This week we are taking a visit to what might be Lane County's newest park. Not only is it brand spanking new, but it is just so gosh darn cool. Make a list of all of the positive adjectives you would use to describe a park that you luuuuuhve. This park is all of those things! Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, I give you... Quartz Park 2300 S. 60th St. Springfield, OR 97478 So let's hear it for the Thurston Crew! Way back a million years ago when I first started teaching, I worked in Thurston, and it was a delight to be a new teacher in that community. I absolutely love Springfield. There are so many good things happening there! Also, I might be alone in this, but the smell of the mills around the 42nd Street exit on 126? I sort of love it. Also Chicken Bonz. Oh, Chicken Bonz. You have my heart. Anywho. Quartz Park is gigantic, and I promise that you can take any kid, any age, any interest, and they will be thrilled. Here's the rundown: The stuff we love:
The stuff we don't love so much:
The Essentials
Parking: A smallish, free lot Cost: Free! Food: Take your picnic, yo Restrooms: Ummm maybe? Resting/Nursing Spots: Benches and picnic tables and lots of grass Push or Wear: Hmm. If you have a giant bag, I'd say push, just so you can store all your stuff somewhere and not have to lug it plus the baby. Time Frame: At least an hour Get out there to the 97478 and check it out!
