Discover your perfect trip with Eugene Rec Fall is the perfect time to get out and discover what Eugene has to offer. One of our beliefs here at Eugene Rec is the key to living a happier, healthier life is getting up and exploring. The more we can help you get out and discover what our city, county and state have to offer the better off our community is. That’s why within the 2017 Fall Rec Guide anyone will be able to find a trip, hike or program that helps them experience where they live in a different way. Come to the pumpkin patch with us this fall on a great trip just for people with disabilities and take in the autumn colors while searching for the perfect pumpkin to carve back at Hilyard Community Center. Or maybe join a trip through the River House Outdoor Center and head out into the Willamette National Forest to see the changing colors of the leaves. Of course you could stay closer to home and join a painting class to create that perfect piece that could hang above your fireplace as the weather starts to cool. If fitness is your goal, Eugene Rec offers plenty of opportunities for you to become your best self. This Rec Guide is your key to finding that fall getaway. Whether it’s just for a day of escape in the mountains to chase the last sun or to sneak in one more day kayaking on the water, fall is the ideal time to explore.

The iconic red barn structure will still run exceptional programming and events for all ages.

Eugene Rec has a 30-year vision for its parks and recreation facilities, and Echo Hollow Pool plays a big part in it. The Bethel area pool opened in 1969 and has now exceeded its expected lifespan. In a growing neighborhood, the call for a pool that has fun features like a slide and spray play area has grown. A remodel to replace failing systems and improve energy efficiency would ensure continued operation for decades to come. Read the Parks and Rec System Plan at EUGParksandRec.org

Adult Outdoor Since the outdoor program moved to its current location in an old house in 1972, it has increased programming for all ages, homing in on its philosophy that outdoor activities are emotionally, physically and spiritually rewarding and help people better themselves. An expansion, shown in renderings made for the Parks and Recreation System Plan, would strengthen the City’s unique outdoor program, open new avenues to partner with community members and provide even more access to the bounty of outdoor pursuits available to Eugeneans.

Senior Activities Eugene Rec cares so much about providing programs in close proximity to its patrons it will literally move buildings, like it did in 1966 when it moved Campbell Community Center a few blocks to its current location. But the last major expansion of Campbell was in 1990. A remodel, detailed in our Parks and Recreation System Plan, would help serve a growing population in a modern environment and create the connections and community it’s so well known for.

Policies Minimum Class Requirements In order to recover program costs, a minimum number of participants are required. Please register early. Classes and activities will be canceled between two and five days before the activity start date if the minimum number of participants have not registered. If you register for a canceled activity because of low enrollment, staff will notify you and issue a refund. For more about the withdrawal/refund policy, see below.
Withdrawal/Refund Policy
Withdrawals from recreation activities are subject to a withdrawal fee. A withdrawal fee of $10 will be charged for each registration under $100. A withdrawal fee of $25 will be charged for each registration $100 and higher. A refund will be issued minus the withdrawal fee when requested at least seven (7) or more calendar days before the first activity meeting.
When a refund is requested six (6) or fewer calendar days before the first activity meeting or once a class or activity has started, a refund shall be issued only if: • You move out of town. • You are medically unable to participate. • Department action requires cancellation of the activity (no withdrawal fee will be charged). Refunds will be pro-rated for classes already attended.

Building Community Through Partnerships Eugene Rec uses the buddy system. We create transformative experiences that build social connections and enhance the health, happiness and livability of our community. We couldn’t do it without the partnerships of more than 150 local organizations. Whether it’s donating building space to the Boys and Girls Club, supporting Oregon Country Fair’s youth Culture Jam or helping maintain Eugene public school athletic fields, we’re all in this together. The Parks and Recreation System Plan aims to continue these crucial relationships. The community has said they want us to create more connections and build better partnerships, whether that be forging new ones or reinventing old ones across the board – from community health and social services to education, the arts and economic development. We have a plan for the next 30 years. But we won’t be able to do it alone.
