Boardman Marina Playground

If you’re driving through Boardman on I-84, this marina playground is genuinely worth the exit. It’s set up well for young kids who need to burn some energy — open grass to run around on, and paved paths that are solid for bikes or scooters you’ve got loaded in the back. Pack a lunch because the picnic tables get real use here, and the views of the river make it easy to linger longer than you planned. It stays quiet, which is honestly half the appeal — not crowded, well-kept, and the kind of stop that makes the rest of the drive way more bearable.
