Opened about 1990, the {{convert|12.5|acre|m2|adj=on}} park is located in the middle of the city along Turner Creek near southwest 32nd Avenue between Tualatin Valley Highway and Main Street. The park includes a playground, restrooms, several sports facilities, and natural areas with trails. HistoryTurner Creek Park opened about 1990 near W. L. 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] A new playground was installed in a single day by volunteers in August 2018.[15] Amenities{{multiple image| width = | footer = The west section of the park contains natural areas | image1 = Turner Creek

The {{convert|12.5|acre|adj=on}} park includes athletic facilities, wetlands, and wooded sections.[16] Features include play equipment for children, picnic areas, restrooms, and parking.[16] Sports features are two tennis courts, one soccer field, and two softball fields.[16] 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.[16] These trails run down a small canyon that separates the improved portions of the park from the creek and connect to the elementary school.[17][24] About four acres are along the creek, which was changed to meander through the area which includes ponds and islands.[16] 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.[17] Other animals at the park include garter snakes, gulls, frogs, fish, and blackbirds among others.[18] Flora include purple iris, sedges, nodding beggar-tick, knotweed, jewelweed, and Veronica.[18] References1. ^{{cite gnis| id = 2040224| name = Turner Creek Park| accessdate = 2010-03-22|entrydate=2004-05-26}} 2. ^1 {{cite
