The park was designed with a focus on 'Universal Design,' ensuring all equipment is accessible to children and adults regardless of physical ability.
The synthetic turf on the baseball field is specifically engineered to accommodate wheelchairs and other assistive devices without restricting movement.
The play equipment includes a sensory-rich 'roller slide' and specialized merry-go-rounds that can be boarded by wheelchair users.
The splash pad utilizes recirculating water systems designed to be both environmentally conscious and safe for sensitive users.
The site was specifically chosen and developed to provide adaptive infrastructure that was previously lacking in the Beaverton area.
Mountain View Champions Park is a specialized 20-acre recreation facility in Beaverton, Oregon, designed to be fully inclusive for people of all physical and cognitive abilities. It features the district's first fully accessible synthetic turf baseball field, the Champions Field, which allows athletes in wheelchairs and walkers to play on a level surface. The park includes a destination playground with high-sensory equipment, wide paths, and ramps ensuring accessibility for mobility devices. A dedicated splash pad provides water play opportunities with safety-focused, zero-depth entry features. The facility is managed by the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD). It serves as a regional hub for adaptive sports leagues and community-based recreational programming. The grounds are landscaped with native plantings and include multiple accessible picnic areas. Parking and restrooms on-site are designed to meet ADA standards.
The elevated viewing deck overlooking the Champions Field provides a wide-angle view of the entire park layout.
Visit during weekday mornings if you prefer a quieter environment for sensory-sensitive individuals.
Bring water shoes for the splash pad, as the surface can become warm under direct sunlight.
Check the THPRD website for specific adaptive sports league schedules if you wish to observe local tournaments.
Do not wear metal cleats on the synthetic baseball field as they can damage the specialized surface.
The splash pad operates seasonally, typically from late spring through early autumn, depending on weather conditions.
Maintain awareness of shared space on the adaptive turf; priority on the ball field is given to scheduled inclusive sports programming.
