Ive only been to the dog park during the winter. Its a good size fenced park. They have a hose inside but it is very muddy. If you bring a few towels your pups gonna have a great timeUpdate Even better when not totally muddy. My favorite dog park in Eugene.

Favorite dog park in the city. Big open acreage and lots of friendly humans. Give a day after rain it does get a touch muddy.

Fascinating learning about SenMORSE and his family.The Caretaker on the Family Farm also a Teacher was full of historic info making me think...while making me feel comfortable on the grounds and in the Senators historic house... where sits amongst various memorabilia and a bust of Morse his worn Senate Office chairSen. Morse was my dads young law professor at the Univ. of Oregon in the 1930s. Morse became a coveted U.S. Senator in the 1950s known for his outspoken integrity - thus nicknamed. The Tiger in the SenateIf U visit Eugene consider a little road trip to this Morse Family Farm The beautiful natural grounds may have some interesting events going too or just take a little picnic basket full of goodies and bask in the Nature and history there

Beautiful spot with forest paths just beware of poison oak As for the dog park its a huge space for the pups to run and well maintained. Lots of friendly dog owners but quite a few who are not interested in their dog socializing with other pups. This can get a little complicated as many of these folks have intact dogs so just a 3 star review for this otherwise lovely park.

This is the best dog park in town. Three large interconnected fields and the crowds are minimal. Dogs here are pretty well behaved and it is never crowded. Watering Station is well kept and three kid pools available to keep your pup cool.
