The best dog park in Eugene! If your dog likes to romp with other pups, they will love this place. But if they're more of a sniff-and-stroll-alone type, then they'll be happy too.

Aside from the wonderful dog park, there is a picnic shelter and large field that can be rented for events, and you can also rent Wayne Morse's former house for events. The shelter has a nice fireplace available any time, and if you rent it you get the use of a basic kitchen and also some equipment for outdoor games. In the summer the city runs an outdoor day camp for kids up to age 11 or so. They get to run around in the forest, and go out of town to do fun things once a week. My daughter loved it! This park has no play equipment but if you cross the road by the driveway the short street there has a sweet little park for kids at the end. One of my fave...
