Its location is also beautiful because it overlooks the South Umpqua River. Park goers can take a short walk to a spacious dog park or follow several trails that run along the South Umpqua River.

On this visit, I was amazed by all the different dahlias, the beautiful roses, and the whimsical rock garden populated by gnomes.

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.

One of our nature stops while visiting family needed to be Singleton Park. This place isn't huge,…read moreso if somebody had already planned a company picnic or family reunion or something of the sorts, there isn't going to be a lot of spare space for others. That being said, this park, albeit somewhat primitive (just not fancy), is really nice. The grounds keepers do a nice job keeping up with the mowing and pruning. The path on the far side of the park leads down to the water and gives you a great vantage point of where the North and South Umpqua rivers run together prior to becoming the Umpqua and heading out to the pacific ocean. The setting here provided for some nice back drops for some pictures with family. Unless you are planning a picnic or something your trip here probably won't take exceptionally long, but it's well worth the few minute drive to get here and check it out.

Conveniently located right across the street from my house, Lawnridge Park is a jewell. A full…read morebasketball court (on the Lawnridge Ave. side of the park) where you can find a pick-up game almost any day of the week, and host to charity tournaments during the year, well lit for evening play during the darker months. A tennis court, also on the Lawnridge side of the park. A gazebo for parties, plenty of lush green grass for the kiddies and furry friends to run around on. Big shade trees and a small playground. This park is about 1/2 a city block in size and just perfect for a neighborhood park. I like that the B-Ball and Tennis Courts are on the other side of the park ... cuts down on the noise but you still know when the game is on. The gazebo may be reserved for special occasions but I never do. I just take it over! A very well maintained park, the garbage cans are never overflowing, the bathrooms are clean and stocked, the grass cut at least once a week and watered every night between 11:30 - 1:00 a.m. The sound of sprinklers is not quite the same as the sound of the ocean but, I still fall asleep.

I haven't been here for years and years, but when I was passing by, I decided to stop in. It's a…read moregreat place to visit. It's basically a drive-through zoo. A lot of of the animals roam free, but then some of them like the elephants, giraffes, big cats, etc. are in enclosures. But they do have a good amount of room in their enclosures. This place is an accredited zoo, so they have standards that they have to follow. Some of the animals were a bit farther away, some come right up to your car. Especially in the area where you are allowed to feed the animals. I didn't buy a feed cup, but quite a few of them were still walking up to my car,, hoping that I had food. Sorry guys... it's just so much fun seeing the animals up close. Normal drive-through time is an hour to an hour and a half, but depending on how many times you stop, and how many cars are in the park, it could definitely be more. It's all up to you. If there are a lot of cars stopped for a specific animal, you can take a picture, and then go around the cars that are stopped. There's plenty of room to do so. In addition to the drive-through, they also have Safari village, which has more animals, a train ride, animal shows, restaurants, and snack bars, even a playground for the kids. It was $29.95 for adults, less for kids and seniors. If you are military/veterans/1st responder, you get the best discount. Free! I thought that was very generous of them. Thanks for the great visit. I will be back the next time I'm passing through.
