Alton Baker Park
Featuring duck ponds, trails for biking or walking and a small scale model of our solar system, Alton Baker is one of the most multi functional parks in Eugene. It was named after one of the first founders of the Register guard and is officially the largest park in Eugene. Located on the Willamette river it has many ponds, grassy lawns and picnic areas, along with various trails, one leading to the Cuthburt Amphitheater where it features outdoor musical shows. Further down the trail from Cuthburt, Autzen stadium is also accessible. The Defazio footbridge connects both sides of the Willamette and is a prime location for bicyclists. Canoes can be rented during the summer and one can catch a variety of wildlife here especially of the bird variety. Many other amusements are accessible through this park including the science factory, a dog park, a BMX bike racing path, community gardens and a rock garden.
