At first.I was a little nervous because when you go down by the creek for the day use people are a little sketchy. We did not see one of them in the RV part of the park. They all stay down by the creek on the day use area. It was a great price Everything was perfect No frills, but a nice shade tree a shower and a creek . When traveling that's all you need. We felt safe at night. We left our chairs out and everything was perfect. We checked in on Monday and there's a young mom in there with a baby. She couldn't have been sweeter. She was helpful and just really kind. She told us where to go get coffee in the morning. The town is maybe a mile and a half. We rode our bike . On my way back to wherever I'm going. I would stop here again. THANK YOU for taking us last minute.

I don't review many parks, but felt ABP deserved some mention. ABP is like the "Central Park" of…read moreEugene. It is huuuuge and has so many walking/biking paths, ponds, artwork, gardens, and many places to explore. You can definitely get lost and feel away from the city here. I loved that it runs along the river and has nooks to explore. The path goes across the bridge and has amazing views at the top. There's a fun little pathway to the island and it was cool to be able to go onto the island and be that much closer to the ducks and geese. Everywhere you go has something interesting. It was also extremely clean. The park is large enough to disperse the crowd, allowing privacy. We were able to let our dog offleash to run around for a bit. Just keep in mind there are a lot of people and dogs walking around, though. Around under the bridge, we did see some sketchy folks. Be careful not to lean on the railings because there were tons of webs AND the owner of those webs! I'm talking about a spider in between almost every railing. Parking was easy. We mapped it to ABP and it took us to a free parking lot with a lot of empty spaces. Overall, the park was a great escape from the city. Sunsets are so beautiful with the reflections and serene sound of the water.

There was no way we were coming to Tracktown and not going for a run. Of course, in my dreams it…read morewould have been in Hayward Field but I'm not a track star (that's my son). I'm a distance runner so outdoor on a gorgeous trail suits me perfectly! I knew I wanted to hit Pre's Trail and now I wish we'd gone more than once. This was such a lovely loop, I could have easily done it 3-4x. The longest distance is 4 miles. If you're a marathoner one loop isn't going to cut it for a majority of your needs but it's really nice out here. The trees were all changing colors, we spotted some gorgeous birds and I LOVE birds. It made my entire morning and I'm glad I got to experience it with my bestie. I've been cycling 300+ miles a week lately and it really felt good to get out of the saddle and move my legs in a different way. It's almost marathon training time for me, so getting out on Pre's Trail helped jump start my transition into incorporating my running back into my daily routine. If I lived nearby I'd be here daily for walks and runs. Beautiful park.

Unlike other reviewers, I was not attacked by any dogs here, so maybe that gives me an unnecessarily rosy view of this place, but to me it represents one of the many small, wonderful green spaces that Eugene seems to have in abundance. There are a number of fruit trees here which are gorgeous in spring, along with signs explaining the various plants and the interesting history of this particular plot of land. Definitely a great excuse to get outside and have a picnic somewhere new.

Lady , it seems unfair i now have to fear to the point i have to consider to carry a weapon in the meadow now as a result of you using your dog as a weapon against me . If your dog is off the leash , you make the whole meadow unsafe for public use even those strange to you . . i was completely innocently in a walking meditation when you refused to contain your dog and now im frightened but i dont want be a the price to pay for you to feel safe . Its folly anyway as attacking another is the surest way escalate conflict making both of truly less safe .managing your fear is your job and sharing a public space is a learning opportunity , maybe including me is your challenge , work on it .

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.

This would be a place to walk to if you lived in the area but otherwise most people probably wouldn't come here if it was out of their way. You can walk through the trees and explore a quiet nature setting but other than that there's not much else to do here. I do appreciate how in Eugene there are many different parks around the city for people to enjoy. It makes it easy for locals to enjoy going outside no matter what neighborhood they live in!

It's basically an open field with a few nice picnic tables. The land boundary choices are a little odd, there is a beautiful river surrounding the park but you can't get to it because the entirety of the park is fenced in. I can almost picture the city planners in their meeting saying "Yess.... yess.. this is the perfect place for a park. We can give people a place to enjoy nature, and also not enjoy it too much at the same time!".

This community cherished garden/park is definitely a local treasure. I spoke to a woman who told me that this park was made in the 80's with help from tons of local volunteers which makes it even more special! I love how the Whiteaker neighborhood is really the most community oriented neighborhood in Eugene. There is a nice soft rubber surface under the play structure and paved walking paths which are nice for those who are in wheelchairs or just need a flat surface to walk on. I love the beautiful trees that surround this place as well!
