Children over the age of 8 years old are welcome if accompanied by an adult. Space is limited at both facilities, so reservations should be made in advance by calling (503) 547-8000.

Although Clean Water Services maintains a close working relationship with Washington County government, it is a separately managed and financed public utility.
