Our birding trail consists of 21 locations in Springfield where you can
find and observe birds. Most of these sites are found in Willamalane parks.Go to the BIRDING page
In some locations, birds can be observed from a
parking area. In others, you will want to go on a short walk to observe
the local birds. Several locations have more extensive path systems or
open spaces that you can explore. In many of these areas, you might see
other wildlife. These are typically quiet places to simply walk and relax,
also.
Park Reservations and Facility Rentals Your special event is special to us. Whether it's a birthday party, a business retreat, or a family wedding, Willamalane Park and Recreation District offers several scenic settings for your group to enjoy.
Commemorative Gifts, Bequests, DonationsYou can help keep Springfield an attractive place to live by donating a tree, a park bench, or a playground structure to a Willamalane park. For park enthusiasts, a commemorative gift is a unique way to celebrate special events and family landmarks—births, retirements, or anniversaries. It is also a touching way to express sympathy. You can honor the passing of a loved one with a memorial, while making a lasting contribution to the local environment.
Your chance to lend a hand Park volunteers become stewards of public lands by working to improve park areas in a meaningful way. Adopt A Park volunteers also gain recognition for their labor: A sign is erected in the adopted park noting their good deeds. Adopt A Park helps people help each other so that all may have better recreational opportunities.
