Shute Park Skating Rink

Description
-
Black and white image of a skating rink behind a number of tall pines. A group of people are standing around the open entrance. Shute Park was the main site of civic activities in Washington County, including the county fair, until the County Fairgrounds were built. Over time the building deteriorated, and in 1974, when it was determined that it would cost more to bring it up to code than was reasonable, the building was demolished. Shute Park is named for John W. Shute, who founded the First National Bank in Hillsboro in 1888. Shute had arrived in Oregon in 1858 by the unusual route of crossing the Isthmus of Panama and then taking a steamer up the Pacific Coast.
