Dirksen Nature Park
Under Construction(updated 1/25/22) |
In 2010, the city purchased a 48-acre property near Fowler Middle School. The property has become Tigard's second largest park and offers a mix of mature forest, wetlands, and open space. The area is home to turtles, frogs, salamanders, red-tailed hawks, owls and herons. The park is bordered by Fowler Middle School to the south, Tiedeman Avenue to the east, and Tigard Street to the north. Fanno Creek and its tributary, Summer Creek, flow through the site, which serves as an outdoor classroom for environmental education. The park was named in honor of former mayor Craig Dirksen who was a proponent for the acquisition of park land and open space.
