Gilham Park

Natural Beauty

One of the first things you'll notice at Gilham Park is the gorgeous arc of fir trees lining the southern edge, creating a picture-perfect natural frame for the space. These towering trees aren't just beautiful - they offer much-needed shade during those hot summer months when the Oregon sun is beating down. There's also a small stream meandering through the park, where you can pause to watch local wildlife go about their day or simply enjoy the gentle sounds of flowing water.

Room to Play

Spread across 3.73 acres, this park gives you plenty of breathing room with its expansive open field. Whether you're tossing a frisbee, kicking a soccer ball, or just letting the kids burn off some energy, the big grassy area provides plenty of space. Bordered by those lovely shade trees, it's an inviting spot for all sorts of outdoor activities. If you've got little ones in tow, you'll appreciate the children's play area that's particularly well-suited for younger kids who need a safe place to explore.

Park Perks

Feeling hungry after all that outdoor fun? You'll find picnic tables tucked under shady spots, meant for a family lunch or casual get-together with friends. The park really shines as a community hub where neighbors can connect while enjoying a bit of nature within the city. And if your four-legged friend needs exercise too, you'll be glad to know the park is dog-friendly - keeping with Eugene's tradition of welcoming pups in public spaces.

It's a pleasant pocket of green space within the residential area. The friendly surroundings make it an ideal spot for an evening stroll or morning jog as part of your daily routine.
