Roehr Waterfront Park
This 7.5 acre developed riverfront area along the Willamette River includes viewing decks, lighted pathways, and benches for sitting. There is also an amphitheater and access to the Charlie S. Brown Water Sports Center.
Foothills Park, the City’s newest riverfront park, is 9 acres on the waterfront, on the north side of Roehr Park. It features sweeping views of the river from a covered platform; a ring of basalt columns engraved with the poetry of William Stafford (the Stafford Stones); a timber and stone picnic pavilion with a stone fireplace; pathways, a reflecting pond, and a grass amphitheater that hosts Wednesday evening concerts in July.
There is a public dock on the river here for transient use (72 hr boat tie up). You may launch from here but be aware of the steep ramp down to the dock.
