Armitage Park, Eugene, Oregon

     Armitage Park is a great park located just outside of Eugene, Oregon.  We had a late evening event in Eugene, so we thought why not just camp close by, instead of driving three hours home.  The park is located right on a bus line giving full access to Eugene most days.  On Saturday we were there, we had to walk just over a mile to catch the bus.  The park is very clean and comfortable.  It has a large off-leash dog park within the park.  It is located next to the McKenzie River with plenty of river access.  We found that although there are paths throughout the park, hiking was pretty much limited to the park, but the park was big enough for a good walk for most people.   We will visit the park in the future.
