The only negative I have is that it's near a house with barking dogs so it's a bit distracting for the dogs playing, but not a big deal. There's also not a separate area for small vs large dogs. I like that there's plenty of parking and you can walk to the river with your dog too.

It's also great for biking, roller skating, or just getting outside and moving. I enjoy all the seasons here. One of my favorite things about this park is how connected it is. If you keep heading north, the trails will take you all the way to Riverfront City Park and Wallace Marine Park, making for a longer adventure without ever needing to get back in your car. Whether you're looking for exercise, wildlife, peaceful scenery, or just a place to clear your head, Minto-Brown is a fantastic park to visit.

I still recommend bringing your own toys, but these make good fun for any dogs forgetting theirs. It would be awesome if it had a covered area for humans, but it does have a picnic bench and a few chairs. I highly suggest you wear clothes/shoes you don't mind getting muddy/dirty, especially in the rainy months. Our two labradoodles had a GREAT time playing with the other dogs and just running and being dogs in a large area. Highly recommended for fun-loving dogs and humans alike!

The off-leash area spans several acres and is fully fenced, offering plenty of room for dogs to run safely. It's located within Eugene's beautiful riverfront park and includes two separate sections for large and small dogs, which I really appreciate. There are thoughtful amenities throughout, including water stations, shaded seating, picnic tables, and even covered shelters for those rainy Oregon days. One of my favorite features is the walking trail inside the fenced area, so you can get your own exercise in while your pup explores. This park is well maintained, the pet owners are thoughtful and extremely friendly, and this has consistently been a great stop for my BFF Elsa as well as for myself.

Skinner (not Skinner's) Butte Park is the the location of the homestead of Eugene's founder, named…read moreEugene Skinner, and is one of the city's oldest parks. It's a large park right on the banks of the Willamette River and offers a variety of activities. There's the playground, RiverView Discovery Village, which is fairly large and has some pretty cool. It has various structures for kids to play on and around, representing storefronts, a stagecoach, and so on. There's the typical slides and swings and stuff that you'll find at a playground as well. They also have a "splash pad", which is a circular pipe sticking out of the ground about 10 feet, but it does spray so I guess it's something. The park fronts the river, and although the playground is not immediately on the bank of the river it's close enough that you'll want to keep a close watch on your children (every year there are tragedies along the Willamette). There is no fencing or anything around the playground, which seems like a no-brainer in this location but I guess not, and that's why I give the three-star rating instead of four. It's just a really nerve-wracking park especially for parents of small children. There could be more picnic tables around the playground... there's at least three, but that may be it. There's lots of green space for folks to spread out on the grass as well, which several people were doing whilst we were here celebrating my daughter's birthday. There was a drum circle that showed up about 20 minutes before we left as well and that was kinda cool. Part of the general park area are the Columns, remnants of a basalt quarry that existed for a few decades in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a pretty popular spot for rock climbing. It's a short distance from the playground area. I went with a class as a middle schooler and was not too keen on climbing myself. Then there's the titular Butte, which one can hike to the top or drive. I've never hiked up myself, but the drive is sometimes closed to traffic when fires are a concern. There are biking trails, a community garden, and the Campbell Senior Center is on the eastern edge of the park as well. There are bathrooms here, and although I didn't go into them my sister and friend did and apparently they're kinda weird--no doors on the stalls. I suppose that must be some sort of safety measure? It's fairly odd, regardless. There's a fairly decent sized parking lot to the east of the playground as well, and parking along the southern end of the park (at the base of the Butte).

In the winter/spring months it does get VERY muddy and there's no shade for the hot days of summer, so plan accordingly. Parking is just along the street (Throne Drive) but easy. The doggy bag stations always seem to be stocked, though the two water outlets are testy and not always working.
