About

Cook Family Park is a community park in Tigard, Oregon, offering a straightforward neighborhood playground experience within the Portland metro area. While not a large destination park, it serves the Tigard community as a reliable free outdoor space for families with younger children.

The park features playground equipment appropriate for toddlers through early elementary age, open grassy areas for free play, and the relaxed atmosphere typical of Tigard's well-maintained parks system. Tigard parks are generally clean, safe, and unhurried — making them good choices for families who want outdoor time without crowds.

For families visiting the Portland metro area who find themselves in Tigard — whether near Washington Square Mall, the Tigard business corridor, or exploring the area's residential communities — Cook Family Park provides a convenient, free outdoor option for energetic children who need to move.

Tigard's proximity to Beaverton and the broader southwest Portland corridor means there are numerous family-friendly dining and shopping options within a short drive. The nearby Fanno Creek Trail, a multi-use path that winds through several Portland-area communities, offers additional outdoor recreation for families who want to extend their outing beyond the playground.

Cook Family Park is free, open year-round, and requires no reservations. It's best suited for families with children under 10 and works well as a quick stop or as part of a broader day exploring Tigard and the southwest Portland metro.
