There’s something special about spring in Tigard. As Fanno Creek Trail turns green and Cook Park comes alive along the Tualatin River, the city wakes up with energy and community spirit. Spring isn’t just a change in weather—it’s a fresh start. And in Tigard, that fresh start comes loaded with community events, outdoor fun, and family-friendly activities for everyone to enjoy.
