Opened in 2003, the park covers 21 acres (8.5 ha) along Rock Creek in the Tanasbourne neighborhood.

[5] During the summer of 2001, students from Hillsboro’s Miller Education Center worked at the park site to improve the riparian area of Rock Creek and to gather data about the stream’s ecology.

[3] The first phase built boardwalks, trails, wildlife viewing spots, bridges, and a parking lot, and was expected to be completed in December 2002.

[11] In 2005, Hillsboro was given a $675,000 grant from Metro to extend the Rock Creek Trail from the park south to Northwest Wilkens Street.

[13] Future plans call for continuing the Rock Creek Trail all the way to Rood Bridge Park on the south side of the city.

[17] Developed items include the disc golf course, a play area, off-street parking, and restrooms.

[9][18][19] The play area next to the parking lot includes climbing boulders, swings, and spring riders.
