About Downtown Riverfront Park
A Fresh Take on Urban Gathering
Found in Eugene, Oregon, the Downtown Riverfront Park is transforming the city's connection to the Willamette River. This one-acre plaza forms part of a larger riverfront development. Situated perfectly between residential buildings and a restaurant, it's designed to be that perfect middle ground where downtown energy meets peaceful river vibes.
When Can You Visit?
If you're making plans, mark your calendar for Summer 2025. Construction is set to kick off in Summer 2024, so we're still in the anticipation phase of Eugene's ambitious project to make the riverfront more accessible and community-friendly.
ADPrivate Wine Tour with Tastings from Eugene
Explore Oregon's wine country on a guided private tour where you will visit small production wineries and sometimes even interact with owners and winemakers at the cellar door. Learn about how wine is made and get a new appreciation for what goes into making world class wine.
What Makes It Special
Once completed, the plaza will feature a water fountain that's bound to become a favorite spot to cool off during Oregon's warm summer days. You'll find several comfortable benches scattered throughout - great for enjoying a packed lunch or simply sitting back and soaking in those tranquil river views.
The designers have planned this space to be flexible and dynamic, capable of hosting various activities and events as the seasons change. Just a heads up: there aren't plans for public restrooms within the plaza itself, so you might want to plan accordingly when you visit.
