Henry Elementary School and southwest 32nd Avenue in the center of Hillsboro.[2] Construction included building dams and trails along the creek, with some labor provided by an alternative school program paid for by the federal government.[3] During construction the city received donation of nearly 100 trees from a local nursery and Portland General Electric, with volunteers providing the labor to plant the trees.[2] During the summer of 1992 some trees at the park died due to a drought.[4] The city sought to receive 75 live former Christmas trees in donations from local residents after Christmas in 1992 to plant at the park to replace those that died.[4] From 1993 to 1994, the city’s parks and recreation department worked with civic groups and used a grant to improve the natural areas of the park, which included consolidation of a variety of trails, plantings, and adding bird houses.[5] A wildflower garden was added in 1997.[6] Bisected by Turner Creek, the wetlands area of the park and the creek have experienced numerous sewer overflows beginning around 1995.[7][8][9] An older sewer line runs along the creek and passes through the park on its way south to the wastewater treatment plant operated by Clean Water Services at Rock Creek.[10][11] The city was fined $32,000 by the state over its clean up of spills in 2006.[11] The park played host to Heritage Christian School’s Latin Olympika games in 2003.[12] City residents rejected a bond measure in November 2008 that would have paid for improvements at Turner Creek Park among six other parks as well as a recreation center at 53rd Avenue Park.[13] As of August 2009, Turner Creek was one of only three parks in the city that had not been adopted under the parks departments adopt a park program.[14] Amenities Trail down a small canyon Bridge and dam The west section of the park contains natural areas The 12.5-acre (5.1 ha) park includes athletic facilities, wetlands, and wooded sections.[15] Features include play equipment for children, picnic areas, restrooms, and parking.[15] Sports features are two tennis courts, one soccer field, and two softball fields.[15] The natural area on the west side of the park has paved and wood chip trails leading to a boardwalk and bridge across Turner Creek.[15] These trails run down a small canyon that separates the improved portions of the park from the creek and connect to the elementary school.[16][17] About four acres are along the creek, which was changed to meander through the area which includes ponds and islands.[15] The city changed the stream by building small dikes that are closed in the summertime to collect water and create pools for use by wildlife, including Great Blue Herons.[16] Other animals at the park include garter snakes, gulls, frogs, fish, and blackbirds among others.[17] Flora include purple iris, sedges, nodding beggar-tick, knotweed, jewelweed, and Veronica.[17] References ^ "Turner Creek Park".
