About the Business
Located in Eugene, Oregon, Alton Baker Park is the city's largest developed park, offering a wide range of recreational activities and facilities. Established in 1959, the park is divided into two main sections: the more developed West Alton Baker Park and the expansive 237-acre Whilamut Natural Area.
In addition to its recreational offerings, the park is also home to various special features, including the Native Plant Nursery and the newly upgraded lighting along Pre's Trail. The park is named after Alton F. Baker, a co-founder of the Eugene Register Guard who played a key role in the park's acquisition.

Reviews
"Alton Baker Park is a great park near U of O, connecting from the east (Island park Springfield) through Campbell park in Eugene to the northwest, along the Willamette River. One can walk or bike from end to end & through various connecting little trails. At AB park there are parking lots, restrooms, water faucets & a pedestrian bridge, P DaFaizo Bridge, little duck pond, Monster disc golf, Planet Mars display, covered picnic areas. There're 4 pedestrian bridge along the route. One can walk /bike on either side of the river. Pros: restrooms, various trails, most-scenic, free parking, benches; connecting to other parks, i.e. Eastgate Woodlands, Campbell, Skinner Butte (across road from Campbell), Owen Rose Garden, Maurice Jacobs, Rasor; Ruth Bascom trail. Cons: some littering by homeless."
"It was nice at Alton Baker Park. It was quiet and peaceful. I took a couple photos and walked around. It is a good place to get outside and get some exercise."
"It's a great park to walk. Right next to the Willamette River, the mixture of green and bubbling clear water create a very nice environment for a walk or bike. Across the bridge is the university of Oregon, and many office buildings. Great area to relax."
"Alton Baker Park is located in downtown Eugene close to the University of Oregon and Austen Stadium. There are a lot of nice walking paths and open areas for all sorts of activities. There is an 18 hole disc golf course that's real fun to play. It's also next to the river so there's always nice wild life. Cuthbert Amphitheater is also located in the park, and there's always cool music happening in the summer. The park is free and welcomes dogs."
"Took a walk with my little dog, beautiful area. This was off Aspen road. Lots of people with dogs and everyone asked before introducing their dog! Benchβs along the way with trash cans. Paths to water were nice. Will come explore some more."
