This is one of the best parks in Eugene. It has beautiful huge landscapes, kids playground, a clean restroom and a great city view spot. The great thing here is a huge parking lot. I saw many people came for running, biking, and chilling. What a great place to relax your mind. I would love to visit this park again in the future

It's a great place for an easy, quick hike, and it has a wonderful playground for kids. You can either hike the butte or walk along the river on the bike path. There are many places to sit and a decent amount of parking. It's a great place to hang out in the afternoon with the kiddos or get away from town while still being inside town. It is a very popular place so expect to see other people and families here as well. Unfortunately, because it is so close to downtown, you can sometimes find some of the homeless population around as well as signs being sprayed graffiti quite often. The city does, what I hope is their best, at keeping this to a minimum as they do maintain the park and butte pretty well. Overall it's an awesome place to come see the town at night and it's a pretty cool trip during the day. Either way, if you're passing through or traveling, especially if you have kiddos, this is an amazing stop to catch your breath.

Such a beautiful park with a paved walking path. An incredible playground and restrooms located next to the playground. The playground includes a swing set, sand box and a ton of other activities for kids young and older. Plenty of parking.

This is a beautiful park. The design is creative. The playground structure is about three floors. Younger children need to be supervised if it's their first time. The Willamette river runs along the park. There is a water fountain for children to get wet. There's a sand play area. It has plenty of parking. This kids can enjoy multiple activities. There's picnic tables, benches and plenty of grassy areas. It has multiple activities. Make sure to check out their website. It has rock climbing, fishing, biking, hiking, and so forth.
