Confirmed from Cook Family Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Riverside park offering various sports & picnic areas, as well as a playground & a boat ramp.
What runners say about Cook Family Park
“Wonderful park very clean lots of rides and play area for kids.”
“The butterfly garden is a peaceful sanctuary filled with vibrant colors and delicate wings dancing in the sunlight.”
Took my cat for a walk in this park (obeying leash laws of course). It's well maintained, and has some peaceful dirt paths off the main concrete thoroughfare where you can walk by the water and de-stress in a quiet, peaceful environment with not as many people.
I loved cook Park! It has a little bit of everything! Sand volleyball, playground, trails and it runs right along the Tualitin River. We were there for my kiddos soccer game and then explored along the river until we found a couple other areas to explore. You could spend all day here and still have more to do :)
It's an awesome park! It has a baseball field, soccer field, basketball court, allot is pavilions, a dock to access the Tualatin River, couple of children's playground, restrooms, tennis court and trails that lead to Tualatin Park.
Great city park with something for everyone. Love seeing then kayakers and standup paddle boarderslaunch their crafts into the tualaitn River. Also love the easily accessible butterfly garden off the main paved path. There are some non paved path connecting some areas.
