SPRINGFIELD, Ore. – What does it take to keep a community active, connected, and thriving? In 2024, Willamalane welcomed over 180,000 swimmers, opened a preschool for 80 full-time students, and logged 10,700 volunteer hours. 

Summer camp season for 2025 has arrived.

Ben Blankenship is redefining what it means to go the distance. The Olympian, world record holder, and Eugene-Springfield local has made a name for himself by pushing the boundaries of human potential.

Plan a fun week for spring break 2025, which is March 24-28, 2025. Willamalane has fun activities and expanded hours to make your spring break one to remember.

At Dorris Ranch, 3,500 young, blight-resistant filbert trees are taking root in the rich, damp soil, promising a fresh start for this historic orchard.

Families, friends, and coworkers came together on the courts last fall to ace serves and drain threes. For some, it was all about the glory, while others came to have fun and bond over the sports they love.

A thriving system of parks, trails and open spaces, along with a robust array of recreation and activity options, is essential to creating a healthy and happy community.

Media and community members are invited to celebrate the grand opening of Willamalane’s Tiny Duck Preschool. Willamalane’s recent expansion brings vital childcare opportunities to Springfield families.

Starting Nov. 18, Willamalane Park and Recreation District will begin the next phase of its tree replacement project at Dorris Ranch to protect the historic filbert orchards from Eastern Filbert Blight, a fungus that has spread through nearly all mature trees.
