Outdoor Activities
Here’s my favorite list of parks, outdoor venues, craft and food fairs, playgrounds, dog parks, whatever you can enjoy outside in Eugene.

Great dog park on the west side of Eugene. Has a large enclosure for small dogs and two large areas for bigger dogs. Water available for pups but not much shade when it’s hot.
Candlelight park
The famous University of Oregon Ducks live here in Eugene. Home games are lots of fun and super crowded, always. Other events are held at the stadium in summer. Sometimes you get to meet the players and get autographs too!
