Hidden Creek Park East

Locals in Hillsboro know this one is worth the trip — the water feature alone keeps kids occupied for hours on a warm Oregon summer day. You’ve got your classic stuff like slides, swings, and a seesaw, but the merry-go-round and sandbox give younger kids something to do while older ones hit the basketball court or soccer field. Shade trees and covered seating mean parents can actually relax instead of baking in the sun. Clean restrooms, easy parking, and picnic tables round it out, which is why you’ll see the same families here every weekend.
