Wilsonville Memorial Park

Wilsonville Memorial Park is a large municipal park in Wilsonville, Oregon, United States. Opened in 1969, the 126-acre park is the largest and oldest in the city. Located off Wilsonville Road east of Interstate 5, the park includes a plaza with water features, athletic fields and courts, trails, a skatepark, picnic areas, a dog park, and playground equipment. Part of the park fronts the Willamette River and includes a public boat dock.

Wilsonville residents voted to incorporate as a city in 1968, with the city forming the next year. That year the city purchased about 61 acres along the Willamette River on the east side of Interstate 5 to be used as a park, named Wilsonville Memorial Park. In June 1987, residents approved a bond measure to build a library and add 41.5 acres to Memorial Park. This land was located along the Willamette River west of the original part of the park and was purchased from Nike, Inc. for $1.1 million. The next year the city built new restrooms at the park near the river.
