One of the wonderful things about living in Applewood Park is its close proximity to Cook Park.

MAP OF COOK PARK

Where is Cook Park? 17005 SW 92nd Avenue, Tigard, OR — Cook Park is located near Tigard High School, south of Durham Road at the end of 92nd Avenue.

Cook Park is a 79 acre park bordered on the south by the Tualatin River and has much to offer.

You’ll find a multi-use sports field that can be used for soccer, little league baseball and softball. It also offers a playground, horseshoe pits, fishing dock, small boat ramp, several walking trails, bike paths and picnic shelters containing barbeque pits and picnic tables. The picnic shelters can be reserved for special events.

Cook Park’s river location provides easy access for canoeing, kayaking, boating, fishing, and many miles of scenic waterways. There’s also a 4-acre wetland with a viewing gazebo, and a butterfly garden.

Cook Park is also host to the annual Tigard Festival of Balloons in July. Enjoy watching the balloons take off, carnival rides, festival foods and live music.

Applewood Park is also within walking distance to the Broadway Rose Theatre (CLICK HERE).   The Broadway Rose brings to the community what no other theater can – extraordinary musicals, the breadth and talent of which rival national Broadway tours.  It is situated adjacent to Tigard High School.
