Escape without having to go too far when you plan to spend a little romantic time together on a date at Hendricks Park. This is Eugene's oldest city park and it offers several natural amenities that will make your time together quite memorable. Over its sprawling 78 acres, the two of you will find a mature forest to marvel at, a highly-recognized rhododendron garden to admire, and several winding trails on which to stroll casually hand in hand.
Sometimes, great talent can be found right in your own back yard. Such is the case with the fine actors, producers, directors and technical personnel who are part of Eugene's Lord Leebrick Theatre Company. The group's mission is to entertain audiences with bold, often thought-provoking theater presented in a charming and intimate surrounding. The entertainment facility has upheld its artistic tradition for the past nineteen years and shows no signs of stopping the show anytime soon.
The Willamette River runs through Eugene and is a proven source of fun, recreation and relaxation for all who spend time either on its shores or in its refreshing waters. Canoeing, rafting, swimming and fishing are just a few of the watersports activities that many visitors enjoy.
