About Sherwood
This city’s growth has not squelched the small-town atmosphere of the historic Old Town, and the camaraderie that is evident at community gatherings such as the city’s annual Robin Hood Festival.
Sherwood is a medley of juxtapositions – the old and the new creating a unique harmony. The protected wetlands of the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge and the rolling hills of fertile farmland surround Sherwood’s bustling roads and city center. The quiet of Old Town’s antique stores and tea shops are only minutes away from new commercial businesses such as the ACT III 10-screen theater, popular local restaurants, the YMCA and the Ice Hus, a double-sheet ice rink.
This vitality of oppositions makes Sherwood one of Oregon’s most livable cities, providing attractions for all. It is a family-oriented community not far from the down-town city life of Portland Oregon. The community takes great pride in what the area has to offer, including housing, excellent schools and athletic programs.
