Ume Grill: Healthy you, healthy planet When you think of Amazon Pool, you may think about your family outings during the summer, the waterslide that motivated your kids to learn how to swim, or the lap swim area and fitness classes that kept you moving. Adding to this fun and healthy environment is Ume Grill, nestled in the south end of Amazon Pool.

This cohesion of goals carries through in other city initiatives, such as the Love Food Not Waste program. The program provides resources to ensure food scraps are used for compost rather than take up space in landfills. To date, more than 7,000 tons of food scraps have been converted to compost and biogas. “This initiative will greatly reduce

Ume Grill’s menu is built on the concept of Umami, a savory flavor that is often very closely connected with Japanese cuisine. When Amazon Pool is closed between September and May, you can find Ume Grill’s food cart at the corner of East 24th and Hilyard.

Adult Outdoor
Outdoor Rec program started small It was a humble beginning for Eugene Outdoor Rec. The program began in 1966, with the devotion of one staff person – Mel Jackson. A leader in outdoor education, Jackson was a tireless advocate for our local waterways and natural areas, even guiding governor Bob Straub and state legislators on canoe trips to promote the formation of the Willamette River Greenway. The first classes were frequently themed on survival skills and camping – how to navigate with a compass or weather a storm in a deer hunting camp. Programs cost one to two dollars, were designed for beginners, and quickly gained popularity.
Outdoor Rec moved into its current house on the river in 1972. A canoe house was constructed shortly after, and is still in use today, though it now houses brightly colored kayaks and stand-up paddleboards rather than wooden canoes. While programs and staff size have changed over time, the adventurous spirit of Outdoor Rec has not. Classes still encourage everybody
to get outside, learn new skills, and grow as individuals. “We can use an activity like climbing or rafting to highlight strengths and challenge people to improve,” says Roger Bailey, current program supervisor. The experiences one might have navigating a rapid, climbing the columns at Skinner Butte, or working through an exercise with a team at the Spencer Butte Challenge Course are all metaphors in a way for day-to-day life. “These are skills that help you interact with peers and respond in an environment that may be
