Review & FAQ:

Located on Summit Avenue, Hendricks Park is an 80-acre municipal park close to the University of Oregon. It is the oldest park in the city and is famous for its native plant garden as well as its 12-acre rhododendron garden.

A forest with 200-year-old Douglas fir trees features many paths and trails for birders and hikers, all within the boundaries of the city of Eugene. In addition to the trees and rhododendrons, other plants in the park include ferns, irises, trilliums, wildflowers, and many more.

The Francis M. Wilkins Shelter was built in 1938 to honor one of the park’s founders. The shelter can be rented for events.
