Orchard Park is located at 20910 NW Amberwood Drive Hillsboro, Oregon. There is off-street parking from Amberwood Drive at the north entrance. The coordinates are set to the tee pad for hole #1. This park is open dawn to dusk.
This is a very popular nine-hole disc golf course. There are large trees and pedestrians walking through the course on the park trails so it can be a challenge. There is no charge to the general public and it is available from dawn to dusk every day.
From the park website: "The Orchard Park and Disc Golf Course is open from dawn until dusk. The relatively short and family-friendly nine-hole course is the City's first disc golf course and was installed with the help of volunteers. The course is 1,972 feet in length and has a variety of challenges including navigating the cherry orchard on the first three holes."
