OUTDOOR AC TIVITIES
Sherwood is one of the most scenic
and serene settings in the Portland
Metro area. The city is rich with parks,
trails, trees, and rolling hills.
On the edge of Sherwood’s city
limits sits the
Tualatin River National
Wildlife Refuge
. Born of the com-
munity’s dream and made possible by
citizen support, the Refuge is a place
where people of all ages can experi-
ence and learn about wildlife and the
places they call home. The Refuge is
home to over 200 species of birds, over
50 species of mammals, 25 species of
reptiles and amphibians, and a wide
variety of insects, sh and plants. The
Refuge is open to the public every
day of the week, dawn to dusk, with
walking trails and well-mapped hikes
naturally woven among the beautiful
scenery.
Parks and walking trails wind their
way over the 300 acres of open space
managed by the City of Sherwood.
Stella Olsen Memorial Park’s
natural,
wooded setting is a haven for wildlife,
while open areas and covered shelter
allow for a variety of recreational uses
of this nearly 24-acre gem. The park
provides a natural setting for numer-
ous community events including
Mu-
sic on the Green
,
Movies in the Park
and theatrical productions.
Snyder
Park
is considered the centerpiece of
the city’s park system, with a walking
path, baseball elds, an arti cial turf
soccer eld and tennis courts. Sher-
wood features 10 other parks featuring
a mix of styles to enhance both passive
and active recreational opportunities.
