Confirmed from Tualatin Hills Nature 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.
Hiking & biking trails along with playgrounds & sports facilities in a family-friendly public park.
What runners say about Tualatin Hills Nature Park
“Trails are well maintained and great to push a stroller on— especially on the days you need a paved or more manicure hike during the rainy season!”
“There are beautiful bridges and nice clean trails.”
“I'd totally recommend it to people of all ages to check out their trails.”
Absolutely love going for walks here. I have visited in every season over the past year and each one has something to offer. Look up at the towering trees, look down at tiny fungi, look out for wildlife. Always a fantastic adventure.
The last day of our week in Portland (10/14/25) and we came across this wonderful park. What a find! Wonderfully maintained trails. We walk the trails and before we knew it, it was 2 hours later! Not real busy for a Tuesday midday. Lovely end to our vacation.
Good photography spot. I was here at sunrise. Got lost in some shots with a bird, started walking and missed the chance to take photos of a coyote that had been just around the corner. Coyote ran off before I could get a shot. Relatively certain that the local mountain lion population use this park as a throughway.
Beautiful park, well maintained! Tried to find and capture owls, but didn't succeed, only captured a woodpecker :) It seems like the gate is always open, but an employee told me that the park is open only from sunrise. Anyways, worth to check out and have a nice walk! Enjoy some photos I took there recently :)
