Big Al's - Beaverton, Oregon

We wanted at least one more visit to Big Al's before school starts again. This is one of, if not the best bowling alley that we've ever been to. All of the lanes are accessible! There's no stairs or ramp, but just an even floor. There is a huge arcade upstairs and an elevator. There's a really cool looking restaurant/sports bar inside. This place is just incredible and it's only 10 minutes from home.

Galen McBee Airport Park - McMinnville, Oregon

Once again browsing on Google Maps and we found this park. When we clicked on the link for information and spotted photos with this mushroom house we knew we just had to check it out. When we got to the park a sign with a map was completely hidden by a van that was parked where it shouldn't be. Without seeing the map we headed off down the wrong path for almost a mile before the terrain was too rocky for the wheelchair and the footplate literally fell off when the bolt backed itself completely out.

When we got back to the parking lot and discovered the sign with the map, we realized the mushroom house wasn't too much of a hike on the opposite side of the park so we proceeded with one missing footplate.

Celtic Fantasy Faire (Shute Park) - Hillsboro, Oregon

We heard about this annual event on Facebook. It consists of vendors, performers, activities and food carts, as well as lots of creatively dressed people. It wasn't exactly what we thought it would be but still fun for a couple of hours.

The park itself is nice. I mean, it is Hillsboro. So far we are really liking the parks here. Shute Park is a 13 acre park with really tall trees and nicely paved walking paths. It is located right next to the library and an aquatic center.

Apparently there used to be a really cool carved wooden statue, called Chief Kno-Tah, to honor the chief of a native Tualatin tribe. It was damaged beyond repair from a fallen tree during a windstorm in 2017. We would have loved to see it in person but we did find this photo online.

Creston Park - Portland, Oregon

A joint picnic for Catalyst Law and The Commons Law Center brought us to Creston Park. There wasn't a big turnout this year but the park was fun.

The 14 acre park includes picnic areas, play area, accessible restroom, off-leash dog area, horseshoe pit, walking paths, softball field, and tennis backboard. There's also the most shallow public pool we've ever seen. I think the deep end is under 3 feet.

Willamette Park - West Linn, Oregon

We came here to this park recently for kayaking with Shriners Recreational Therapy and Adventures Without Limits. We didn't have much of a chance to check out the park with all the fun we were having on the water. So today we headed over after school.

Willamette Park is a 15 acre park located where the Tualatin River meets the Willamette River. Amenities include 2 large picnic shelters and a smaller gazebo all with water and power, stage area, baseball field, 2 softball fields, grass volleyball court and sand volleyball court, 5 horseshoe pits, river access including boat ramp at Bernert Landing and dock system, playground, wading pool, and wildlife viewing.
