Parks and nature reserves 3 miles from downtown Beaverton
About 3 miles outside of Beaverton, West Beaverton is a neighborhood surrounded by nature. “I think there are a lot of people who move to West Beaverton to be near industry and businesses like Nike and Intel,” says Toby Joy Zelt, resident of two years and owner of Wild Pup Adventures. Nike and Intel are major employers in the area, with their offices about 3 miles outside the neighborhood. However, Zelt’s work let her interact with the parks surrounding her home, within West Beaverton and beyond. She started Wild Pup after her dog was diagnosed with cancer. “I decided to quit what I was doing to take her on an adventure every day for the rest of her life,” Zelt says. “Within a week or two, I realized I could take other people’s dogs with us and do amazing, fun things together.” Much of that fun comes from exploring reserves such as Lowami Hart Woods Natural Area or hiking along the Powerline Trail. Locals travel into the city to attend events or eat at one of several restaurants, including Bamboo Sushi, and students can attend Beaverton School District, which earns an A from Niche.

West Beaverton surrounded by nature
West Beaverton residents are always minutes away from a park or trail. “Right near me is the Powerline Trail,” Zelt says. “A lot of people use it for biking, running or taking their kids in strollers.” Part of the larger Powerline Trail, the Westside Regional Trail connects several parks, including Burntwood Park, which features a playground where kids can run around. The trail leads into Mount Williams Park, a forested area with mountain views. People can also walk through Lowami Hart Woods, and Zelt sometimes brings dogs to Winkelman Park, which she calls “the best dog park in the neighborhood.” There are many other opportunities to explore nature surrounding the neighborhood, with the Columbia River Gorge and Mount Hood about 28 miles away and the Pacific Ocean about 83 miles away.

Locals often travel into the heart of Beaverton, about 3 miles away, for a bite to eat, visiting restaurants such as Bamboo Sushi and Thai Bloom or Carina’s Bakery, which offers an exclusively vegan menu. “Even restaurants in Portland and Beaverton that are not vegan have great vegan or vegetarian options,” Zelt says. “It’s really hard to pick favorites when there’s so much good stuff.” At BG’s Food Cartel, patrons can try food from 15 vendors. Locals can get groceries from one of two Safeways near West Beaverton and do the rest of their shopping at Home Depot or Target, which are about 3 miles away.

Sparrowhawk Native Plants hosts a sale twice a year, letting residents find plants that will flourish in Beaverton’s ecosystem. “I love it, I think it’s a really great event,” Zelt says. “I’d want people to know about it.”

There isn't that much crime, but police are focusing their efforts incorrectly.

Beaverton is a safe place. Of course I have to look over my shoulder at night and when I'm by myself because I am a woman but that unsafe feeling would be in most places. We hardly have any crime that we see in town or on the news.
