The Saturday Market is a Eugene staple. The Farmers' Market has beautiful and delicious local produce, as well as cheeses, flowers, meats, honey, etc. The artisans market is a fabulously eccentric mix of all types of handmade goods, from clothing and jewelry to pottery and things you never knew you needed. It's a great place for people-watching. Local food booths and a music stage keep the place buzzing.

Parks & Nature

Fantastic place to hike within a very short drive. Multiple trailheads enable you to choose between a variety of lengths and elevations. Wooded and shady, the Ridgeline is a lovely place to take in the Douglas Firs and other NW plant life that are so abundant here in Oregon.
