Welcome to Ewing Young Park, one of Chehalem Park and Recreation District’s 22 parks open to your enjoyment.

Ewing Young is one of the most fascinating figures in the history of west.

Jaquith Park is named for Walter Jaquith, a Newberg minister, and one of five original board members of the district when it was founded in June 1965.

Jaquith’s work to help create new parks had actually begun in 1963.

At that time, he led a group of local civic leaders in a series of meetings to discuss how best to serve the growing recreational needs of the city.

Crater Park was dedicated in 1999. It honors the extraordinary life of Antonia Crater, who passed away in December 1993 at age 95, and who was one of the original organizers of Chehalem Park and Recreation District.

Born in Germany, Antonia moved to the United States with her family in 1903.

This lovely, secluded park in Dundee is ideal for outdoor gatherings in our reservable shelter; this location is popular for weddings and large family picnics. There are portable restrooms located on site, but please be aware there is no drinking water available in this park. So bring a water bottle and enjoy the Green Thumb Nature Trail, the pond, and the footbridge over Hess Creek. Hear a gunshot? Yes, you probably did; there is a shooting range adjacent to the park, which is not affiliated with CPRD. 

CPRD's largest and most secluded nature park is near the top of Parrett Mountain and is part of the District's 325-acre parcel of farmland and scenic forest between Newberg, Sherwood, and Wilsonville. There are approximately 12 miles total of both loop and out-and-back trail segments. Surfaces are mostly natural, a mix of flat stretches and many rigorous slopes through woods.
