A
great
view
of
the
river
along
the
freeway.
Lined
with
trees
on
either
side,
sizeable
parking
areas,
bathrooms,
and
a
decent
dog
park
(my
recommendations
only
concern
the
Happy
Tails
dog
park
and
the
footpath
beyond).
The
dog
park
is
a
decent
size
for
running
through,
with
plenty
of
trees
for
shade
and
benches
to
watch
from.
Near
the
entrance
there
are
faucets
for
water
and
some
buckets/a
plastic
pool
members
of
the
community
have
kindly
provided.
Plastic
bags
are
available
at
the
entrance
in
order
to
clean
up
after
your
dogs
during
your
time
there,
with
trash
cans
placed
about
the
park.
As
it's
along
the
river,
the
park
will
flood
during
the
Winter/rainy
seasons
here.
This
collapses
the
fencing,
which
is
propped
back
up
when
possible.
Along
the
outside
of
the
park
is
a
paved
footpath
leading
to
Micelli
Park,
which
makes
for
a
short,
pleasant
walk.
Pros:
•
Water
access
•
Wide,
open
space
•
Good
mix
of
grass,
dirt,
shade,
and
sun
•
Beautiful
view
•
Disposable
bags
for
waste
clean-up
•
Bathrooms
•
Great
running
conditions
Spring/Summer/Fall
•
Well-populated
from
midday
to
afternoon,
sparse
in
early
mornings
and
evenings.
Cons:
•
Dogs
not
always
cleaned
up
after
•
Flooding
in
Winter
and
early
Spring
•
River
water
(namely
in
Summer).
Do
not
let
your
dog
drink
from
the
river.
The
South
Umpqua
isn't
exactly
pristine
due
to
slow
water
and
algae,
this
can
result
in
illness.
That
last
one
is
a
huge
downer
unfortunately,
but
as
Happy
Tails
isn't
open
to
the
water,
it
doesn't
affect
it
too
much.
It's
quite
lovely
in
the
Spring
(attached
photos
taken
on
two
separate
days
in
late
April
and
early
May).
