Happy 2015 Adventurers! How was your holiday season? Are you ready for some holiday detox? I think my kiddos are still recovering from all the treats and late nights and general festivities. And needless to say, so am I. :) The holidays always seemed so effortlessly magical when I was a child...now I know that while they are still magical, they are HARDLY effortless. Oy vey. Anywho, after lots of inside time, we are raring to go play outdoors, so I thought another park review might be in order. Without further ado: Skinner Butte Park - RiverPlay Discovery Village 210 Cheshire Ave. Eugene, OR 97402 You guys. The first time we played at this park, I think we all just stood there and stared at it for about ten minutes. It is absolutely, truly beautiful. It is well designed and intentional. It is so many wonderful things. But there are drawbacks, and pretty big ones in my honest opinion. So. Here we go. Here's what we love:
Here are some of our not-so-favorite things:
The Essentials
Parking: Plenty! Food: Well, there's a water fountain, but you'll need to bring your own snacks. :) Resting/Nursing spots: Spots galore! Cost: Free - wahoo! Time frame: As long as your kiddos can play! Happy Adventuring! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Megan Defferding is the mom to two super fun boys who love to find great stuff to do all around Lane County!

Love the review! Something to add - I guess it's the fossil dig area - last summer when we went it was pretty much just a big mud put, which of course was a HUGE draw for my kiddo! Just something to keep in mind - boots and a change of clothes may be in order if your child is a pig at heart like mine!
