George Foege Park

If you want to go to the most peaceful park in Portland, go to George Foege Park! However, I don’t know if the actual playground is in Portland or Beaverton? The Foege Park trail starts in Portland according to Map My Run, and the playground is in the Cedar Hill area. Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation doesn’t even show that the playground exists, but it does! If you end up driving to George Foege playground, you will need to park either on NW Leahy (which one side of the street is almost completely marked with no parking signs) or 112th Ave. I suggest turning east on Leahy from Cedar Hills Blvd., and then turn right on 112th Ave., and park up the hill. You should see a beautiful wooden bridge, and once you cross the bridge, you will immediately see the playground. It is small, but the trees and the grassy area are stunning. It is like a tucked away private park. It won’t entertain older kids for long, but it is perfect for a peaceful time running in the grass or if you have young pre-school or early elementary children. It is primarily fenced in, but does have a walk way from Cedar Hills Blvd. (So be careful on the one side that kids don’t get close to Cedar Hills Blvd! That is a busy street. That is why there is a bridge to get to the park.) Overall, there isn’t much else to say except the presence and awe of this park seems worth checking out. We will definitely return when I am in need of a quiet day. So relax, and enjoy Playing in Portland.
