Tualatin City Parks: Jurgens Park

This park is right on the edge of Tigard, in Tualatin, Oregon, we saw it on the map when I was going to put signs up at one of my listings. Having never even seen this park since it isn’t on a main road, it isn’t something you are going to stumble upon, I had no idea what to expect when we got there.

When we pulled in to the parking lot, boy, we knew immediately that this park was different and it certainly didn’t disappoint! The City of Tualatin really made a great park that the kids did not want to leave. Heck I didn’t want to leave!

It has 3 full sets of playground equipment for kids, tennis courts, basketball court, baseball field, a dock for fishing, and is surrounded by farms, which I have to say I really enjoyed watching the two day old foal. All this is surrounded by a walking/running trail for anyone to enjoy. This park even had a little pond in the middle that had ducks, geese, frogs (we tried to catch one), and even something my wife has never seen here in Oregon, a wild turtle.

My family spent over two hours at this park and none of us really wanted to leave, but baseball practice was calling and we had to. The park even had bathrooms that were very clean, so there would have been no reason to leave other than baseball practice. The only complaint my kids had was that the equipment was out in the open and not shaded by trees making some of the equipment very hot to the touch.

Personally, I couldn’t find anything wrong with this park. They had drinking fountains throughout the park for humans and dogs! So, if you are looking for a great place to hang with the family or even to play checkers or chess on one of their picnic tables with boards built in, like the New York Parks, with a friend, then this is the park for you.
