Open space is healthy! This is just a simple plea to the city of Eugene and its citizens to please consider making the old City Hall site a park. Open space is vanishing rapidly in our cities, and while some cities got it right (New York City, San Francisco), most urban areas are filled with concrete and parking garages just because “it’s the thing to do.” Why do we always have to fill up spaces?
Imagine the benefits of the community taking back this parking lot and transforming into an open space for all, free of vendors, structures and tents, a place to sit on a nice summer day .
Doesn’t this land belong to the citizens of Eugene?
Please consider transforming this city hall parking lot into simply “City Park.”

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
