City buys riverfront property for Natural Area park

Map by Tim Penix for the Register-Guard

The city of Eugene recently purchased riverfront property in the Santa Clara area with money from the 2006 Parks Bond.  The city has designated the park as a Natural Area park.  Santa Clara also has nine neighborhood parks (3 are developed) and over 35 acres of land targeted for a community park.

Here is a link to The Register-Guard article from January 7th.  There is a nice slide show that accompanies the article.
