Roam the twelve acre rhododendron garden in Hendricks Park at the height of the season between April and May (blooms may span February to June). Towering Rhododendron plants, surrounded by walls of Douglas-fir trees show off dazzling displays of color in the springtime sun.

Just minutes away from downtown Eugene, this urban park is great for both quick weeknight excursions and lazy Sunday afternoon picnics. Stroll the park’s terraced gravel paths buzzing with spring - birds singing, lime green leaves budding and wildflowers peaking up from the ground. Located on a hill, the paths are steep but well compacted for wheelchairs. However, not all areas of the park will prove to be easily accessible. See the park brochure and map.
