Schaad Park Loop Trail (.94 miles) -  Looking for a short but rewarding hike for a great view of Newberg on a clear day? In less than a mile, the Schaad Park Loop Trail ascends a steep, grassy hillside via gradual switchbacks, leading you to a bench to sit and take in one of the best elevated vistas in town, overlooking the hospital, golf course, PCC, and beyond. The trail then levels out and meanders through a patch of woods to a gravel parking lot facing Corral Creek Rd. Doable over a lunch hour.

Schaad Park is located in The Greens housing development just past the golf course, facing Eagle Street. Turn left into The Greens and turn right onto Eagle Street. The trailhead and its sign are visible from the street. There is street parking only. No restrooms.
