Mattie Reynolds Park Planning

This 5.25-acre park located in the Churchill neighborhood will be the first newly developed park in the southwest region in over 15 years.

It is located at the intersection of 13th Avenue and Dani Street and is named for the matriarch of one of the first Black families to settle in southwest Eugene after being displaced from the Across the Bridge community for construction of the Ferry Street Bridge.

Parks and Open Space will host three public meetings with online surveys to help create a vision and gather input on conceptual plans.

The construction of Mattie Reynolds Park is expected to be completed in 2025. Funding for this project comes from the 2018 Parks and Recreation Bond.
