Hillside Park

Great place to walk! Love all the trees that provide shade as you walk, and on blind days it sounds beautiful as the wind blows through all the trees. There are even different paths if you get bored and for an old guy like me that’s great! I love variety, the only thing bad I have to say is it gets a little shady at night time here

Understand this is a DOG PARK. reviewers on here saying its good for jogging and all that. just: NO. its actually nice to walk around in, but it’s pretty small, so I wouldn’t recommend it as a running/​jogging trail. Its got a couple cool paths, but like I said, pretty small. That being said, as a place to leisurely walk with a friend and/​or your dog, or throw a frizbee around with your kid, its a nice little park.

Newly remodeled as if 2015. One star taken off for not having a kids playground. They do have classes for kids. They are working on getting a playground.

I would recommend this park for walking or jogging. Very quiet, peaceful trail. Excellent for walking your dog. There’s no playground for kids, but there is an open area for the kids to run around. The restrooms and park are always clean. Nice pleasant park to exercise at. Adjacent to the Hillside Community Center.

I love this park but can be scary alone at night. Not a lot of lighting. If you are looking for’a quite woodsy type park w the addt’ benefit of plush park grass this is def where u want to be. The nice thing for me is even though the park is tucked away there are apts surrounding

I was out walking my dog and ended up at Hillside Park. It seemed like a nice park and we walked around the trails for a little… So I decided to come back another day to jog and get some fresh air and seriously?! 1. there was a couple laying on the grass doing things that should not be done at a park. 2. i saw a homeless man peeing by the little bridge, he saw me and even said «hello» as he was doing his thing. GROSS 3. this has nothing to do with the park but i got stung by a darn bee and of course that made the whole experience a little worse! lol!!! I am new to the area and I am not sure if this a safe place to walk around?! It is a nice looking park though and my dog enjoyed the big grass area.

i walk my dog here and i guess it is a dog park. i really wish they would fence in a section so dogs could be free and frolic. large well kept grass area. this park is never too crowded and is great for running and walking

My significant other and I came here to Hillside Park yesterday to our surprise there was a plethora of people! The weekends have been quiet but on a Wednesday there were dog walkers, soccer practice for kids with their families, joggers, groups of people just out having fun and getting some sunshine.
We came prepared, we brought a big blanket, neck pillow, jackets, radio, snacks, water, frisbee, sunscreen, sunglasses, camera, etc. To tell you the truth it looked like we were going on a week long vacation we had so much stuff.
So since the kiddies were playing soccer on the main field we decided to walk up the hill and to the other side of the park where the picnic tables are and I’m so glad we did! Wow, a little bit of Oregon is what we call this park. It’s our sanctuary, our safe haven from all the crowds and smog of the city. It’s like you are in another world.
There is a trail that leads to a charming brown wooden bridge. I even saw a holly berry tree, Prickly Pear Cactus, lots of pine trees that photographed well, bright vivid green grass, Sycamore trees and so many others. It was a nice little nature walk and hike. Also, got a good work-​out with playing frisbee for almost an hour.
We had a wonderful little adventure yesterday and so glad we went! The only way to make this score one star higher is to add a bench or some chairs to the parts of the park that have none and also not close up the bathrooms so early. It’s not good to have to walk a mile away to the bathrooms and be closed out!
