Monroe Park

"I like bringing my toddler here but avoid the sandbox because there's been abandoned buried toys and other miscellaneous items. Might be nice for some older kids to have garden gloves and do some treasure hunting, but for now we enjoy the swings and grassy areas: kids love rolling down the hills."

"Wonderful park and well kept up by the neighborhood. It has a great division from sidewalk to road by foliage. Large grassy area and fun little hill. The only reason I give 3 stars is because it's also frequented by folks who are unhoused. It's rarely an issue but as someone with young, oblivious children, it's something I feel the need to keep tabs on (more so than strangers in general), because mental health challenges and/or substance use can lead to more volatile and unpredictable situations. That being said we've never had a truly negative experience as most folks frequenting the park are friendly and considerate. Definitely recommend!"

"Monroe Park is a fairly small park as far as Eugene parks generally go. smaller but not too many. It takes up one square block in the middle of the neighborhood. It is equipped with a field large enough for say an informal soccer game, throwing a Frisbee, or even fly a kite or two. There's a small grass covered hill, a small playground, and a couple basketball hoops. There are 3 or 4 picnic tables. As well as a couple of the nicer park restrooms that Eugene has to offer. Two unisex restrooms with doors that can be locked. A rarity in Eugene parks. Most park restrooms in the area are setup for multiple people to use at the same time, most with only a divider without stall doors. The Monroe park bathrooms also boast working (though only cold water and a pump button) sinks and (again only cold air) air hand dryers. Surrounding the entire park is a blacktop footpath with occasional benches along it. For being a relatively small Eugene park, it certainly is a pretty nice one."

"I like this little park in the middle of a really nice , and beautiful neighborhood in Eugene, Oregon. It's a really clean, park with a big green grassy hill to lay on and the kids and animals to roll down. It's got basketball court, walking trail around it. It's very well maintained. Very nice park to check out if you are one that likes to go to parks. I highly recommend Monroe Park. The neighborhood around the park is wonderful to walk around as well. Full of such lovely older beautiful houses."

"Nice park and lots of shade. Free lunch for the kiddos during the summer. There are swings, slides, sandpit, basket ball hoops and a strange concrete area that appears to have been a foutian at one point. History says this whole park used to be an elementary school back in the 60s. There Is tons Of Space For frisbee or kites. Low key and not hipster like Amazon Park. Love this place."
