Overview

About this park

After decades of visioning, the City of Eugene has fulfilled a long-held goal of turning the former EWEB utility operations yard into a vibrant, active, and accessible riverfront park that reconnects Downtown to the Willamette River and serves as a regional destination.

Funding for the Downtown Riverfront Park development comes from the 2018 Parks and Recreation Bond , Urban Renewal Agency funds and Public Works capital funds.

Ongoing maintenance of the park is being funded by the 2018 Parks and Recreation Levy. For

Setting

Landscape & setting

The three-acre Downtown Riverfront Park is urban in character balanced by riverbank and habitat enhancements.
