Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve

Located minutes south of downtown Hillsboro, Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 635 acres are a quiet sanctuary for both people and wildlife. Over 200 species of birds have been sighted at Jackson Bottom, including nesting Bald Eagles, Osprey and Great Blue Herons. Thousands of Northern Pintails and other waterfowl visit each winter, making Jackson Bottom a haven for bird watchers. The Preserve is home to deer, otters, beavers, and hundreds of other species. Providing interpretive education on wetlands and wildlife, panoramic views, natural resources management, trails and recreation, Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve is a treasure for the entire region.

Wetlands Education Center

With the help of generous donations, dedicated volunteers, and the vision of the non-profit Jackson Bottom Board of Directors the Jackson Bottom Wetlands Education Center opened on September 27, 2003. The 12,000 square-foot farm-style building blends well with its natural surroundings and a 3,000-square foot wraparound deck that connects the Center to the trails leading into the Preserve. The covered deck overlooking the Preserve is a perfect space for rentals and special events. The Wetlands Education Center includes an exhibit hall filled with interactive exhibits on wetlands and natural history, and the only bald eagle nest on display in the continental United States. The Center also has a Nature Store and a multipurpose space for programs.

Connecting with Nature

With over 25,000 people engaged in programs or visiting the Preserve annually, the Wetlands Education Center strives to create a diverse range of opportunities for people to interact and participate in the rich natural ecology of the surrounding wetlands. Community program offerings include Lunch with the Birds, Sunset & Moonrise Watch, Morning Bird Song Walks, and ongoing lectures on topics such as native plants, pollinators and soil health. Nature education programming at the Preserve includes camps and classes for all ages and abilities in tracking, wildlife watching, plant identification, crafting with natural materials, and more.

Located in the heart of Downtown Hillsboro, the Glenn and Viola Walters Cultural Arts Center is built on a site with a rich history of community involvement that began when Trinity Lutheran Church began construction of the building in 1947. Members of the parish pitched in and labored together to construct the frame of the building, donating both their goods and talents to create the church which would later become the Walters Cultural Arts Center in 2004. The Walters is a ground-breaking facility that provides expanded opportunities for youth and adult art education and training, community access to excellent regional and national artists and speakers, and increased opportunities for local arts organizations, and professional and emerging artists. It is the first site constructed in Hillsboro with the intention of showcasing cultural events and providing community-centered education in the arts. The establishment of the Glenn & Viola Walters Cultural Arts Center and its programming has enabled the City of Hillsboro to expand and enrich the services available to its Residents and the surrounding community.

Culture & Creativity Come Together:

The Walters is home to diverse range of cultural offerings through our Concert Series, Gallery Season, and Tuesday Happenings. Our arts education programming includes camps and classes for students all ages in ceramics, painting, drawing, theatre, music, animation, and more. The Walters is a proud showplace for the arts and a vibrant representation of Hillsboro’s commitment to culture and the arts. Creativity, culture and community—your cultural arts center has it all.

Celebrate Your Special Event:

With its classic red-stone architecture, stained glass features, custom woodwork ceiling arches, concert-quality sound system, and fine art gallery, the Walters is one of the west side’s most treasured sites for weddings, parties and other special events. Whether you’d like an intimate family reception for 40 guests in our fine art gallery, an extravagant party for 200 in the theatre, or an outdoor reception on the lawn, the Walters provides a variety of amenable and affordable options for your special event. For more information about events, classes and rentals at the Walters, go to www.hillsboro-oregon.gov/Walters.

Discover Hillsboro Parks

This hip, urban .5-acre plaza opened in August, 2015 and hasn’t stopped moving and shaking since. During the summer, free fitness classes, concerts, educational community events and dances kept the unique destination active. The plaza is home to OrenKoFest, Hillsboro’s fall festival, and the Winter Village, a portable ice rink that will be open for business from December 2, 2016 through January 2, 2017. Look for new events and activities to take place there this coming year.
