Mary S. Young State Recreation Area

Mary S. Young Park is owned by Oregon State Parks, and operated through cooperative agreement with the City of West Linn. For further information please contact the City of West Linn Parks and Recreation at (503) 557-4700.

Mary S. Young State Park offers you a peaceful place to walk or sit by the Willamette River. This quiet, forested park is a favorite for urban birders. As you walk deeper into the forest on the numerous trails (5-8 miles worth), it's easy to forget you're in a city. It's a quick but refreshing stop if you don't have time for a drive to the country. See a trail map and aerial photo (courtesy of the City of West Linn).

There's also plenty of room for kids to play on the sports fields, a restroom, reservable shelter and an area for dogs to run unleashed.
