    This place offers a wide variety of diversity in types of hiking available. You can choose to hike in the fields, woods, forests, next to the river, or in wetlands. There are wide fairly flat paths that could accommodate wheelchairs. There are steep Meandering paths through forests, and fields up the mountainsides with beautiful views overlooking the valley containing Eugene.

    Beautiful place to explore. Lots of hiking trail options that go around the base of Pisgah as well as options to go up.

    Great park with lots of interesting exhibits. I recommend the wetlands exhibit. I really wish there were some trails for bikes though, especially around the base of mountain where it would be less disruptive for hikers.

    Lots of hiking, views, bird watching, and people. Horse trails available on backside of the Mt. . There are a Swing, benches, river access, swimming, good trees for hammocks, and a map of the valley at the top. There is rentable large open areas for events. Parking cost money and they do ticket.

    This is one of my favorite places to hike and enjoy the scenery. There are trails for all level. The arboretum offers multiple trails so you can see many different aspects of the park. For instance you can sit on a bench and watch the willamette river flow by.

    Great swimming spot in the summer, gun for all ages. During the spring it's a great place to explore and see a variety of plants and flowers bloom.

    It's a beautiful place. Lots of walking paths and located along the river. A great place to go hiking or swimming. Lots of amazing wildflowers and large mature trees. Would love to see them focus on removing more of the conifers that have invaded the oak habitat. It is very popular place so it can be busy. Best times are in the early morning.

    1 of our best parks to visit, I only wish it was free to park, more often, for us broke folks, which I often am & can't afford to go🐢😞

    I was trail riding on the east side trail #2 at 1PM on July 19 when a fast moving gray car came blasting down the mountain headed right toward me and my startled horse. He spun in terror and fell in a gully but I stayed on. His legs are pretty scratched up but I think he's OK. They were probably volunteers with no training regarding equestrian trail safety.

    I do love this park. However, I prefer hiking where I don't have to step down the side of a cliff, either solo or with a kid or pet, to give right -of -way to people on horses. Some people aren't that patient while you try to find a thorn free, stinging insect free place to stand off the trail. Nice thing is trails are marked well so you know what you are getting into - not all of the trails are fully shared-use. It is also excruciatingly sunny in spots but the view can make up for it at times.

    One of our absolute favorite places. My husband and I got married here 6 years ago and get most of our family photos taken there yearly. There are so many great areas for different photo options. We also love all of the hiking trails around the area. There are SO MANY options to choose from and all of them are beautiful. You really can't go wrong with anything you choose to do hear.
