Maurie Jacobs Park — Attraction in Eugene

A absolutely gorgeous park along the south side of the Willamette River, which is a part of a vast interconnected park system through Eugene.

Connect directly from here to Delta Ponds, Owen Rose Garden, many Community gardens and Centers, Skinner Butte Park, Kiwanis Park, City Hall, and even Alton Baker Park and Autzen Stadium of the University of Oregon.

This may be the most expensive park and path system I've ever seen and experienced in my life, especially right in the middle of the city, and is the way all cities should treat their rivers.

There is also trash cans places every so often which is great if you decide to pick up the trash you find along the way, as well as drinking fountains places every mile or so.

But I wonder where it is the city thinks they go after theyve been told to leave or they'll be fined and cited for trespassing, when they aren't legally trespassing camping there. The last time I checked city codes don't surpass the constitution. From my observation and previous experiences as someone who was homeless in Eugene they go from being out of sight out of mind to camped in front of all the businesses I...

This is one of many parks in Eugene, Oregon. There is a large parking lot accessible from River road. It features a playground, soccer field, and restrooms.

There is also a foot bridge here that carries you over the river and to Eugene's mall, the Valley River Center and to the bike path that runs along that side of the...
