    Rv and car

    Armitage Park Campground 11:30am Thursday Nov. 10th 2022 Oregon tag on car: Ztq364 White male approx. mid to late 30's, 6'0-6'3" 280lbs Site 10 Spent an hour or so gathering our laundry and shower things, readying the van for the day and finishing coffee. En route to the dump station we were going camp speed so less than 5 since we were approaching the dump station. As we stopped a car behind us honked and moved around us. There was a dip to pull into for the dump station as well as an entire road to move around. I got out to do the trash and noted the car pulled into site 10 across from the dump station. A male (described above) exited the vehicle, appearing to be the only one inside and proceeded to shout at me. He reprimanded me for driving slow, for him almost hitting me etc when I explained that he must have been tailgating because none of that would have taken place if he was 2 car links behind he escalated and called me a few amazing things. Both about my intelligence level and weight.... I tried several times to end the "conversation" as I was vulnerable trying to empty trash, the toilet etc and he continued to make threats. Telling me he was going to handle it, he was going to show me mad etc when I said to please stop yelling he interjected with, "this isn't yelling!! You want to see me yelling?!" all of the cliche things that I'm sure make him feel strong. He threatened my life a few times until finally I abandoned my task and immediately went to the park host who wasn't at their station (extremely limited hours) but was available over the phone. I parked outside of their RV and called for assistance. The park host is an older couple and as I was talking to the husband of the pair I could hear the wife saying, "don't go out there!!" at this time the damn guy comes up in his car and has been following me this whole time... he menacingly glared and drove by all slow and went right back to his spot. I assume he was getting my license plate number. Terrified I let the park host know we weren't staying and that we were unable to use any amenities because this guy is a serious threat, the host responded, "I don't blame you for leaving!" I hung up with the host who was now probably barricaded in their own RV and called the sheriffs office. They dispatched a deputy who came out pretty quickly and said he was really familiar with the park. Not sure if that's because he gets calls often or because he visits often. He spoke with the guy who in his words was still combative and confrontational and at this point on the phone with his therapist... The deputy said the guy was probably having a bad day and let it out on us and that he didn't want to escalate the situation, impound his RV, have the guy be temporarily put out and deal with impound fees etc... while the deputy was extremely kind to me it was also disappointing to have my life threatened, be stalked through a campground, not have equal access to a space I paid to be in and now find ourselves leaving and having to find another place to go when we planned to be at this location for a few days. I'm tired of fragile masculinity and I'm tired of men like this not learning lessons and continuing to terrorize people and get away with it. It's hard to not allow your free will to be challenged when we're literally leaving and changing our trip because of this one insignificant yet dangerous person.

    One of the more private sites.

    We enjoy staying at this campsite. Its a beautiful location. Most of the sites are pretty ones and well maintained. The facilities (laundry and restroom) are well taken care of and the laundry is cheap. There is a dog park onsite. The camp hosts can be hit and miss however, we have not experienced any terrible service.

    This is a typical RV spot with a lot of room for stretching.

    Nice, clean, plenty of space, close to river, easy on/ off Highway 5, but you do hear some freeway noise.

    Hendricks Park - Entrance to Park

    Hendricks Park

    (38 reviews)

    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.

I grew up in the Cal Young area or Santa Clara, so I wasn't very often in this part of town and though Eugene isn't a huge city, you can easily not hit other areas of town. Hendricks Park is the oldest park in the city. It's mostly known as a rhododendron garden, but it has native plants as well. There are trails throughout for you to explore the place. It's really peaceful and beautiful when the weather is nice, and you'll forget you're in the city.

    Skinner's Butte Park - Willamette River

    Skinner (not Skinner's) Butte Park is the the location of the homestead of Eugene's founder, named…read moreEugene Skinner, and is one of the city's oldest parks. It's a large park right on the banks of the Willamette River and offers a variety of activities. There's the playground, RiverView Discovery Village, which is fairly large and has some pretty cool. It has various structures for kids to play on and around, representing storefronts, a stagecoach, and so on. There's the typical slides and swings and stuff that you'll find at a playground as well. They also have a "splash pad", which is a circular pipe sticking out of the ground about 10 feet, but it does spray so I guess it's something. The park fronts the river, and although the playground is not immediately on the bank of the river it's close enough that you'll want to keep a close watch on your children (every year there are tragedies along the Willamette). There is no fencing or anything around the playground, which seems like a no-brainer in this location but I guess not, and that's why I give the three-star rating instead of four. It's just a really nerve-wracking park especially for parents of small children. There could be more picnic tables around the playground... there's at least three, but that may be it. There's lots of green space for folks to spread out on the grass as well, which several people were doing whilst we were here celebrating my daughter's birthday. There was a drum circle that showed up about 20 minutes before we left as well and that was kinda cool. Part of the general park area are the Columns, remnants of a basalt quarry that existed for a few decades in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a pretty popular spot for rock climbing. It's a short distance from the playground area. I went with a class as a middle schooler and was not too keen on climbing myself. Then there's the titular Butte, which one can hike to the top or drive. I've never hiked up myself, but the drive is sometimes closed to traffic when fires are a concern. There are biking trails, a community garden, and the Campbell Senior Center is on the eastern edge of the park as well. There are bathrooms here, and although I didn't go into them my sister and friend did and apparently they're kinda weird--no doors on the stalls. I suppose that must be some sort of safety measure? It's fairly odd, regardless. There's a fairly decent sized parking lot to the east of the playground as well, and parking along the southern end of the park (at the base of the Butte).

    It's always a nice time at Skinner's Butte Park no matter what time of year it is. A little colder…read moreon the path by the river, but still a breath of fresh air!

    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.
