Templin Beach Park

"Nice little park. The dog park is right next to it. No playground but access to the river. There are a lot of homeless people at this park but they are all real nice."

"Small park with beautiful water access! We took the kids here for a quick swim while visiting the area. There were several friendly people & the water was perfect for swimming."

"A great view of the river along the freeway. Lined with trees on either side, sizeable parking areas, bathrooms, and a decent dog park (my recommendations only concern the Happy Tails dog park and the footpath beyond). The dog park is a decent size for running through, with plenty of trees for shade and benches to watch from. Near the entrance there are faucets for water and some buckets/a plastic pool members of the community have kindly provided. Plastic bags are available at the entrance in order to clean up after your dogs during your time there, with trash cans placed about the park. As it's along the river, the park will flood during the Winter/rainy seasons here. This collapses the fencing, which is propped back up when possible. Along the outside of the park is a paved footpath leading to Micelli Park, which makes for a short, pleasant walk. Pros: • Water access • Wide, open space • Good mix of grass, dirt, shade, and sun • Beautiful view • Disposable bags for waste clean-up • Bathrooms • Great running conditions Spring/Summer/Fall • Well-populated from midday to afternoon, sparse in early mornings and evenings. Cons: • Dogs not always cleaned up after • Flooding in Winter and early Spring • River water (namely in Summer). Do not let your dog drink from the river. The South Umpqua isn't exactly pristine due to slow water and algae, this can result in illness. That last one is a huge downer unfortunately, but as Happy Tails isn't open to the water, it doesn't affect it too much. It's quite lovely in the Spring (attached photos taken on two separate days in late April and early May)."

"We love to go fishing for bass there. The dog park near by is nice for the dogs to run and not have to worry about them escaping. I recommend."

"Good little spot to take the pup in the water on a hot day. Met the cutest pooch, Hank with his awesome owner. I hope I run into them again"
