In 1999, Hillsboro bought a 9.6-acre (39,000 m2) parcel for park to be built at Cornelius Pass Road and Francis Street.

[5] Early plans estimated the cost of the structure to total approximately $100,000 for the outdoor skatepark that was to be designed to accommodate beginner and intermediate levels of ability.

[6] The process resulted in plans for a skatepark that featured primarily street elements such as steps and rails that skateboarders would normally find in urban settings.

[6][7] The city hired Corp Inc. for $1.54 million to build Reedville Creek Park in June 2002, with construction beginning that month.

[10] Since opening the park has hosted events such as a safety fair in 2004,[11] annual skateboarding camps,[12][13] a tennis camp held by the National Junior Tennis League in 2007,[14] and a park clean-up event organized by SOLV that included removal of non-native species from Reedville Creek held in May 2008.

[16] In June 2010, the city started a 90-day trial period where people riding bicycles and scooters would be allowed to use the skatepark as well.

[6][19] Other facilities include a picnic shelter, children’s playground equipment, paths, and public restrooms.
