Crescent Park

A Quiet Neighborhood Oasis

Tucked away in the Coburg-Crescent area of north Eugene, Crescent Park is one of those peaceful escapes that locals treasure. At 2.08 acres, it's not going to compete with the city's major parks, but that's exactly what gives it its charm - a peaceful green space where you can actually hear yourself think.

The park features a simple layout: open lawns with trees scattered throughout, creating natural shade spots when the Oregon sun makes an appearance. A walking path loops around the perimeter - great for when you need to stretch your legs or clear your head without committing to a full-blown hike.

Something for Everyone

If you've got kids in tow, the compact play area sits at the heart of the park with its wood chip base keeping falls a little less dramatic. The playground works for children of different ages, allowing siblings to play together.

Right next to the playground, you can find a half-court basketball area where teens and adults can shoot some hoops. The swings are a hit with younger children - that timeless playground classic never seems to lose its appeal. And when space is what you need, the large open field offers plenty of room for impromptu soccer games, frisbee tosses, or epic games of hide and seek.

A Neighborhood Meeting Place

Crescent Park serves the local community well. Its modest size and straightforward design make it feel somewhat like an extension of your backyard that's shared with neighbors.

Throughout the year, the park hosts community events. These include Easter egg hunts and occasional Saturday markets with local vendors.

Practical Park Perks

You'll discover several picnic tables and benches dotted around the park, offering perfect spots to enjoy a sandwich, read a book, or just watch the clouds drift by under the shade of the park's trees.

Bringing your four-legged friend along? No problem - the park is dog-friendly with conveniently placed dog waste bag dispensers. Just remember to keep your pup leashed and pick up after them. There aren't any restroom facilities here, but since the park primarily serves the surrounding neighborhood, most visitors are just a short walk from home anyway.
