The 14th Annual Awbrey Park Wildflower Celebration is this Saturday, May 3, from 11 am until 2 pm. Awbrey Park is located at the corner of River Road and Spring Creek Drive<\/a> in Eugene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our most popular event is the Treasure Hunt. Take a guided tour or explore on your own with a self-guided tour. Bright yellow trail markers will lead you to many of the parks native plants. If you find 12 of 15 plants, you can take home a native plant for your garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are adding a new event this year that may become even more popular than the Treasure Hunt. Katie McMinnis. a veterinarian at the Cascade Raptor Center, will be leading a birdwalk around 11 am. Katie knows her birds by ear, which is ideal for the forest in the back part of the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But wait, there\u2019s more! We have added food trucks this year. Calle Steelo Taco truck will be serving up tacos and King Whippy has soft ice cream with a gazillion colors of sprinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
