Hot day in Tigard. Found a nice picnic table under a shade tree and enjoyed take out from Hunan Pearl for my wife’s birthday. Well maintained park with mature trees and access to the Tualatin River for kayakers, etc. Well patrolled by police(saw two police cars in the two hours we were there). Bathroom was clean. A real treasure for the a City of Tigard.

We visit Cook Park frequently. Primarily to Kayak. Great place for family picnic. We also use the bike trail to ride into Tualatin. Many athletic fields, playground and tables. Located behind Tigard High School

Cook Park in Tigard is a destination park. It has ball fields, soccer fields, play grounds, access to the river and even a butterfly garden. If you are a Pokemon player there are tons of pokestops too. Lots of restrooms and places to picnic.

We visit here often. Nice venue for bike riding along the Tualatin River, walking or playing with the grandkids. Lots of playground toys, i.e., swings, jungle gym, etc., and clean restroom facilities. This venue is used for soccer and it's not unusual to find a game in full swing.
Several covered pavilian areas that can be reserved as well - go to:http://www.tigard-or.gov/community/cook_park.php

Cook' Park is one of the best places around for picnics and outdoor family gatherings. There are play structures for children,soccer fields, covered picnic areas, barbeques, even a boat ramp for someone wishing to canoe the slow-moving Tualatin River. A gem of a park!

Brought my grandson to the fest but it’s very poorly laid out! Parking was far away even with the tram ride. Late on Sunday, we came for the night glow, waiting like everyone else for the balloons, until we saw the I’m the distance thru the trees on the ballpark. Everybody got up & moved to see the balloons light up. Which was nice, but very badly organized. Charged for entrance, my daughter bought online but no one looked at it. Parking was for each day so it ended up being expensive, but the balloons were “kinda cool” as expressed by a 7yr old boy!!

We had a family get together. Perfect for this and so many others did the same. This park is above average. A little hard to find. Weather was on our side. Played a little baseball. great day.

I'm just visiting the area from PA, searched for a park nearby. I enjoyed the look out gazebo and butterfly garden. There are many runners, bikers, dog walkers using the walking paths and in speaking with them, they love the area. I was fortunate to find a bench directly watching the sunset over the soccer field. Pretty place. I did notice people didn't fully adhere to the 'no free-roaming dogs' rule, which would be detrimental if they interacted with non dog-friendly dogs or patrons.

If you like to Kayak the Tualatin river,cook park is an easy put in location. The park is actually great for picnics, has a large playground and sports fields. Even hiking trails and fishing. My wife and I like to take our kayaks upstream and back to the cook park dock. Very relaxing and may see herons,fish or even a turtle. River is calm with minimal current. Nice place to enjoy nature and free.

Do you rent kayaks? How much are they? And are we able to do kayaking today Sunday May 21,17

Cook Park does not rent kayaks themselves, but you can rent them from Tualatin Riverkeepers. The river is very calm with a slight current, so any level of paddler can enjoy them. You can Google them using 'cook park kayaks Tualatin river'
Keep driving back and left along the river until you find them. Here is the information about them. They bring the kayaks right to the river in Cook Park.
Cook Park Boat Rentals are open Memorial Day through Labor Day. Rentals begin at 9:00 am each day and all boats must be returned to the dock before 6:00 pm. Canoes and double kayaks cost $35 per boat for up to 4 hours and $10 per additional hour. Solo kayaks and SUPs rent for $25. Life jackets and paddles are included.
