Opened about 1990, the 12.5-acre (51,000 m2) park is located in the middle of the city along Turner Creek near southwest 32nd Avenue between Tualatin Valley Highway and Main Street.

[2] Construction included building dams and trails along the creek, with some labor provided by an alternative school program paid for by the federal government.

[16] The natural area on the west side of the park has paved and wood chip trails leading to a boardwalk and bridge across Turner Creek.

[16] These trails run down a small canyon that separates the improved portions of the park from the creek and connect to the elementary school.

[16] The city changed the stream by building small dikes that are closed in the summertime to collect water and create pools for use by wildlife, including great blue herons.
