About Alton Baker Park

Alton Baker Park sits on the Willamette River banks across from the University of Oregon. Opened in 1959, it is the largest developed park in Eugene and covers roughly 400 acres of forest, fields, and trails. Visitors bike, run, walk, picnic, feed ducks, and walk dogs. The park also offers a disc golf course, a BMX track, a canoe canal, and an undeveloped eastern section. Concerts are held at the Cuthbert Amphitheater, and local events such as the Eugene Rotary Duck Race take place here each year.
