About Amazon Park

Amazon Park is a vibrant, active park in the heart of south Eugene. It encompasses nearly 100 acres, including numerous recreation opportunities, community centers, and natural areas. The diversity of activities that park users can enjoy makes Amazon Park particularly special.

Recreation facilities at Amazon Park include two community centers and Eugene’s only outdoor pool. Amazon Community Center offers a variety of enrichment activities, classes, workshops, special events, and summer camps for people of all ages. Hilyard Community Center is where the city’s Adaptive Recreation Program is housed, which offers opportunities for people with physical, developmental and emotional disabilities to develop active health and playful lifestyles. Amazon Pool is an outdoor pool facility located at 2600 Hilyard Street, and typically is open late May through September.

The North and South Amazon Running Trail System, a 5.5-mile bark jogging path, winds through Amazon Park, along Amazon Parkway and up to Frank Kinney Park, where a connection to the Ridgeline Park can be found at the end of Canyon Drive.

Other notable facilities in Amazon Park include ball and soccer fields, tennis courts (managed by 4J), a community garden, an outdoor performance space, play area, a small skateboard bowl, a 3 acre dog park for dogs of all sizes and a separate .5 acre dog park for dogs that weigh 25 pounds or less.
