Skinner's Butte

This one-of-a-kind playground was designed by the Eugene community to bring children in touch with Eugene’s unique history and culture through creative play. Discovery Village is part of an overall vision called RiverPlay, aimed at creating two regional play areas near the waterfront, linked by the River Bank Trail. This playground was made possible by the enormous support, cooperation, and generosity of the entire community and was spearheaded by the Eugene Rotary Club.  Discovery Village was designed to capture the character of our local region. Each play element relates to something special about Eugene’s places and people. Head to Skinner Butte Park and check out Eugene’s award-winning playground for yourself.
