Confirmed from Kirby Billingsley Hydro 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.
Park with a boat launch, picnic tables, sports fields, swimming areas, tennis courts, and a waterfront hiking trail.

Nice park on the side of the highway. You have basketball courts, tennis courts, volleyball and some softball fields. Nice spot to walk along the river as well.
Great place for walk near river, go swimming, boating, picnic,lots of grassy space. Shade. Only thing it needs is a playground for kids in my opinion. Theres basketball court and volleyball area and softball fields..so a playground would make it 5 stars. I like stopping by park when I'm in the area.
Great place to swim. They have a wonderful swimming area. This is also a place where you can play softball on the three forleds they have. It connects to the loops trail..so you could bike there from town. Also, they have a place to reserve for parties and get togethers.
3 great very well maintained softball fields with facilities. Right off the Columbia river. Gets cold after the sun goes down so bring a jacket or sweat shirt. Gazebo and playground area. Loop trail goes from the walking bridge all the way to the playing fields.
