This weekend, we’ll be celebrating the transformation of the City of Eugene’s former EWEB operations yard into an active and accessible riverfront park with a grand opening for the Downtown Riverfront Park from June 10 – 12. The new three-acre park is a key piece of the City’s plan to reconnect downtown to the river. As a cultural landscape, the park integrates ecology, industry, public art, historic structures and river views along a newly designed segment of the Ruth Bascomb Regional Trail.
The weekend celebration will begin at 10 a.m. Friday, June 10 with speeches by Mayor Lucy Vinis and City Manager Sarah Medary and a ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by free performances and programming under the new art pavilion, SupSupra, throughout the weekend-long celebration.
