Confirmed from Tanner Creek 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.
Public green space with courts for basketball & tennis, plus play equipment, a skate park & more.
What runners say about Tanner Creek Park
The park was lovely the picnic benches near the skate park are in disrepair. The open air workout stand was amazing. There are trails and plenty of grass for picnics. The skate park is wide, deep and steep.
Playground is packed on nice weekends. Covered picnic areas, tennis courts, basketball courts, water fountain for hot days. Skate park is not attached, but just down the street. Large field (unfenced) to let your dog run free... although not officially an off-leash area, I've never had a problem.
Two play structures for different aged kids, swings, splash pad, basketball court and pickleball court all included in this park. There is also a paved trail that connects to a near by workout area. Starbucks and Safeway nearby for adults.
This is one of the coolest parks in West Linn, and all of Clackamas County. He will always fine dog walkers are kids out playing. It's a large enough spot play soccer and football games and for people to fly their drones as well as tennis courts and playgrounds for the kids.
