Help Protect this Oasis of Nature

One of the ways we can protect the natural qualities of our parks is to lessen our impact.

 

Stay on the trails.

This keeps trampling to a minimum and reduces human disturbance of wildlife.

Pack it out.

Litter shows disrespect and damages plant and wildlife habitat.

Leave it in.

Each plant, animal, and rock has its value in nature. Please don't pick, catch, remove, or collect natural items.

Keep pets leashed on trails.

Pets can disturb and harm wildlife—and sometimes other park visitors, too!

Ride bicycles only on designated paths.

Bicycles are allowed only on designated paved paths.

The following are prohibited at all Willamalane parks:

• Unleashed dogs

• Hunting

• Firearms, fireworks, weapons.

• Alcohol

• Illegal drugs

• Glass containers

• Sound-amplifying devices

• Open fires

• Camping

• Motorized vehicles, except in designated parking areas

• Horseback riding

• Any activity which damages park property.

About the Skatepark

A skateboarder.The outdoor Skatepark at Willamalane Park is a place where area youth can have an appropriate place to practice their sport and gather with their peers at no cost.

 

This skatepark features chunky, abrupt shapes with definite corners. And doesn't that one look like a picnic table? Yes, that is a "picnic table" in the middle, right in front of a set of "stairs" and across from a very real fire hydrant. This "street-style" skatepark looks more like the real world, and it's just what Springfield skaters told designers they wanted.

 

Tony Hawk surrounded by fans.A Skatepark Dedication Ceremony was held on April 30, 2003. The event featured a special guest appearance by famed skateboarder and skatepark donor Tony Hawk. This ceremony marked the culmination of a communitywide effort to bring this skatepark to Springfield. Community volunteers and donors were also recognized for their generous support in building this important recreational facility.

 

Local and national pros performed a one-hour demo commemorating the dedication of the skatepark.
People on skateboards, bicycles and scooters can now use the new skatepark!
