General Information

Location: Summit & Skyline Dr. 

Hendricks Park is Eugene's oldest city park.  Its 78 acres include a mature forest, a world-renowned rhododendron garden, and now a new native plant garden.  Laced with trails, the park is a haven for hikers, birders, and others who enjoy retreating to the tranquility of nature.  Without leaving the city, visitors can walk among Douglas fir trees two hundred years old, ferns, and wildflowers, such as trilliums and irises, and over six thousand varieties of rhododendrons and other ornamental plants.

With the implementation of the Hendricks Park Forest Management Plan in 2000, park staff have worked in partnership with the Friends of Hendricks Park and other community volunteers to help achieve a healthy, resilient, and sustainable forest.  The forest management plan will ensure that Hendricks Park's pristine natural setting, truly a community treasure, will be preserved for generations to come.
