Beaverton Creek Trail Video

This project will design and develop a new 1.5-mile off-street trail connecting the Westside Trail to SW Hocken Ave through a mixed commercial and residential neighborhood in the Central Beaverton area. The multi-use trail segment — Beaverton Creek Trail, will stretch alongside the TriMet light rail corridor and Beaverton Creek. THPRD will work with several partners throughout the development process, including Metro and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The project is reviewing trail route feasibility studies, cost estimates, environmental impacts, and more. The trail will likely involve vegetation buffers to mitigate any potential impacts on the nearby Beaverton Creek. Development may be completed in phases. This project is referred to as Beaverton Creek Trail Project — Segments 3 & 4 in the THPRD Trails Functional Plan. Click here to read the Trails Functional Plan.

The new trail segment will serve community commuters and residential neighbors traveling to commercial centers. Community involvement is a vital part of our planning and design process. To that end, THPRD will continue working with community members to keep them informed about the trail’s development.

How was the trail route chosen?

As the district's service area continues to urbanize, new trails are needed to serve residents and further expand the existing and planned trail system. The Beaverton Creek Trail segment was identified as a "high priority project" in the 2016 Trails Functional Plan. Being part of the existing regional trail network, it meets the established goals for THPRD's trail system. Specifically, through continued trail development and creating more regional connections.

The route was chosen as a result of planning efforts undertaken by Washington County and Beaverton. Once completed, the route will serve to connect the residential neighbors and commuters traveling to commercial centers. THPRD is working with local jurisdictional partners, landowners to successfully connect this new trail segment to the existing trail route.


Why does it sometimes take years until THPRD can develop a trail connection?
THPRD is the largest special park district in Oregon, spanning 50 square miles and serving about 250,000 community members in and around Beaverton. THPRD makes an effort to purchase property that will connect trails when and as it becomes available. The development of certain trail connections are then prioritized based on each neighborhood’s level of need, access, and amount of time they’ve been waiting. Additional factors include any existing barriers or limitations in an area, proximity to major destinations, the number of district residents served in an area, funding and grant availability, transportation access, and more. These factors can be found on the THPRD Trails Functional Plan. Once THPRD begins planning the development of a trail connection, we are required to complete a variety of assessments, permits, community engagement processes, planning documents, and more, all of which can take several years.
