About the Venue

Hidden Creek Park West is Hillsboro's first fully inclusive park and playground, designed to go beyond basic ADA compliance so more children can participate in play together. The park includes inclusive play elements, stable surfacing areas, fenced play, all-gender restrooms, six accessible parking spaces, water play, looping pathways, shade structures, and a large cedar 'friendly forest giant' named Oro. It works especially well for families who want a modern destination playground with room for different activity levels, plus amenities that support longer stays.
