Hillsboro Parks & Recreation invites you to celebrate the Halloween season together.

Discover reptiles and creepy critters at the HalloWetlands adventure, splash with floating pumpkins in the pool at SHARC, celebrate at a harvest festival at the Senior Center, or get into the groove at an all-ability Halloween dance. There's no shortage of thrills, chills, and festive fun. 

Spirit of Halloween & Pumpkin Patch Trip

Experience two Halloween traditions on this local travel trip with the Hillsboro Community Senior Center. Visit charming St. Helens, where several spooky movies have been filmed including Disney's Halloweentown and the Twilight.

Every year, St. Helen’s celebrates Halloween by decorating the city with spooky fun decorations, special performers, dancers, and a faire. After enjoying the festivities, visit Plumper Pumpkin Patch to pick pumpkins or enjoy other fun activities. Lunch not provided.
