Century Oaks Park

Green Oasis in South Hillsboro

The magnificent oak trees at Century Oaks Park create a natural canopy over much of the space, offering welcome shade on those warm Oregon days - and they're also where the park gets its fitting name. This charming 5-acre retreat is located near Rosedale Elementary School in South Hillsboro, with a generous grassy area at its heart that's great for picnic blankets, frisbee tosses, or simply lounging with a good book.

Where Kids' Imaginations Run Wild

If you have little ones in tow, you'll find three distinct play areas with unique wooden structures that differ from typical playground equipment. These thoughtfully designed spaces incorporate elements of nature play, encouraging kids to climb, explore, and create their own adventures among structures that complement the park's natural setting.

Perfect for Outdoor Gatherings

Winding through the grounds, you can find paved trails that make this park accessible for everyone, whether you're out for a morning jog or pushing a stroller along for an afternoon walk.

Planning to make a day of it? You've got options. Grab the covered picnic shelter with its multiple tables and grill for family gatherings (a lifesaver during Oregon's unpredictable drizzles), or claim one of the picnic tables scattered beneath the majestic oaks for a more spontaneous meal.

No dedicated parking lot here - just find a spot in the surrounding neighborhood streets and follow the paths that connect this green space to the residential area. It's a true neighborhood park in every sense of the word.
