The City of Tigard offers more than 540 acres of parks, greenways and natural areas. Our parks system ranges from ballfields to ecosystem reserves to neighborhood spaces. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) has the responsibility to advise the public works director and city council regarding park and recreation policies, budget, facilities, programs and other needs of the community to provide quality park and recreation services. These spaces offer residents of all ages and abilities recreation opportunities, from walking to team sports. Best of all, they let residents and visitors connect with each other and their neighbors.

Our Mission:We exist to provide healthy and diverse recreational opportunities through programs, events, parks, and natural areas, for all ages and abilities, ensuring that the City of Tigard is a desirable place to live and play.

We strive to be inclusive to all. If you or someone you know needs special assistance for any Tigard Parks & Rec activity or program, please let us know! If you have any ideas or tips to help us be more inclusive, please tell us!
