Named after a lofty mountain rising from the northern corner of Eugene's downtown area, Skinner Butter Park is a public facility developed in honor of the city's founder, Eugene Skinner. Counted as one of the most beautiful jewels of Eugene's rustic landscape, the park boasts of a rich history and unmatched verdant setting. To its north lies the pristine Willamette river, while its namesake mountain forms its southern edge. Well-laid out picnic spots, kids' playground and biking trails make it quite popular with tourists and locals alike.

tripadvisorPark doesn’t have car access which is insane because there is a road just decided to close to vehicle with no explanation wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MoreVisited: 08/06/2023A beautiful park in Eugene. The views from the top of the hill were fabulous, a short but moderate climb to the top for those but worth it. The walks around the park with it's ponds, flower gardens, and well kept green spaces make it a lovely place to come and sit, enjoy the sunshine, and watch the ducks swim around. Would recommend a visit here.
MoreNice Rose Garden and a nice view from the top of Skinner Butte. But otherwise it didn't feel very safe. I went into a bathroom by the rose garden, to find someone in their doing heroin or something like that. No doors in any of the bathrooms in the park. Then at the top of Skinner Butte their are all kinds of locals just hanging out. Lots of weed smells and loud music. Not exactly what we were hoping for.
MoreAn easy drive, or short but steep hike to the top offers a great view of downtown, west and south Eugene.
MoreWell maintained, safe, by the river. Good for kids. Great for walking or bicycling. Like everything else in Oregon, it's very, very green.
