The project, referred to as RiverPlay, involves building two <br /> complementary, regional playgrounds in the two riverfront parks. Each playground will be larger <br /> than any existing playground in the Eugene area. The Alton Baker Park playground will feature <br /> adventure play equipment, such as a spray park, and the playground at Skinner Butte Park will <br /> 'te"` feature Eugene's natural and cultural history through interactive elements. All community <br /> members, especially young people and their families, are encouraged to attend. <br /> The project is made possible through major funding and volunteer support pledged by <br /> the Eugene Lions Club, Eugene Active 20/30 Club and the Eugene Downtown Rotary Club, in <br /> combination with funding from the Parks and Open Space bond measure voters approved in <br /> 1998.
