Nature & Trails

Wherever you are in Hillsboro, you're never far from nature, trails, and paths.

The 635-acre Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve and its four miles of trails, is just a few blocks south of Downtown. Yet, when you visit the Preserve, you feel like the city is miles away.
Rock Creek Trail meanders through the eastern side of Hillsboro, giving walkers a variety of landscapes to enjoy.
There are also completed segments of the Crescent Park Greenway (CGP) to try out. Once finished, the CPG will be more than 15 miles long.
And, don't forget to check out the nature parks — Orenco Woods and Noble Woods.

With the teen's input, this facility was built to re-create street skating. It has more of an urban terrain, with street props — re-creating an urban plaza. The park features stairs, rails, a spine ramp, a fun box, a picnic table along with the usual ramps and quarter-pipes.

Tamarack Park
