Magness Memorial Tree Farm
glabah Says:
Just outside Wilsonville, there is a tree farm and experimental forest that is owned by the World Forestry Center in Portland. This is a place where forestry is actually demonstrated to the public, outside the confines of museum buildings owned by the forestry center.There...
Graham Oaks Nature Park
glabah Says:
One of the most recent parks to open in the Portland area, Graham Oaks Nature Park preserves some important habitat in the Wilsonville area, including some heavy forest, open savanna, and some oak trees, one of which is quite huge.The area isn't huge and it is mostly flat,...
Wilsonville's Public Art and Sculptures
glabah Says:
Wilsonville has a number of public sculptures. While not as extensive a public works effort as much larger cities, it is impressive considering the size and nature of Wilsonville.A public fountain in City Center Park and the Murase Plaza Fountain are two examples that have...
Wilsonville Arts Festival
glabah Says:
Despite its appearance from the freeway of being yet another bit of suburban wasteland, Wilsonville has been attempting to increase its arts and culture aspect.One part of that has been starting an annual arts festival, located in City Center Park. The bad news is that this...
Murase Plaza Fountain

This park is Wilsonville's oldest and largest park, and includes some 126 acres of land (including the area that was rededicated as Murase Plaza in 2006). There are trails, picnic areas, playgrounds, sports fields, an off-leash dog area, a fountain that people explore during...
Clackamas County Visitor's Information Center
glabah Says:
Located just off of Interstate 205, the idea was for Clackamas County to take its largest city located on I-5 and produce a good information center for those coming to visit the Portland area.Here's some Problems.1. Most of Portland proper is located in Multnomah County....
City Center Park

This park contains a small but well maintained playground area, a Clackamas County visitors information center office, some very modern covered picnic shelters, a number of uncovered picnic tables, some large expanses of green grass, a water feature that (when it is turned...
Oregon Korean Veterans Memorial
glabah Says:
This monument is the only item in Wilsonville with signs from Interstate 5 guiding people to it. Unfortunately, once you get off the freeway, the signs become quite small.The memorial contains a brief history of the war (on both standing slabs and on slabs on the ground)...
No Lifeguard on Duty!!!
There are two fairly popular fountains in Wilsonville. One of them is in City Center Park (a photo of the fountain in City Center Park is on my Wilsonville introduction page), and the other is the Murase Plaza Fountain.
As shown in the photograph, the city is very clear about the hazards of water: you are free to play in the fountains, but there is no lifeguard on duty. Therefore, watch yourself and your children to make sure that you do not drown in the fountains!

Stein Barn
The Stein Barn, while being named after a local family that homesteaded the Wilsonville area, is perhaps also appropriately named because it has been remodeled as a party space and has a small bar area inside. Though, it is also used to store some equipment for the parks department and in reality the facility is much as it once was.
It is a historical landmark of local interest only, and is located in the central part of Wilsonville's Memorial Park near the playground.
There are several historical markers identifying the significance of the barn and pointing out some interesting other barns in Clackamas County.
Unlike these other structures, however, Wilsonville's Stein Barn is not of particularly unusual shape or size.
