the paths are one way or two way.

It was a great time, and We enjoyed a lot. It has a very nice walking road and you can enjoy your time being there.You can exactly feel the nature and fresh air. I love it there.

Such a quiet peaceful park great for running, long strolls or short walks. Multiple trails both paved and gravel. Great bonus are the well-maintained public bathrooms & water fountains. Activity center hosts events regularly for children and adults.

I loved visiting here! What a nice place in the middle of Tualatin! Fun to walk around.

This is the best nature park considering its in-city. Lots of paths and room.

No dogs allowed and I like a ninny didnt realize that until we pulled up so we had to leave unfortunately. But it looks nice from the parking area.

Nice park to feel how it was when this area was wooded.

Its a great place to enjoy nature

This is a great place to bring the family for walking trails. We saw ducks, geese, and a nutria. There are nice paved paths, dirt paths, and boardwalks. We had a great time. Dont forget to check out the awesome kaleidoscope planter at the visitors center!

Nice place to take a relaxing stroll after a stressful day at work.

Ive always had a good experience at this nature park. Each season brings its own natural beauty. Mostly come here for walking or jogging and the quiet atmosphere immerses you. Would recommend for youth and adults.

Nice little park with nicely marked tailPretty easy to navigate.Restrooms at the entrance are the only restroomsAmple parking is available.

GOOD PLACE TO TAKE A WALK OR RUN

Easy hike which is great for a quick walk. Family friendly. Parts of the of the hike are close to the roads so you will hear cars and trucks passing by.

Even though you are walking through a relatively urban nature park, it is easy to have a peaceful natural experience. Miles of walking trails, ponds to sit by, the nature center has good amenities. Definitely worth a visit.

Super relaxing walk with my friend and daughter. We liked it so much, we are going back again!

What a beautiful park. I love the dirt trails for running. Some of the boardwalk sections get slippery in the rain if your running, which could be fixed with some grip tape (which is on some of them but not all), but its not a big complaint. If youre trying to surround yourself in nature, this park did the trick for me.

Great shady spot to hike close in on a hot day. Can be crowded though.

Great spot to escape from our paved reality without having to drive out of the metro area. No road noise, lots of moss on larger trees, and wetlands galore. I wish all paths were bike friendly, but otherwise, have no complaints!

I was concerned about mask usage on the trail, but the vast majority of people were wearing their masks and I felt like we could keep a safe distance from each other.

Always the perfect spot to get some nature in your day in the Suburbs.

Nice place to take an easy walk, most kids that like nature would love it!

Beautiful reserve of nature, love the Big Fir Trail, will be returning to see more sights

Nice place to meditate. Birds and other wildlife, lily pond, creeks... its great!

Super quiet and beautiful!! Love how well kept this park is

I have to give this place of serenity and temperary peace of mind ,two thumbs up! And a great big , WOW!!!!, I Felt like the bull in the china shop, it is that well maintained and detailed. Fabulous!! Whoever the team is who over sees this place ought to be very proud of themselves and in some fashion shown a form of appreciation and gratitude!!Nice!

Great place to walk. Paved and unpaved trails. Temporarily have one-way arrows and do not enter arrows on the trail to keep everyone moving in the same direction.

Serene. Beautiful natural. People content and courteous of one another

Favorite local park always maintained

I go here once a week for yoga with Parker. The Nature Center is clean and well lit, with friendly staff. Its wonderful to see and hear the surrounding park through the large windows while doing poses.

My son loves to run through the trails. Trails are well maintained.

Amazing woods ! 200yards in , and the only sound you will hear are the birds chirping on lichen covered branches , leaves rustling on the grounds and wind whistling on the tall Douglas fir tops !So close to the city and yet such a pristine piece of forest! Very well kept ; thanks to the Park management and the volunteers who spend the time improving the condition of the trails!The info-signs on the trails are a great and easy way to know the native flora and fauna.

Love the nature trail in very silent calm environment with loads of trees

Pretty. Nice paved and unpaved trails.

Nice park to walk or run and sometimes see wild animals.

Lots of trails and well maintained. Its a great place to walk around.

A nice park with many different plantations and animals! Its very good to walk and jog in the woods.

Really great park. Easy flat terrain, which is perfect for family outings. Many wonderful and educational events for kids. And most importantly the grounds are just beautiful.

Beautiful forested area. Very peaceful and a good place for bird watching.

Really nice place. Im hoping to get a picture of an owl next time I go.

Great place to hike & view nature. About 4-5 miles maximum depending on how many loops you take. Has an in-out accessible path for those with disabilities as well.

Beautiful park, well cared for with trails into the woods. Some are paved, some unpaved. There is a light rail station that also opens directly onto one of the trails. There are informative signs posted along the way. It feels very quiet once inside the Douglas firs and is quite peaceful.

This park is simply breathtaking. I came during the weekend on a beautiful day and even though there were plenty of cars in the lot, it was still very quiet and serene walking through here. Looking forward to returning.

Great place to enjoy a nature hike in an urban setting!

A small haven of true wilderness within the ever expanding Portland metro area. The only real drawback is that you have to leave the dogs at home, but this is part of how they keep the park safe for wildlife!As the rain starts to get more frequent, be sure to wear waterproof shoes, even if you stay on the paved trails. Nature reigns supreme here, so mud-safe clothing is encouraged September-April.
