Winding along the Willamette river, Alton baker park's bike path is scenic, and safe. For kids, the playground is super. More

Right on the Willamette River, very nice pond and rock garden with ducks and geese. Great for picnics, children, frisbees. Always busy but never crowded. More

Jogging trails, rose gardens, ponds, benches, river view, it has just about everything and occasionally art shows. It is the heart of the Eugene mentality, if you love Autzen you are here. The trails are especially nice, paved so you can bike or walk. Views are great, its free, parking is somewhat limited, but it is on bus lines, and... More

Alton Baker is a convenient park, near the heart of downtown. It's right on the Willamette River and offers a nice location for walkers, runners and bikers, There are, however, a lot of birds. With said birds, comes poop. It's hard to find an area to walk, sit or lay out a blanket. Great place in the summer and another... More

We took our kids here to feed/see the ducks. A great location for this as there were TONS of birds. Ducks, geese, seagulls and more geese. Some of them are aggressive so be careful with small children. Nicely maintained park. More

I live near there and have to the park many, many times. It is located on the Willamette River and there are bike and pedestrian paths along the river; benches to sit on and watch the river, covered picnic tables, and a pond that is frequented by local ducks, geese and nutria. It is walking distance to the Autzen Dog... More

We have had lots of fun at the park. The geese and ducks are fun to watch and it is near Pre's trail so it is a nice place to rest and eat after some exercise. More

My family and I just arrived home from Eugene. We took two of our dogs on the trip. I had seen the dog park at Alton Baker on a previous trip, so I knew that we would be taking our dogs for some much needed exercise. It's so fun to watch all the dogs run and play in a secure,... More
