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.

This coming from a girl who is obsessed with Cranberry bogs. I just love all things farming. I found us the largest orchard to visit in the Eugene area and it was spectacular. We came after brunch and walked around for a good while, admiring several of the orchards and trails. If I lived in the area I'd be here every single day. I typically walk 6-8 miles a day and nearly everyone here had a four legged friend with them, it felt like a little slice of heaven on earth. The trails were so peaceful and serene, the river flowing through in the back. It was complete tranquility. Great bird watching too! It's hard to believe a place so beautiful is free. I am most appreciative for the opportunity to spend some time here.

So far responsible pet owners. Huge big dog area next to it. The only downside for being on a roadtrip is no facilities for the humans. There is a closed up building at the parking lot but no bathrooms. My tip is park at Albertsons and use their bathroom. Then cross the street and there is a small underpass for pedestrians to get over to the park. About 5-8 min drive off the highway.

I myself had this concern but this is my second visit and decided to share this hidden gem. Parking is limited and I mean limited. Hopefully I'm as lucky the 3rd time when visiting Zumwalt. I don't want to figure out where to park offsite. Once your parked and ready to go you'll notice a roadway however the gate is locked for any motor vehicle to drive on. This is a plus since many dog owners take dogs off leash and walk down this road to get to main area of park. The park is huge but keep in mind to those sensitive dog owners who don't want any dogs near their precious dog this is an open park. No secured areas for small dogs. Go at your own risk. I think because of the large open property there is less anxiety for the dogs because they don't feel trapped. Three things you'll find, water to swim, open green grass to run, and trails to walk your dog off leash which I really find fun since most trails require dog to be on leash. That being said, if you found this post keep it hush hush to ourselves (LOL). I shared some photos and videos of the lake, trails and park. Hope this helps. By the way the water had light waves but yesterday the water was calm. Enjoy and let me know how it went

I've come to really like this dog park. It's much bigger than it looks when you drive by. There are…read moretwo "all dog" areas and another for just small dogs (under 25lbs). In the winter/spring months it does get VERY muddy and there's no shade for the hot days of summer, so plan accordingly. Parking is just along the street (Throne Drive) but easy. The doggy bag stations always seem to be stocked, though the two water outlets are testy and not always working.

That being said this place is a business and not a standard "dog park" like I thought it was. But Shannon (owner) was very understanding and went above and beyond all my expectations of a paid for dog experience. I have traveled coast to coast with my dog and never have come across a better experience with my dog. Yes you do pay a small entry fee but with the equipment/toys she has makes it worth every penny. I wish there was something like this close to my house. Highly recommend.

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).
