The park is perfect for a walk or run. You can start out in the park, run along the river abd turn back into the park. The park is very clean. We like the sculptures which indicate the sizes of the planets and their distance to the sun.

This park is great for bike riding, fishing, jogging, walking, picnicking, sitting by the pond feeding the ducks and geese, enjoying the dog park with your furry family members, group outings under the pavilion, local events or just enjoying the outdoors at this easy to find midtown park. We walk our dogs on the paths and take them to the... More

I love going to the ponds to see the ducks, geece and swans. There is fishing allowed, mainly trout. This is a great place to have any kind of party weather permitted, they have a cool trail to follow too.

This is a great resource for the city. The kids loved the play area. We have been here many times, but never when the water has been turned on for the water table.

A great get-away that's just minutes from the city center. Walking paths, bike paths, play areas, canoe/kayak rental and plenty of open, green space... all on the banks of the beautiful Willamette River.

We go there alot for the dog park, probably the best in town, but theres also mile of trails that connect to other parks all over town the model solar system starts here near the pond. There an outdoor theater, a community garden, boat ramp, canoe canal and lots of grassy areas to play.

One of the best dog parks in the city. Both human and pet can have fun and explore. One note though if your new it is easy to get turned around (aka lost) in the park. I would also stay away during a Ducks game day. Be aware there are homeless around, they don't bother you. However, it can look... More

Alton Baker Park is a wonderful place to relax, out doors, in a city. Just a nice park with lots of activities and special events throughout the year.
