We were able to get in an hour stroll because we walked through the disc golf area. There's plenty of parking. And the bathrooms near the swimming pool were very clean.

Nice little park with a paved and dirt walking path around the pond…read more Ample parking and handicap accessible around the lake. Even at the start of winter the pond and ducks are a relaxing and calm sight to see. I imagine in the spring when everything is in foliage, it's more crowded. But I look forward to seeing it change throughout the year. They do have porta-pottys but would be nice if they had real restrooms. Across the street is a baseball field. Still didn't see any restrooms. Only had a short time to explore, but look forward to seeing the many hiking trails it offers.

Walking in to the theater, built in the 1920's, you pass the 8' tall pharaoh statues & see murals on the walls, a very large movie screen & a ceiling 40' high! There is a mezzanine & a balcony. It was very interesting & we enjoyed the tour.

I provided a lot of historical information as well as a hands-on experience since you're able to enter the train cars. We didn't think it would be as fun as it was and we didn't leave enough time fully explore everything because they closed 45 minutes after arrival. Make sure to check the times that they are open and plan your visit accordingly. The volunteers running it are very helpful and kind

Not exactly a convenient place to "hang out", but it's the best thing about Coos Bay's waterfront…read more No wharf. No little shops. One seafood shack (which is finally fantastic to have fresh fish available in a coastal town). And... occasionally we see people actually walking on the boardwalk. Wish someone would've visited San Francisco before they made a mess of our waterfront. But... it's the best we have. At least it's a beginning.

Overall this town is not worth stopping at service and people are rude better to spend your money…read moreelsewhere on the coast

The guide takes pictures that are available online afterward, so just go, paddle, and enjoy this gem of the Oregon Coast. SO, SO glad I did this. Thank you, David and Mike.

We drove through this rather large coastal city while on our way to visit family in Charleston, OR…read morefor the weekend. It's known as Oregon's 'Bay Area', and it definitely has that feel with hills and all. Coos Bay is a major port for maritime commerce, namely lumber. Population is over 15,000. It's home to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and hometown of iconic runner Steve Prefontaine. It offers natural beauty for outdoor adventures at Shore Acres State Park and Sunset Bay State Park. There's plenty of hiking and storm watching opportunities. Golden and Silver Falls are popular hiking destinations. If you're a gambler, the Mill Casino is also a popular destination offering lodging at their hotel and RV park. Visit the Marshfield District for shops, restaurants, galleries, historic buildings, museums and theaters. And don't forget the fresh seafood abound. One of our favorite things while driving along highway 101. If you're in the area, I recommend stopping to take in what this coastal city has to offer!

The history of Coos Bay dates back to the days of Lewis and Clark. One of the most famous…read moreresidents, Coos Bay was the birth place of Steve Prefointaine. People come from around the world to participate in the memorial race that was set up in his memory. But, what is Coos Bay known for today, first, world class golf (not my thing), but they are known for it. Second, the sand dunes. The Umpqua Dunes in northern Coos County are the widest and highest in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. This section of dunes is closed to off-highway vehicles, so hikers love them. Whether you are looking for hiking, beach exploring, mountain biking, sea lion watching .... it's all within a short distance of Coos Bay. Kind of the hub for the Oregon Coast if you are in the middle region of the state.
