It’s the last weekend to rent a kayak on the Tualatin River from Cook Family Park! 🚣

Join us this Saturday or Sunday for a paddle on the river, with $30 rentals all weekend long.

And a big thank you to our safety boat volunteers who have helped keep dozens of paddling groups safe and comfortable on the river this summer! They’re out there answering questions, supporting paddlers of all experience levels, and helping make every trip a fun and safe adventure. 💙

Come get one more paddle in before the season wraps up!
