Wilsonville Memorial Park 🇺🇸

As the largest and oldest park in Wilsonville, Oregon, Wilsonville Memorial Park offers 126 acres of sprawling green spaces, forested areas, and direct access to the Willamette River. Opened in 1969, this vibrant park features half a mile of scenic river frontage, complete with a public boat dock and Boeckman Creek flowing through to empty into the river.

You will find plenty to explore during your visit, whether you are checking out Murase Plaza—which boasts an amphitheater and dynamic water features—or taking in local history at the restored 1901 Stein Homestead Barn. Nature lovers can wander forested portions like Owl Woods, home to a great horned owl, grosbeaks, wrens, pileated woodpeckers, red-tailed hawks, and occasional bald eagles, or marvel at the city-recognized Ernest Kolbe Giant Sequoia heritage tree.

Active visitors can enjoy the city's only skatepark, athletic fields, lighted tennis courts, basketball courts, and a beach volleyball court. Complete with play equipment, picnic shelters, and a community garden, it is an ideal Pacific Northwest recreational spot.
