Beaverton City Hall

Built in 1985, and also known as the Griffith Park Building, the City of Beaverton began leasing space in this 75,000 square foot building in 1986. Beaverton’s City Hall moved to the Beaverton Building in 2014 and the Beaverton Police Department moved to the new Beaverton Public Safety Center in 2020, but the Griffith Park Building continues to house the Beaverton Municipal Court and a few other city offices.

Embedded in the concrete outside the main entrance is an installation briefly recounting Beaverton's history. Called "Writing the Future," it was installed in 1993 for Beaverton's centennial.
