Skinner Butte Park & RiverPlay Playground

Skinner Butte Park sprawls along the Willamette River and is adjacent downtown Eugene. Hike or drive to the top of the butte for panoramic views of Eugene. The park includes historical monuments, a rock wall popular with climbers, a rose garden and miles of cycling paths. At RiverPlay Discovery Village Playground children can scale a play replica of Skinner Butte, uncover fossils at an ancient history sand dig and cool off under a giant rain circle.
