Mom and dad will love the fact that the kids can learn about Eugene's history while getting some great exercise when visiting the Riverplay Discovery Village Playground. This is one of the largest playgrounds in the state and offers visitors a chance to experience the state's history and culture in a truly unique way. Creative play attractions and state-of-the-art features are the order of the day here, as the kids will enjoy climbing a 25-foot replica of Skinner Butte, uncovering fossils and exploring a replica of old pioneer villages.

A brisk walk is one of the best forms of exercise, and for outdoor lovers, taking that gingerly stroll down the Amazon Trail in Eugene is a great way to spend some quality time enjoying the area's natural beauty. The trail is located next to Roosevelt Middle School and offers a 600-meter, 1,000-meter and 1-mile loop. Whatever length of the trail you choose to tackle, they are all in the convenient figure-eight shape which proves to be a moderate challenge and keeps the pace for your walk interesting, too.

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.
