At the corner of First and Garfield, Library Square is a one acre site situated on the grounds of the Woodburn Public Library. The Park hosts the popular "Music in the Park" program, featuring a full schedule of outdoor concerts.
Legion Park is Woodburn's oldest park site. At nearly 16 acres, Legion Park has a full sized soccer field, stadium, picnic pavilion, numerous picnic tables, grass playfields, and densely wooded Douglas Fir tree grove. An archeologically themed nature play area was installed in May 2013.
The City's vision for an interconnected trail system through the Mill Creek Greenway corridor dates back to the 1960's, as properties were acquired and set aside for future development. The City furthered its plans with the completion of the Mill Creek Greenway Master Plan in 2006.
By the mid-1950’s, the diesel electric locomotive became standard for the railroads, and steam engines were being scrapped. Fortunately, some were saved for the education of later generations. In 1957, Woodburn would receive a classic 1902 built steam locomotive through donation by the Southern Pacific Railroad.
