    Great park! Toys for the kids, great place to picnic! Hike to the top or drive, beautiful view of downtown Eugene! You can also walk along the river. The bike trail also runs through the park...

    The big playground at the base of the butte by the river is really awesome. Huge jungle gym that looks like the Butte, an old west town, huge sandbox where kids can dig for fossils and water features

    Hike here when (if ever) it snows in Eugene. At night. Do this and experience the park in a romanticized light.

    The butte is part of a bald eagle's fishing and cruising territory. Watch for it when you're up there. You can usually get a fairly close look of it flying around.

    From the parking lot at the top of the butte, take in the view to the south, then look down the side of the butte. Familiar university logo, isn't it? Read more
