The ground covering is wood chips and there is no sand which is a plus if like me you don't like bringing home souvenirs from the park in your kiddos' shoes. The only down side was that the slides are not shaded and can get hot in the summer sun.

Eugene has great parks but this is definitely a classic…read more For those in the basketball community this used to be the best park to catch a pickup game any day of the week in the summer. It rivaled the Bean courts and Underbridge as the place to play in town outside. Those who play here simply call it U.P. All the highschool and college players would come down here to play on the modest court that was small enough to run 4 on 4 fullcourt. Halfcourt shots were well within range of some of the guys who filled it up regularly. The wait could be long and would stretch as deep as six games on a good afternoon. But half the fun was hanging out with all the other ballers and watch the sunbathers out in the grass. Sadly, the old wood backboard is gone, replaced sometime in the early 2000's by a ridiculous single stantion, double rimmed metal behemoth. The games aren't as good anymore but you can still catch a game here if you're lucky. Usually just some out of town UO kids or nostalgic South cats. Good luck, and keep running those games.

They have a playground for kids, basket ball court, large grass area with picnic tables, bathrooms and a baseball field. I always see many different types and ages of people enjoying outdoor activities here and it's located close to Sundance in case you need to grab a snack. There are trees to sit under on hot days and plenty of grass to lay out on. The bathrooms always surprise me that they don't have doors on the stalls! That's definitely something I've had to get used to living in Eugene because I've noticed this as multiple parks. This park is accessible by bus and has a bus stop very close to it. People do a good job of keeping this Park clean and I hope it stays that way. I'm pretty sure some events go on here during the summer but not positive which ones.

It's a great spot to get some sun but also has trees along the outsides with two trees in the middle for some shade on a hot day. This neighborhood is so cute to walk in and only a couple blocks away is a tea shop, Sweet Life Patisserie, McMenamin's restaurant and Prince Puckler's Ice Cream shop. I like walking my dog here and just spending time reading a book in the grass. It never seems very crowded which is also nice when you just want to relax. There is a bench and a little concrete area but it's mostly just trees, grass and some flowers.

Weight machines, free weights, bench and squat racks, group fitness studios, lap pool, basketball courts, rock wall and bouldering area, cardio machines, running track, TRX/free training area, outdoor tire flipping space, outdoor turf fields, and indoor/outdoor tennis are all options here. I feel that even at its peak hours, there are open weight machines and spaces to train (knock on wood that it stays that way in January). As far as the equipment goes, it's new and works great. I haven't seen a single piece of broken equipment in my month of training here, and I come five days per week. Additionally, there's a lobby with a huge TV for game watch parties. The staff is very friendly and helpful! If you go to UO, check this place out for your workout! I also believe there are guest passes available for sale for members of the Eugene/Springfield community.

A Beautiful Return to a Place Full of Nature and History…read more Both my wife and I had visited this spot before when we lived in the area, so with a little time to spare before lunch nearby, we decided to revisit it with her son and daughter-in-law. Nestled on a forested butte just east of the University of Oregon in Eugene, this area is absolutely stunning. The rhododendron garden is especially beautiful, offering a peaceful and scenic escape that feels tucked away from the city. Beyond its natural beauty, the area is steeped in history. One of the most notable connections is to Steve Prefontaine--a legendary runner and seven-time NCAA champion for Oregon. He trained in and around Hendricks Park and tragically passed away in a car accident on a winding road just below the park. His legacy lives on not only in the running world but also in the early success of Nike, where he became the brand's first sponsored athlete and helped elevate it to global prominence. Whether you're a nature lover, a history buff, or just looking for a quiet place to explore, this area is well worth a visit.

Charnel Mulligan Park is nice little park in the Jefferson Westside neighborhood. Though I never…read morehad heard of it growing up it's the closest to where my family lives nowadays. Most parks in Eugene don't have any sort of fence or anything, and this is no exception (the park I grew up with, Tandy Turn Park, is unusual in this regard). Thankfully this one is offset from the road enough that I didn't have to worry too much about my little one. It's a weird name, named after a Eugene pioneer and dedicated in 1984. There's a large green area where some folks were just relaxing, maybe having a picnic, when we were here and then there's the playground on the southwestern end. The playground has much of the typical equipment, including a swingset, teeter-totter, climbing equipment and slides. It's been renovated relatively recently in 2017, and they added some larger playground stuff, a half basketball court, a lot of benches, and a sandbox with real sand. My little one was drawn to that sandbox but I was not really keen to clean sand off her or out of the rental car so maybe another time. I didn't love the tot swings because they didn't really have a way for children to easily hold onto the chain, which was something my kiddo was struggling to do. The terrain of the park is largely grass, but the playground is sawdust. There's no dedicated parking for the park, but plenty of street parking surrounding and if it were a super busy day, I don't know that the church across the street would put up a fight about parking unless they were having an event. They do have a dedicated disabled spot on the street by the park, which is great, and it's worth knowing that the south entrance to the park has a few steps though the east side of the park is all street level without more than a curb step.
