Yesterday was International Geocaching Day, so Dale and I headed out to find a cache. One of the closest to home was located on the edge of Petersen Park. So we got a two-fer: a geocache and a visit to a new-to-us park.
This park is big. It has a very nice bark-covered half-mile walking trail. We saw lots of folks out walking their dogs that morning.
Along the trail, the Eugene Public Library has set up a StoryWalk. There are 16 of these stations, each with a part of this picture book. So you can walk the trail with your kids, and read the story along the way. What a wonderful concept!
Most of the park is open space, dedicated to soccer. There are four or five sets of soccer nets around the park.
There's also a baseball diamond, complete with stands and nearby picnic tables for the onlookers.
But this baseball diamond looks like it hasn't had much action for a while. It's quite overgrown, though the crows seem to like it.
Near the entrance to the park you'll find this basketball court.
Toward the center of all those soccer fields is this bright blue play area, complete with climbing structures, a slide, and a swing set.
There's plenty of picnic table seating here, too.
I'll wager a bet that this park sees a lot of action in the Spring during soccer season. Perhaps Dale and I will make a return visit then.
