A brand-new playground, chosen by kids.
Tualatin Community Park's playground closed September 21, 2026 for a full replacement. The new, more inclusive play space was designed with input from local kids, and is expected to reopen in late 2026 or early 2027, just minutes from 22379 SW 107th Ave.
For generations of Tualatin families, the playground at Tualatin Community Park has been the default answer to the question "where do we go today?" This fall, that familiar equipment is coming down to make way for something bigger and better. The Parks & Recreation Department closed the old play area the week of Monday, September 21, 2026, and crews have about three months to remove the aging structures and install the new ones.
The replacement roughly doubles the capacity of the existing play structures, and it is designed to be more inclusive, with accessible ramps, sensory play, and equipment that more kids can use side by side. Best of all, Tualatin's own children helped shape the final design. Here is what families near 22379 SW 107th Ave should know.
The Project
Why the old playground came down.
The project grew out of the Parks & Recreation Department's November 2025 bi-annual asset survey, which flagged the aging playground as the top priority for replacement using Parks Utility Fee funds. In other words, this is the neighborhood's own parks funding at work, reinvested into one of its most-used spaces.
The new equipment is supplied by Burke, a manufacturer known for durable, colorful play structures, and the build is being carried out by Portland-based Buell. The footprint covers the entire play area, so the park keeps its familiar layout while the structures themselves get a complete refresh.

Tualatin kids picked the colors and structures.
The most charming part of this project: local children voted on the structures and the color palette. The city invited kids to weigh in on the design, and the result is a more vibrant, more playful look than a standard off-the-shelf playground. When you visit after the rebuild, the colors and equipment are the ones Tualatin's own kids asked for.
Alongside the design vote, the new layout adds inclusive play options that open the space to more abilities: wider ramps, ground-level sensory elements, and room for children using mobility aids to play alongside their friends. For a family weighing where to put down roots, a park that is actively investing in accessible play is a quietly strong sign about the community's priorities.
Plan Ahead
Closed for the season, reopening soon.
Because the playground is closed for roughly three months from late September, families should plan for the area to be fenced off through the fall. The current timeline points to a reopening in late December 2026 or early 2027, meaning the new playground should be ready right around the holidays. The rest of Tualatin Community Park, including the skate park and the open lawns around it, stays open throughout the work.
In the meantime, other Tualatin play spots remain great options nearby. Ibach Park, Jurgens Park, and Atfalati Park all have playgrounds of their own, and the whole city sits minutes from 22379 SW 107th Ave. For the full rundown of where kids play in town, the family-fun guide has you covered.
