    A large, immaculately clean workout facility with all that you need, including a professional and…read morefriendly staff. Oh, and a coffee bar. Monthly fees are on par with the rest of the local gyms, (about $30/monthly for basic). New member deals might be a nice incentive for management to consider. Or rewards for Yelp reviews. Just sayin. Individual TVs for most equipment and all equipment is clean and in good working order. I've found that mid-afternoon (2:30p - 4:00p) is a great time to workout without much fanfare. Other gym members that I've encountered are respectful and considerate...except for two guys that run on the treadmill while insisting on simultaneously having a conversation they barely have breath for...you know who you are. Very pleased with my membership here and the way I've never felt out of place or unwelcome. You'll be happy too. Except when those two guys are yell-talking on the treadmill about their buddy Jim from marketing with the new jet skis. But I digress.

    I am writing to report serious cleanliness and safety concerns at the spa. Over the past two…read moremonths--while visiting daily--I observed persistent mold around the rim of the spa, on the walk-in support handle, and on the window sills. I have never seen the sauna or hot tub room cleaned during that time. On two occasions I became extremely ill after visits and feared for my health. I asked staff who were cleaning the steam room to address the hot tub area and window sills, but they failed to do so. I also discovered a large clump of pubic hair in the public steam room, which is unacceptable. Despite maintaining my membership and returning sporadically to check for improvements, conditions have only worsened. Additionally, I experienced disrespectful and inappropriate behavior from other patrons while in the sauna: I was mocked, whistled at, and even approached in a way that felt like harassment. I witnessed underage girls making advances toward patrons, which is deeply troubling for a facility that should be safe and peaceful. These issues indicate a pattern of poor cleanliness practices and inadequate supervision. I will be reporting these concerns to the local health department. I urge management to address sanitation practices, staff training, and patron conduct immediately to ensure the facility is safe and welcoming for all guests. Most of the equipment has been poorly maintained and or is broken as well. Its best to be honest so here you go, this place has a sign in the front of the building saying they have the finest spa in the area, not true.

    Speaking strictly of the weightlifting part of Dixon - it's not bad. In short, the equipment is new…read moreand in good shape, but the gym is severely undersized, and lacking a good range of equipment. You'll find yourself pacing around looking for a bench, or a rack. I often end up doing standing exercises, because standing space is all that's left in the dumbbell area. I've seen crowds hover for the chance at getting a power rack, or lines form for several machines, such as the one and only seated cable row, or one of two lat pulldown machines. Personally, no matter how nice the equipment is, if it's too crowded to use any of it, it might as well not be there. Dropping a weight isn't as much of a safety concern as it is getting smacked in the face by the guy standing next to you. However, all that said, it's still not a bad place to lift. They provide lifting and dip belts behind the counter. The plates are round, not hexagonal. The machines might not be lubricated often, but they're in the very least in working order. If you find a bench in the dumbbell area, most of them are adjustable from a decline, to upright. All the plates and DB's are rubber coated, which I usually don't prefer, but in a gym like this, does substantially help keep the noise level tolerable. It's got great hours - especially for the average student, a large locker room that's always got open lockers (as well as rentable ones), classes, personal trainers and nutritionists available. I have little to no input on Dixon's other amenities, other than that they also offer a pool, rock climbing area, several basketball and racquetball courts, a men's and women's sauna, cardio machine rooms, and multiple classes - all of which seem just as popular as weightlifting aforementioned. However, everything said, it could severely use an expansion.

    Please do not waste any more of your money. You would think that Oregon state would at-least let…read moreyou use the gym over the summer. What if you are taking ecampus courses? Nope. Well is there a discount that can be added to your tuition through your student account? Nope, they just want to take your credit card and slap a big bill on it for some shit management and service. I was also dress coded for "showing my ribs" while I watch atleast 3 woman wear as little clothing as possible. Do you care about your students or?

    Meh ... great pool space and attendants although not for littles in any sort of independent way…read more(of course with them, but no place for them to be safe in super shallows with you). Locker rooms are gross and lockers are expensive and often broken anyway. Don't bother. Exercise facilities ... ok if you don't need any space to do anything and can rely on machines for your workout, and need no room to really do free weights. Stretching? Hah ... good luck. If there are more than two people trying to do anything you'll have to toss a coin for navigating the space. Also why does everyone think it's ok to stand in the stairwell and have a catch up conversation as loud as outside voices? Or converse on the phone while working out?! Track is nice. Gym space is beautiful but always filled with school groups as the schools don't have enough spaces (yay for the comm center supporting local schools but also why are they not supporting their own activities?) Staff at desk has been consistently rude or at a minimum seem annoyed you're there. I don't go anymore unless the grandkids are visiting and the weather is too sucky for beach time. It's just ... meh.

    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.

    University Park is a great neighborhood place to take your kids, dogs or even just yourself for…read moresome time outside. 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.
