Dating in Springfield
In shortSpringfield is Eugene's neighbor across the river, a little quieter and close to the McKenzie and the Middle Fork. Lots of people live in one town and work in the other. It has its own parks that are well worth a date.
A first date idea
Dorris Ranch
Dorris Ranch is a 268 acre Willamalane park just south of downtown Springfield, and the first commercial filbert orchard in the US, started in 1892. Miles of trails run through woodland and oak prairie, and the paved Middle Fork Path starts here. It is open daily from dawn to dusk.
