Pearson Metropark — Attraction in Oregon

Was not a huge surprise that bugs were swarming me while I walked the black swamp trail. Fortunately, yesterday I purchased Zevo mosquitoes and tick repellent, seemed to work great and deserved the advertising hype, time will tell. This park has minimal signage compared to the other Metroparks I have visited. Once again, glad I printed map of park before coming. a baby raccoon just crossed my path. Happy there are so many unpaved trails, way friendlier to older joints. Agree with placard about the importance of wetlands.. way to go Supreme Court being policy makers and not law upholders. Chose this park because it listed having boardwalk trails .. did finally find a very short stretch at the wetland trail. Great observation deck off wetlands trail. So delightful to sit and soak in the peace. Nice to sit and listen to the birds. Saw an Egret. May need to consider adding one more floor as plants continue to grow. Window on wildlife was a Great idea. Park is a long 1way road. Enter off S. Lallendorf rd. Kudos to your Metroparks, another large and GREAT park. Cannot imagine what staff it must take to keep all these parks in as wonderful and amazing condition as they do. Hope area residents know how fortunate they are to have so many fabulous parks in their backyard!!! Trying to hit a different park every day while my husband is working at a...

We brought our own volleyball net just so nobody thinks it belongs to the park. We also had three separate cornhole games set up so we could play tournaments. And some of the guys ended up going to another section of the park to play some pickleball. I love this new section of the park. Especially the shelter. It has a kitchen. There's a full size regular refrigerator with a dual sink and a microwave. Plus a semi large counter space where we could have four stacks of pizzas laid out side by side and room behind them for our plates and napkins and other stuff. This shelter at the section of the park at Wynn Road and Seaman Road is the bomb and my family and I will probably end up going there every single time we want to have a gathering at Pearson Park. Pearson Park you guys did a great job on the new section. I also wanted to apologize for writing so much but I had a lot to say about this new section of the park and how...

Too crowded here with no supervision, we left because these guys wanted to play filthy rap music for the whole park and children to hear. There is no dress code anywhere anymore and it's hard to find any places to go to that butt cheeks aren't hanging out, I really wish girls would respect themselves more and have consideration to those around them! I mean where is the surprise anymore and the marriage that should be? I just seem to not be able to go anywhere where people even care to tell people they can't dress this way and be in this area. I wish Pearson park would do this, Have the management come out and inspect the music and language out there. Someone needs to teach these kids if the parents don't want to their job anymore. But people don't want to work anymore either, so I guess it goes both ways. Nothing like it was when I...
