Filbert Meadows Park

Location and Setting

Positioned in northern Eugene, Oregon, Filbert Meadows Park sits at the meeting point of Hyacinth Street and Naismith Boulevard. This neighborhood park preserves several of its original filbert trees, which provide welcome shade during warm summer days and connect to the area's natural heritage.

Recreational Amenities

Kids of all ages find plenty to do here. The playground boasts an eye-catching play structure - affectionately dubbed the "Octapod" by locals - complete with two slides and multiple climbing challenges that keep the little ones entertained for hours.

Children particularly enjoy the substantial sand pit with water features that run during summer months. (You might want to pack a change of clothes if your kids plan to dig in!)

The park's clever design includes a multi-functional space that represents both an amphitheater and a half-court basketball area - excellent for shooting hoops or enjoying impromptu community gatherings.

Natural Features

A sprawling, rolling lawn dominates the landscape, offering plenty of room for picnics, casual games of frisbee, or just lounging on a blanket with a good book. Dog parents particularly appreciate this open space for playing fetch and giving their four-legged friends some exercise.

A winding walking path meanders across the grounds, great for a leisurely stroll or a light jog for those looking to get their steps in for the day.

Amenities

You'll come across several picnic tables scattered within the park - some nestled under shady trees, others conveniently positioned near the playground where you can keep an eye on the kids while enjoying lunch.

Thoughtful touches include dog waste bag dispensers to help keep the grounds clean. Note that there are no restroom facilities on site, so plan accordingly before your visit.

Community Value

Filbert Meadows Park is one of Eugene's accessible green spaces within residential areas. It's especially pleasant during spring and summer, offering a nice mix of active recreation and peaceful relaxation.
