Exploring Clackamas County Oregon Parks, Family Trips

Autism / By

I have one child with autism so we are always looking for new places to explore to keep ourselves on our toes (or off of them). I made a list of the parks nearby in Clackamas County and thoughts on each. I’ll dive into a Portland Park reviews list as well. Please let me know if you know of a park that’s not on the list or if one opens up.
