Dawson Creek

Dawson Creek is a really nice park during the summer, filled with plenty of wildlife such as geese, ducks, and water voles (which are like big water rats, not beavers). However, thanks to all those animals, there is so much feces on the pathways from all the ducks and geese, which makes it pretty gross to walk around. This park is a great place for walking your dog or for sightseeing. I don't know if there is a picnic area, but if there is, then it's a great picnic spot.

Such a peaceful park for admiring waterfowl. They are pretty calm and friendly with people. Might hiss at you when you’re too close, but no harm in general. Especially in the spring time, many Canada goose families bring new life, however Cackling geese bring bird flu and death. Better not walk dogs here considering bird poop everywhere on the ground just in case.

Great park to walk around and enjoy the wildlife. Partly on Hillsboro library and First Tech credit union land. Birds are curious, water features are nice but are not 100% natural (there is circulation though), and huge Rhodie's. Park on the north side to gain access to the park paths, or enter and exit through the library. No restrooms for the park, but the library has some limited facilities to use. Sprinklers run in the evening so be careful if you want to sit and watch the sunset.

I love walking here. I am concerned about a fishing lure hanging from a tree by the lake. A bird might become caught in it. Can I bring a long pole in an attempt to remove it or is there someone there that will take care of it? Thanks.

A wonderful park. Give yourself at least an hour to fully explore as it's reasonably large when you consider walking all of the paths. Some beautiful streams and seats to sit and enjoy the peacefulness. Plenty of birds and ducks to enjoy also. Pop into the library next door to pick up a book beforehand!
