Bonita to Tualatin River Alignment Study – Known as the “missing link” this planning project will determine the vicinity of the future route from Bonita Road to the Tualatin River.

Connections Project - This construction project will fill four key gaps on the Fanno Creek Trail: 

• Woodard Park to Grant Avenue
• Main Street to Hall Boulevard (Reconstruction) (substantially complete as of 11/20/24)
• Tigard Public Library to Bonita Road
• 85th Avenue to the Tualatin River

Fanno Creek Trail Amenities – While the Fanno Creek Trail is being developed in segments, a cohesive look and feel for the trail in Tigard is the goal.

Scholls Ferry Road At-Grade Crossing – Tigard has partnered with several agencies to complete a conceptual design and an alternatives analysis of where the trail could cross Scholls Ferry Road at-grade. See the latest update from Clean Water Services.

Fanno Creek Overlook – This project will straighten the Fanno Creek Trail through downtown, eliminating the need for the “over and back” route over Fanno Creek, while creating a resting space along the trail that looks out over the creek itself.

DESCRIPTION
Fanno Creek Park stretches from Main Street in Downtown Tigard to Hall Boulevard and to the Tigard Public Library (see the map). There are more than 10 entrances to the park including one through the breezeway at Tigard City Hall.

From Main Street, travel south to a pedestrian bridge over Fanno Creek. Trail exits include access to Burnham Street via Ash Avenue and Tigard City Hall, and access to the Tigard Senior Center and Fanno Creek House before reaching Hall Boulevard. The park is bordered by commercial and industrial property to the northeast and west. The southwest and south are primarily residential areas.

The park is part of the Fanno Creek floodplain and mainly consists of grassy and wooded wetlands. Park improvements complement and enhance the natural environment which can be experienced from boardwalks, soft and hard trails, and bridges that transverse the creek. There is a gazebo in the field near the library for small, informal gatherings.

Public restrooms and drinking fountains can be found at the Jim Griffith Memorial Skate Park in the Tigard City Hall parking lot and at the Tigard Public Library during open hours. In some areas, the trail surface can be rough.

There is a rapid-flashing beacon (not traffic signal), at the pedestrian crossing of Hall Boulevard. Pedestrians must press a button to activate the beacons, which produce yellow flashing lights. The lights signal motorists to yield to pedestrians waiting at the curb or walking in the crosswalk.

DESCRIPTION
This trail section is divided in half by Tigard Street.

On the section from North Dakota to Tigard Street the trail travels through the Fanno Creek Greenway. There is a marked crosswalk on Tigard Street directly opposite the second half of trail. Please note, there are no benches available on this section of trail.

From Tigard Street to Tiedeman Avenue the trail travels through Dirksen Nature Park. Key features of the park visible from the trail include:

• Oak Savanna Restoration - Less than 2 percent of historic oak savanna habitat remains in the Willamette Valley. Restoring this remnant oak savanna provides an opportunity for park visitors to view this important historic landscape.
• Soft surface trails leading to park amenities like the education center and boardwalk. The boardwalk reaches into a stunning forested wetland hidden in the center of the nature park. Although the site is dry during summer months, winter brings a wet bayou-like setting where tall trees reflect in the water below.
• Fields, including softball.

At the approach to Tiedeman Avenue, the trail travels over a bridge of wood slat construction. At the end of the bridge, travel via sidewalk or bike lane approximately 400 feet to a marked crossing into Woodard Park.

DESCRIPTION
At an undercrossing at Scholls Ferry Road, trail users can connect to Greenway Park and beyond in the City of Beaverton. Traveling south from Scholls Ferry, users can experience wetland views, access to local neighborhoods, and several benches to stop for a rest. Near trail access to Ponderosa Place is an asphalt half basketball court and hoop. The trail also provides access to Englewood Park. There is a stop sign on the trail at North Dakota Street where trail users must use an existing bike lane and travel about 180 feet to a marked crosswalk.

Notable: Playground at Ironwood Loop

DESCRIPTION
This section of trail winds through beautiful Woodard Park. Known for its large oak trees and ponderosa pines, both Fanno Creek and Derry Dell Creek flow through this quiet park. The trail winds past a playground, small covered shelter and drinking fountain.

At present, trail users must follow the paved path over a wooden slat bridge to exit the park on Johnson Street. This detour will be in place until this trail section is completed. Please use caution, as there are no sidewalks or marked bike lanes on Johnson Street.

We are in the final stages of clearing a future section of the Fanno Creek Trail located between Grant Avenue and Woodard Park. This work has included clearing non-native and invasive plant species to aid in identifying sensitive natural habitat and wetland areas.
