Confirmed from Hillendale 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.
Family-friendly park featuring a playground, tennis courts, baseball/softball fields and a soccer net.
What runners say about Hillendale Park
“This park is great, well maintained, and in a lovely, quiet part of Oregon City.”
“This park is great, well maintained, and in a lovely, quiet part of Oregon City.”
“They provide opportunities for all levels of play and tutors for beginners.”
It’s a great park to go to, as well as walk around and take pictures. (I highly recommend bringing a camera to this amazing place.) However, there’s one thing I found puzzling; the bathroom stalls didn’t have any doors, and there wasn’t any soap when I went to wash my hands either.
Great place to walk, play with kids, or just sit and relax while you watch the ducks walk around.
This park is great, well maintained, and in a lovely, quiet part of Oregon City. The three different play structures are older but in decent shape. Plenty of space to run in the big grassy field. Lots of benches and tables, and a covered picnic area.
My little niece and I love to come here and see the ducks. It has a wonderful trail walk around the park with a lot of duckies and squirrels to feed and befriend. She absolutely loves how there is two different parks! The bathrooms with running water also comes in handy!
