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.

Tiny Tots is located within a church, but they are NOT affiliated and only rent the space. It is also a co-op, which means in addition to paying to join (very reasonable fee) you are required to complete a handful of duties to help keep things running smoothly here, but I think the extra commitment is fair and easy to do. It is only open/available from September - June, coinciding with the regular school year

At 11 months, he can't yet play with all of the toys, but he loves all of the open space to crawl and the soft blocks to climb on. He also really loves watching and following the bigger kids around. As a parent, I love having a playground that is safe and never too crowded as well as indoors when the weather is bad. I have gotten a few other families to join because it is nice to meet up there. We can relax a bit while the kids play rather than hosting a playdate at our houses. I also really like that it is a non-profit run by the parents and that it is co-op style, so everyone pitches in to keep the playground clean and well-run. It is nice to have a space we are all invested in.

If Yelp had been around to check in when I was growing up, I'd probably be the Duchess for life here. Duchess emeritus. Whatever. Tandy Turn Park is embedded in so many of my childhood memories that it will always evoke a smile, a fond memory, and a little bit of wishfulness to go back and hold fast to those memories. The park is located at the end of Tandy Turn, which dead ends on this side. It's a good sized park with plenty of grass for playing, parties, picnics, and so on. The playground equipment includes a merry-go-round, slide, swings, and a few other pieces of equipment. There's a picnic table or two as well, but not a lot of benches outside those. I'm not sure if the ground is barn mulch (old school from when I was a kid) or one of those manufactured safety surfaces that are often in parks now. This park is one in Eugene that feels more like a secret, and is certainly more secluded, because you can't just drive by it; both streets that lead to it are dead ends. You have to know it's there, which is probably why it's usually very quiet and is almost exclusively people from the neighborhood. My sister and I often played or had our birthday parties here (birthday parties were mostly her domain; my birth month has always been iffy when it comes to good weather in Oregon) when our mom, sister, and I lived with my grandparents for a few years (they lived in a home one house down from the park for about 40). My mom then lived in the home for another 15 years after they passed away, before she sold the home in 2017. What actually makes me the saddest about having sold the home is that to go to this park we would have to drive there and park, and there's not a parking lot so folks would be parked in front of people's homes. However, so many areas are connected easily to this park--Tandy Turn, Sharon Way, and that web of streets; and there's a path from Tandy Turn to Lariat Drive and that collection of streets. Tandy Turn Park represents a bit of my childhood that I won't be able to capture again in the same way, with my own children should I have them or with friends and family, and along with that memories of my grandma or grandpa walking down to tell us to come home, or my grandparents neighbors keeping watch over us since there's not (or wasn't at the time) a fence separating them from the park, just some landscaping. I am sad to lose that deep, half-century family connection; my mom and uncle were young enough when my grandparents moved to Oregon that they may have played and/or hung out here, too, or maybe were there when the park was created (my mom has shared that this area of Eugene was not nearly as developed in the 1960's, and much of it was still farmland). Perhaps my strongest memory related to the park is of my older step-cousin (who I'd always thought was so cool) taking us down here when it was raining and sliding down the twisty slide in the rain; I wonder if she remembers that. It reminds me of warm afternoons playing with my sister; occasionally Danielle, Jessica, Annie, and sometimes Trevor, Justin, Richard, and Christina and Charity; of our house being the place we'd run for water or a bathroom break since we were by far the closest; of sliding down the incredibly hot metal twisty slide in the summer because it we loved it too much not to; of hiding in the evergreens that line the edge of the park when we're playing hide and seek; of taking turns being the one who had to push the merry-go-round as fast as it would go whilst the others hung on for dear life (or sometimes tried to show off and stand up with no hands as it swung as fast as we could make it go); or of pumping and pumping to swing as high as we could and then taking a leap! Even memories of my young, over-imaginative self being afraid at night of what might happen in the park or hearing ghosts from there are now unexpectedly comforting. Wrapping up what will probably be my most sentimental Yelp review ever, I better not forget to say that there are no facilities at this park: If you visit, best do so with an empty bladder. And although it is not a dog park, you will see dogs here and walking through the park with their owners since the park connects Sharon/Woodside/Buff to Tandy Turn and even Lariat by way of the park. Enjoy your time here.

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.

My boys are grown now, but from what I recall the swim lessons were not too badly priced, and they loved going to them. When they hit the middle school ages they wanted me to drop them off at the wave pool with their friends! Ah ha! Had to throw that one in there. They loved the snack bar, and always came out with goodies. Hopefully they have healthier snacks now. But hey, it is a place for the littles to have fun. So enjoy while they are still young.
