Enjoying Spring in Beaverton: Explore and try something new

#MessageFromTheMayor

Spring is a wonderful time to enjoy the beautiful city of Beaverton. As the weather gets warmer, the city comes alive with all sorts of activities that are perfect for the whole family. Here are three things to keep in mind as you explore Beaverton this spring:

Shop and Eat Outside

One of the best ways to enjoy the beautiful weather in Beaverton this spring is by shopping and eating outside. Stroll through the Farmers Market, where you can find fresh produce, baked goods, and much more. Check out one of the many food trucks in the area, including the trucks at BG’s Food Cartel. And if you’re in the mood for a sit-down meal, Beaverton has no shortage of local restaurants serving up delicious dishes made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Enjoy Local Parks and Natural Areas

Beaverton is home to some of the most beautiful parks and natural areas in the Portland Metro area. Whether you take a peaceful hike along the boardwalk at Tualatin Hills Nature Park, have a relaxing picnic at Cooper Mountain, or enjoy the fountain at City Park with the kids, there is something for everyone to enjoy. So, take advantage of the weather and get outside to explore all that Beaverton has to offer.

Try Something New

Spring is the perfect time to step outside your comfort zone and try something new.  Ride your bike to work, attend the Downtown BOBA Tea Walk on April 29th, or a sign up for a new class through THPRD – let the good weather inspire you. Take a chance and try something you’ve never done before – you might just be surprised at how much you enjoy it!

Enjoy the spring, and don’t forget to stop to smell the flowers!
