My canine companion and I travel to Portland, Oregon frequently, and we've stopped at quite a few dog parks along the way. I have to admit, though -- Alton Baker is hands down our favorite. 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. read more

I was passing through Eugene and my pup was antsy and needed to get out of the car. This is an absolutely beautiful park! If I lived near here, I would go here all the time! read more

This is a good dog par if your dog will come when called or stay with you or in a pack. If your dog is a seeker of adventure, be warned that the far side of the park is not fenced and the fence that is there has gaps large enough for smaller dogs to escape. There are poo bags and a trash can. There is a spot to wash off your dog (or shoes) and some buckets of water for dogs. All of the dogs and people were friendly and there is parking. read more

Nice dog park with plenty of room for the pooches to run around. Water entry into the canal is just outside the gate, but people seem pretty chill about letting the dogs go in off leash (assuming they're well behaved). read more

This is a beautiful big dog park with squirrels abounding. There are 2 entrances with water and bags at both. The park is very green and they keep up on the replanting of the grass. Overall the park is clean and it's easy for humans to run and play with their pup. This park holds a special place in my heart because this is the first dog park we went to in Oregon. As long as there isn't a ducks game be sure to check this beautiful off leash dog park out. read more

Larger area for dogs to run around. A few areas are restricted, however they're trying to regrown some trees which will lead to more shade in time. Often the two water spots for the pups gets a little dirty so if your worried about water, bring your own. River is right across the park Incase you want your pup to take a dip instead. read more

This dog park is located in the fabulous Alton Baker Park, right across from Autzen Stadium. It is off-leash! And the biggest dog park I have ever been to. Here are a few reasons why it's amazing: 1. Huge, enclosed area 2. Kiddie pools for the dogs to play in 3. Grass! (instead of dirt most dog parks have) 4. Rock paths for people to walk on, thus less likely to step in poo 5. Every time I have been there, the dogs were very friendly read more

This is such a great dog park! There are two huge area with tons of room for the pup to run around and play. Our little guy loves to run around, sniff, pee, and play here. There are a few benches scattered around if owners want to sit and watch their furry friends play. Each side has a water/trash can area. I like that the owners are attentive and friendly. Everyone watches their dog and/or walks with them from one area to the next. We come here all the time and it's our favorite in Eugene. The only down side is the parking lot (across from Autzen); it has tons of potholes. Also on days when there's a sports event at Autzen, this parking lot is full. We try to avoid it on game days. read more

What a nice dog park! It's huge and has lots of trees, grass and hills for the dogs to run. People seemed pretty nice and it was clean. read more

We were visiting from out of town and found this park not far from our hotel. What a find! Great open location. Huge! Lots of shade and different areas for the dogs to play. Right outside of the dog park are multiple trails to explore, but the dog will need to be leashed outside of the designated dog part area. Parking can be difficult, so have some patience. It's a popular spot. read more

Our favorite dog park in Eugene. I have a big lab & pitbull mix so the wide space is perfect for him to run around in. There are plenty of trees and tables to sit at on hotter and sunnier days for shade. We actually like it when it's busier and there's lots of energetic and playful dogs for him to play with. If you have a small, more shy, or puppy that still needs to be trained, this park might not be the best choice. There's always been parking spaces next to the garden when we've gone. It's a short walk from the parking spaces to the park. The park hasn't offered poop bags for a while, so make sure to bring your own. There are two water faucets on each side of the park for your pups to drink water. Just careful on days after a rainpour because there are pockets in certain parts of the park where it gets really muddy. If your dog normally doesn't run through mud, that doesn't mean another dog won't chase yours through the mud or shake and get some on you. The views are beautiful though in the fall and it's right next to Autzen Stadium. I love strolling through here and seeing bicyclists and joggers passing by on the side. Sometimes in the summer, you can hear music from the amphitheater nearby as well. Great vibe and cool people who come here. read more

Our dog loves this HUGE dog park. It is generally clean and owners do a good job of picking up after their pets. The dog park has water pumps/hoses at each end with drinking bowls and large plastic pools out for the water-loving pups to play in when it is hot. We visit 1-2 times per week and have yet to have a poor experience with any owners or aggressive dogs. read more

My dogs and I really enjoy this dog park. The dogs have plenty of room to run around off leash and trees to shade everyone when it's hot outside. There are pathways that you can walk loops on to get some exercise while your dog plays. It always seems very clean and people do a good job of cleaning up after their pets. It can get muddy here during the rainy season but not as bad as Amazon Dog Park. There are other trails around this dog park that you can walk on with your dog when they are leashed. There is a parking area not far from the entrance which makes it easy to access. In the summer there are little plastic pools for the dogs to play in to cool off and hydrate. There are also a few picnic benches to sit at if needed. I've never experienced any bad energy or aggressive dogs here and plan to keep coming back frequently. read more

I really REALLY wish this park had a small dog section like Amazon. I just do not feel comfortable taking my very small dog here. She gets startled and a big dog may just not realize their size. It's in a great location and would be very convenient for my dog and I. read more

Great off leash dog park. This park has a great layout for people and dogs who want to hang out and socialize or just stroll around and get some energy out. read more

This is a great dog park, in the midst of a great park. The dog park is quite pretty, with huge open areas, big shady trees, a few picnic tables, a drinking fountain, wading pools for dogs, etc. A very pleasant place to take your pooches. It's even more or less wheel-chair accessible. By that I mean there are some graveled paths by which you can get to shade, a table, the drinking fountain, etc., but being gravel, it's obviously not as easy as a paved path. I've gone there with a friend who doesn't use a power chair, and the only help she needed was to get through the double gate. The dog park in general is well-maintained. The one thing I wish was different is that it doesn't have a segregated area for small dogs. I've never seen any real problems there, but as the owner of 3 smallish dogs (from 14 lbs to 23 lbs), I can appreciate that at least some small dogs (not to mention their owners) can be intimidated by big excited dogs gleefully galloping up on them. You can access the dog park either from the gravel lot (behind Autzen stadium), or by a pretty walk from the paved lots up by the duckponds. Some folks coming from the gravel lot make a first stop at the edge of the lot to give their labs or other water-loving dogs a chance to play in the stream, then take them the short distance up to the dog park entrance. Double your pleasure, double your fun! read more

So I go to this do park because it's the closer to my house then the rest. Durning the summer months, it gets really crowded and I avoided it as much as possible. (As well as game days!) with the other choices of dog parks in town I have really grown to prefer them! This one isn't bad, but not the best. read more

This is a great dog park & we have been to a lot! Lot of space to run - nice big trees to sniff - digging areas - walking paths for 2-legged friends!! Plus the people I met were just plain nice - everybody wanted to talk - I am not even from here so that was a nice change (sometimes regulars can be clickie)! And the dogs were friendly, happy to be there!! read more

Beautiful park next to the Willamette River! There are all kinds of pathways for walks and bikers also. Great trees and large grass spaces for running and throwing balls for the dogs. Parking is a little challenging but well worth it read more

Always fun to bring my two shnazures here. It's big and other then the mud, very fun! Convinent for me too :) oh and it always has the best view of the sunset!! read more

Really great park. Huge amount of space and lots of grass. Hiking trails all over the area as well. There was also a small pool and an option for two separate areas to play at. read more

I should say this dog park is the biggest and the best set up dog park in Eugene aria, it is so nice to have the gravel paths not only around the edge but meandering thru the whole park and it is big enough that if there is a problem dog (it happens once in a while no mater were you go) the park is big enough that you can take your dog around to the other end and still be able to spread out and have fun without interacting with the problem dog, it is in a beautiful spot too, the only thing is that if you have hay fever it is the worst place to be because of the wild grass and trees that surround the whole park, the grass is not mowed out side the park at all I have seen it up five feet at times, but that is also what makes the aria so beautiful! read more
