Midhill Park

RESTROOMS CLOSED FOR THE WINTER SEASON

A full 7 acres, this nature oriented park offers picnic tables, play structure, natural paths and trails, plus an open turf area.

Mary S. Young Park

Mary S. Young Park offers you a peaceful place to walk or sit by the Willamette River. About 128 acres, this quiet, forested park is a favorite for urban birders. As you walk deeper into the forest on the numerous trails (5-8 miles worth), it’s easy to forget you’re in a city.

It's a quick but refreshing stop if you don't have time for a drive to the country. Plenty of room for kids to play on the sports fields, a restroom, shelter (that can be reserved), and an area for dogs to run unleashed.

Parks Maintenance

The goal of Park Maintenance and Operations is to provide safe and attractive facilities for our citizens and visitors to use and enjoy. Through the efforts of a well-planned maintenance program, we are able to provide these services effectively and efficiently.

Our maintenance schedules and procedures are based on the standards and frequencies our citizens have come to expect, and are the result of years of developing a maintenance management system specific to West Linn parks and facilities. A recent citizen satisfaction survey ranked park maintenance very high.
