The only downsides are there are no restrooms and the swings are a bit too low to the ground. My 5 year olds feet kept dragging on the ground as she was swinging.

Nice neighborhood park, mostly a big grassy field with a pathway, popular for dog walkers. There is…read morea smaller playground area on the south side of the park with four swings (including two infant/toddler ones), a slide structure, teeter totter, and picnic tables. While there are trees in the park and surrounding, I feel like on a very sunny day there wouldn't be very much shade for reprieve from the heat. A small public parking lot is available off of Irvington Dr for this park, but it seems like most people just park on the street near the south end of the park (likely people with kids for the lay area). No restroom facilities. My daughter and I have been checking out as many new playgrounds as possible to find our favorite one. I wouldn't say this is it, but bonus points for the cleanliness of this public park, at least the day we visited.

This is a cute little park in the River Road area of Eugene. It has a couple benches, small play…read morestructure, big grass area, teeter totter and swings. It's right in a neighborhood with houses and street parking. While it's not the most exciting park, it's nice to take little kids here and isn't too crazy on the weekends. It's kept pretty clean but there isn't any sand, only wood chips and grass with some concrete paths. There are two tables you can have lunch or snacks at as well. It seems pretty quiet in this neighborhood and very safe for families.

Every trip, we try to go on a few hikes and this year one we chose was Skinner's Butte in Eugene…read more It's easy to get to with plenty of free parking in the parks surrounding it. There are easy walking paths and multiple trails going up and down different sides. It was a cloudy day, but pleasant for walking. At the top are different lookout points with benches, picnic tables, etc., perfect for great views as you explore the area. The most fun part was the natural climbing wall on the one side. It has its own dedicated lot as well. Portions are closed, but most have permanent fixture points for climbing rope. Definitely a fun free activity if you're into climbing. This is a great free and active activity on your next trip here.

While visiting a friend we decided to go for a little walk and stumbled across Creekside Park. This…read morepark is located right on the edge of north Eugene but if you live in this area it's a great park to take the kids or just walk around in on a nice day. I think this park has one of the most modern, fun and safe play structures I have seen in a while. I'm a nanny part time so I'm always taking the kids I watch to different parks to keep things interesting so I see a lot of different playgrounds. I saw a bunch of kids playing in a cool water area with water pumps which seemed super fun and a great way to keep them occupied. There is also a bike path here which can be for walking or biking through the park. I love how there is also a big field if you want to throw a ball around or play some corn hole!

The ground covering is wood chips and there is no sand which is a plus if like me you don't like bringing home souvenirs from the park in your kiddos' shoes. The only down side was that the slides are not shaded and can get hot in the summer sun.

There are multiple ponds with a nicely kept wood chip path going around the largest one, lots of trees and wildlife to spot (all kinds of birds, fish, turtles sunning themselves in summer).
