Eugene is known for its green landscape and lush environ ment. Included in that ap praisal are the city’s 70 some odd parks. The most visible of these? is Alton Baker Park, located on the north bank of the Willamette River The park is bisected by numerous bike paths and is easily accessible by crossing the Autzen Stadium footbridge or the Ferry Street Bridge. Used all year long, the 453-acre park is a haven for sun bat hers, swimmers, kayakers, canoeists, joggers and bicyclists It also boasts two large picnic shelters, the 5.000 seat Cuthbert Am phitheater and Pro’s Trail, a jogging path located between the river and Autzen Stadium and named after the late Steve Prefontaine Currently, the park is included in the Lane County Park system; however, it is ex pected to be deeded in the near future to the City of Eugene.

The history of the park dates back to 1906 when Eugene pioneers Thomas and Martha Hendricks donated 47 acres of land to the city, and the city, in turn, bought an additional 47 acres. The deed to the land requested that it be turned into a park. The first development oc curred between 1915 and 1924 when roads were con structed and the park became a tour site for new-fangled motor vehicles. In 1922, two elk were given to the park by the Eugene Elks Club, beginn ing what would become an extensive deer and elk exhibit for the next 50 years.
