Director’s Message

Director’s Message The weather has warmed and the flowers are blooming, so you know that summer is just around the corner. Our staff has been working for many months to put together a wide variety of programs for you to enjoy. Whether you decide to take in a free concert at Shute Park, cheer on the Hillsboro Hops or enroll in a summer camp, there is something fun for you and your family to enjoy. Check out this all-star lineup of camps: horse, computer, arts, science, nature, aquatic, middle school adventure and elementary school Sizzling Summer Day Camp. Surely there is something here that appeals to every child.

Summer also brings the start of construction for the 44 acre Orenco Woods Nature Park. Scheduled for completion in 2017, this park will include a segment of the Rock Creek Trail, a picnic shelter, restroom, nature play area, and a network of park trails. Extensive habitat restoration will reforest the creek corridor and enhance wetlands in the park and an oak savannah habitat will be created in open areas. This open space jewel in the heart of Hillsboro will provide outstanding recreation opportunities for the entire community.

Children from Orenco Elementary collect bugs for study during the first field trip to Planning for the future is a trademark of Hillsboro’s. When Orenco Woods Nature Park. development of South Hillsboro gets underway later this year, know that we have been working for several years to plan for the parks, trails and open space needs in this new part of our city. A 45-acre community park site has already been purchased and plans are in place to work with the major developers to provide smaller parks in each neighborhood as housing is constructed.

Finally, this is my last “Director’s Message” as I will be retiring later this year. It has been my pleasure to work in a truly remarkable city with an extremely dedicated and talented parks and recreation staff and city leadership. Hillsboro understands that parks and recreation is an essential public service and one that greatly contributes to the quality of life—just one more reason that it is a great place to live, work and play.

Join Adventures Without Limits for a beautiful and exciting paddle down one of our National Wild and Scenic Rivers, the Lower Clackamas.

We put in at Milo McIver State Park and take out at Barton Park, enjoying Class II rapids and fun wave trains along the way.

Scappoose Bay is on the Multnomah Channel of the Willamette River, near the north end of Sauvie Island.

It is a beautiful, peaceful, and protected area tidally affected by the Columbia River, full of inlets and smaller waterways that are perfect for exploring by kayak. When the water levels are high, we have the opportunity to paddle through a flooded forest.

This is a perfect beginner/ intermediate paddle experience. Scappoose Bay is full of wildlife, both in the water and on land. Join Adventures Without Limits for the chance to see herons, beavers, osprey, eagles, and fish while you glide through the scenic waters.

Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve

Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve

Located minutes south of downtown Hillsboro, Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve’s 635 acres are a quiet sanctuary for both people and wildlife. Over 200 species of birds have been sighted at Jackson Bottom, including nesting Bald Eagles, Osprey and Great Blue Herons. Thousands of Northern Pintails and other waterfowl visit each winter, making Jackson Bottom a haven for bird watchers. The Preserve is home to deer, otters, beavers, and hundreds of other species.

Providing interpretive education on wetlands and wildlife, panoramic views, natural resources management, trails and recreation, Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve is a treasure for the entire region.

Wetlands Education Center

With the help of generous donations, dedicated volunteers, and the vision of the non-profit Jackson Bottom Board of Directors the Jackson Bottom Wetlands Education Center opened on September 27, 2003.

The 12,000 square-foot farm-style building blends well with its natural surroundings and a 3,000-square foot wraparound deck that connects the Center to the trails leading into the Preserve. The covered deck overlooking the Preserve is a perfect space for rentals and special events. The Wetlands Education Center includes an exhibit hall filled with interactive exhibits on wetlands and natural history, and the only bald eagle nest on display in the continental United States. The Center also has a Nature Store and a multipurpose space for programs.

Connecting with Nature

With over 25,000 people engaged in programs or visiting the Preserve annually, the Wetlands Education Center strives to create a diverse range of opportunities for people to interact and participate in the rich natural ecology of the surrounding wetlands. Community program offerings include Lunch with the Birds, Sunset & Moonrise Watch, Morning Bird Song Walks, and ongoing lectures on topics such as native plants, pollinators and soil health. Nature education programming at the Preserve includes camps and classes for all ages and abilities in tracking, wildlife watching, plant identification, crafting with natural materials, and more.

Sunset Sit & Moonrise Smile

Once a month make time in your day to relax and take in the eastern sky as the sun sets and the moon rises. Vivid colors paint the sky, the earth’s shadow rises, heralding the coming of night, and a full moon makes its dramatic entrance into the night sky. Daytime wildlife seeks shelter as nighttime creatures emerge. Join us thirty minutes before sunset, once a month, at select Hillsboro park sites. A Hillsboro Parks & Recreation naturalist is on hand to help you tune in to the many wonderful events that attend the passing of day into night. Dress comfortably for the weather. Bring a chair and something warm to drink if you like. Free. No registration required.

Multnomah Falls, the Historic Columbia River Highway, Portland’s iconic “bubbler” fountains and the Benson Hotel are just a few of the priceless public assets exemplify the dedication and generosity of Simon Benson.

He revolutionized the Northwest logging industry by pioneering steam power, logging railroads and perfecting huge seagoing log rafts. He led the movement to build good roads and was first Chair of the Oregon State Highway Commission. Local author, filmmaker and historian Sig Unander, tells how this humble, hardworking woodsman overcame daunting challenges to become Oregon’s Lumber King, then worked just as diligently to give back to his adopted state and country.

Located in the heart of Downtown Hillsboro, the Glenn and Viola Walters Cultural Arts Center is built on a site with a rich history of community involvement that began when Trinity Lutheran Church began construction of the building in 1947. Members of the parish pitched in and labored together to construct the frame of the building, donating both their goods and talents to create the church which would later become the Walters Cultural Arts Center in 2004.

The Walters is a ground-breaking facility that provides expanded opportunities for youth and adult art education and training, community access to excellent regional and national artists and speakers, and increased opportunities for local arts organizations, and professional and emerging artists. It is the first site constructed in Hillsboro with the intention of showcasing cultural events and providing community-centered education in the arts. The establishment of the Glenn & Viola Walters Cultural Arts Center and its programming has enabled the City of Hillsboro to expand and enrich the services available to its Residents and the surrounding community.

Culture & Creativity Come Together:

The Walters is home to diverse range of cultural offerings through our Concert Series, Gallery Season, and Tuesday Happenings.

Our arts education programming includes camps and classes for students all ages in ceramics, painting, drawing, theatre, music, animation, and more. The Walters is a proud showplace for the arts and a vibrant representation of Hillsboro’s commitment to culture and the arts. Creativity, culture and community—your cultural arts center has it all.

Celebrate Your Special Event:

With its classic red-stone architecture, stained glass features, custom woodwork ceiling arches, concert-quality sound system, and fine art gallery, the Walters is one of the west side’s most treasured sites for weddings, parties and other special events.

Whether you’d like an intimate family reception for 40 guests in our fine art gallery, an extravagant party for 200 in the theatre, or an outdoor reception on the lawn, the Walters provides a variety of amenable and affordable options for your special event.

For more information about events, classes and rentals at the Walters, go to www.hillsboro-oregon.gov/Walters.

Discover~ Orenco Woods Nature Park

7100 NW Birch St.

Hillsboro Parks & Recreation, in partnership with Metro, have finalized a contract for development of the park. The first part of the construction will be the installation of erosion control measures, followed by the mobilization of heavy earth moving equipment to deliver and install three bridges over Rock Creek.

Hillsboro Parks & Recreation staff will install the landscaping and irrigation systems by spring of 2017.

Continued development of the park will continue as funding allows, beginning with a smaller picnic shelter and a maintenance building.

• Nature playground • Picnic shelter • Art installation • Trails • Pedestrian bridges and overlooks • Water quality & habitat restoration • Driveway & parking lot

Discover Hillsboro Parks

Orenco Woods Nature Park is one step closer to reality, with construction beginning soon and wrapping up by the end of 2016. Thanks for your patience and support as we bring the park to life! To ensure everyone’s safety, the park will remain closed during construction.
