This small urban park is tucked into the Far West neighborhood, between 9th Place and 10th Avenue along Grant Street. It was constructed in 1982 with Community Development Block Grant Funds.

Parks and Open Space will host three public meetings with online surveys to help create a vision and gather input on conceptual plans, park activation and community art opportunities for this park.

The renovation of Martin Luther King Jr Park is expected to be completed in 2024. Funding for this project comes from the 2018 Parks and Recreation Bond.

    what's the overall budget for 2033? Is sprucing up another cookie-cutter park the best way to provide value for the most residents? Partner and I walk a lot. MLK park is on the way to delta ponds where we birdwatch. Sure isnt a thriving venue. Do parents even take kids to the park to romp or just chauffer them in privileged-per mobiles to their professionally organized activities. I need more data. Saw this document: https://www.eugene-or.gov/ImageRepository/Document?documentId=67363 I think we should prioritize infrastructure and repurposing wasted former retail space intolkive/work/child/care hubs located near bus lines.

    This neighborhood park is being renovated as planned for in the voter approved 2018 Bond and the Parks and Recreation System Plan.  The $900,000 overall funding for this park comes mostly from the bond. None of the funding comes from the general fund that you noted in your document link.  This park is long overdue for renovation and for replacement of the play equipment so that the neighbors have a safe park within walking distance.
