Nos. 2-7 meander out and into the humid park air. No. 1 returns, and No. 2 heads for the Bucket. Then No. 3. Nos. 4-7 stare at each other with icky faces, and when all have returned with Purelled hands, we stand in a circle next to one of the cars. Quiet. Awkward. We jump from face to face and then stare at our shoes. The other car, with its door open, and we listen to Stevie Nicks. A tan and perky lady walks by...she's inevitably going to share the germ-invested fate of 1-3. "How's the Honey Bucket?" she asks, and laughs. "Well," says No. 4, "it's always better with Fleetwood Mac."

From wonderful events like Fall…read moreFestival to DaVince Days to ordinary play dates in the playground, this is a beautiful, special park. You ever have the feeling that two simultaneous lives might suit you? That's how I feel about this park and about Corvallis in general. I love this peaceful town. This park embodies the beautiful and calm spirit of Corvallis. Alas, I only return here 3-4 times a year, but it's always satisfying.

I am so thankful there is a dog park by Oregon State for my dog to run around in! Most of the…read morefenced in area is covered in bark chips with a few exceptions of grass around the outer edges. There are plenty of benches for dog owners to sit on and a water spigot and water buckets and a kiddy pool for dogs to drink water and play in. Every time I have gone I've met lovely and responsible dog owners. I've never had any issues with aggressive or reactive dogs. The regulars at this dog park seem very friendly and nice. I wouldn't recommend bringing your dog here if it is pouring down rain outside. The park can get really muddy very quickly. On several occasions I've left with my dog covered in mud! But otherwise a really nice fenced area for dogs!

This is our 109th dog park. We travel for weeks at a time all over and need the dog to get out…read more I really like this park maybe because it could use a little help and I like fixing my dog parks. Two sections, but doesn't seem like "small" dog section gets used much Water Bags Trash Picnic tables and benches Lots of shade (it was 93 degrees today) Good parking Fenced with 6 foot black cyclone fencing Double gates I wish kiddie pools were not brought in. If you must get an aluminum hot water heater tray. That is all dogs need, any aged person can refresh the water, and they don't break when dogs stand on top of them. On top of it they have a hole to chain and lock the tray up. Easy! People don't refresh the pool water as there is too much to dump it, or it breaks the pool to dump it. Then dogs drink and stand in nasty water. If dogs get sick on anything in dog park it will be water!! When pools are flipped over then dogs stand on them and break them. Then there is nasty water underneath. Do us all a favor, if you fill pools dump them away from the area the pools sit in (there are buckets - water the poor trees, whatever) and then get some wood chips and soak extra water up with a bucket of wood chips. It took me 5 minutes to get three buckets of chips from around the edges where the chips are breaking the fences. Ask the city to put in a percolator pit of rocks that will drain easy. I ask Scott's Valley to do it and they did!! They probably have rocks already so then just send a city worker with a bobcat to dig the hole and it's pretty much done! I wish the side single gate had a lock on it. Want to go next door? Walk around. I don't want me dog being let out into the other section. What's the point of a separate section if someone lets my dog into other section? It's STANDARD protocol to lock single gates. I liked it here. It has lots going for it.

Best public disc golf course in Corvallis city limits. Well, I guess that's not saying much, but…read moreya know.... It was at one point, and probably still is, the most played course in the State of Oregon. So if you go during the busy times during busy season, you'll get a chance to practice your patience. Usually a large group will let a twosome play through. Some doofuses, not so much. You might just have to skip a hole if you want to move along. The course is fairly wide open, but a skilled player can still manage to lose discs. Ask me how I know. Watch your errant throws; all the roads and areas past the little puffy plastic markers are out of bounds to help keep people walking in the park safe. Let's go play! I have a tee time reserved for... well, whenever I get there. I'll be the guy with the round platters of plastic cussing at myself for the drive off the first hole tee box.

But you can also just play it cautiously as needed and you should be fine. It's also a blast watching the pro's hurl their discs through the air like some sort of olympic champions. And if you happen to be here in August there are LOTS of blackberry's you can pick for nourishment. And believe me, if you're doing the entire 18-hole course, you'll need it!! As far as the rest of the park goes, there's lots and lots of space to run around, lots of people with their dogs. They have one of the better playground structures for kids. There are park benches, and some of those stand-up grill pits to cook in. An easy park to overlook b/c of it's location, but definitely worth a trip, particularly for the disc golf experience!
