Paula Jean Powerline Park is a linear park under high voltage power lines located in west Aloha, Oregon at 21391 SW Jay Street. There is no off-street parking, but parking is permitted on SW Jay Street. The park is a long thin rectangle in shape and can be accessed from all sides. It is still under construction so there is no park sign yet. The adjacent park Trachsel Meadows will be added to this park making the total length about one mile. What is really weird is that the park is located within Aloha, has a Beaverton mailing address and is operated by Hillsboro Parks and Recreation. The coordinates are set to the playground. This park is open dawn to dusk.
This is a small sized playground, there is a medium sized slide, climbing bar set, small swing set and teeter totters probably best suited for younger to mid-aged children. The playground has a wood chip surface and and is in good condition. There is some shade for the playground depending on the time of day.
From the park website: "Paula Jean Powerline Park, a power line corridor, offers ample space for active play. The park encompasses Paula Jean Playground at the north end and Traschsel Meadows at the south end. A narrow paved path connects the main portions of the park to the surrounding neighborhood, and several unpaved paths continue on through the meadow. Paula Jean playground offers a set of classic play structures with an adjacent shaded bench. There is a small basketball court in the southern portion of the park, off SW Augusta Street. The park can be accessed in many places from the neighborhood both on both sides, as well as from SW Jay Street, SW Augusta Street and SW Johnson Street. Restrooms and drinking water are not available. "
