A few weeks ago it was raining on Friday, so Dale and I took an unusual Friday Fieldtrip. We visited (drove by) nine of Eugene's parks. There was a lot of Fall color in the trees to enjoy.
Most of these are neighborhood parks, fairly standard with a kid's play structure, an open field, perhaps a basketball hoop and walking path.
Others are more like a nature trail or an open space with a place to walk your dog that's the home of a future developed park.
We concentrated on parks mainly in residential areas in the center of the city and included:
- Chase Commons Park
- Glen Oak Park
- Hawkins Heights
- Marche Chase Park
- Melvin Miller Park
- Tugman Park
- Warbling Creek
- Willis Park
- Willow Creek Natural Area
Occasionally we saw some wildlife.
Now that we know where they are, we can revisit each park again and spend some time enjoying them when the weather is more favorable.
