Beaverton City Park — Attraction in Beaverton

The park is pretty, and most of the people were solid folk, just playing and watching their kids play. But the transients are an issue that shouldn't be ignored. At least 5 un-homed people(in of itself not a bad thing if needing a roof you pay tax on isn't your thing.) Were always trolling the fringe of the park 'spanging' for cash or loose change. Not in the "Witty signs found here." kinda way. Instead, these particular hangers on felt it more effective to go the "I'm going to make my presence here a REAL nuisance until you 'incentivise' me to go elsewhere." Kinda way. But to Beaverton PD's credit, they did have a persistent presence there and responded quickly when one of the parks other guests called the PD about some guy perving on the kids. Overall okay. But not a park I'm going to go to again if I can help it. Parks are supposed to be for relaxation, not accosting guests and soliciting...

This is a pleasant traditional city park. If it is not Saturday, there is abundant parking. Saturdays, the main parking area is reimagined as Beaverton Farmers Market.

Overall, you will find a large paved plaza with benches surrounding it, old growth evergreens (adorned with lights in December), a seasonal park restroom with drinking water (currently closed / replaced with portable toilets for COVID19), kids play equipment, and lots of green grass, even in summer. The last detail is important as most parks and schools here allow vegetation to dry up and go dormant in summer.

The park is split by a busy city thoroughfare so you'll want to watch children and pets are required to be leashed. There are some picnic tables. Unfortunately, it appears the park's concession vendor was forced to close.

There is also an adjacent library that has an auditorium with events and a large material...

This is a decent size park that's in sort of an odd spot. Not private or secluded at all, it's in the center of town in Beaverton and surrounded by business. That's to say, it's not the most peaceful place to sit but the beaver town isn't a big city at all so it's not like sitting in downtown Portland. Large grassy area good for pets, playground and swing set. And absolutely no parking. You can park in the library lot which borders the park so it's almost the same thing. Personally I like more secluded and private, woodsy feeling parks where you can't see the whole thing from one end to the other. Not much shade either. Oh yeah Beaverton and Tigard are still the most poorly designs street system I've ever seen and I'm surprised anyone ever gets anywhere with the traffic...
