Ume Grill: Healthy you, healthy planet When you think of Amazon Pool, you may think about your family outings during the summer, the waterslide that motivated your kids to learn how to swim, or the lap swim area and fitness classes that kept you moving. Adding to this fun and healthy environment is Ume Grill, nestled in the south end of Amazon Pool.

Five years ago, Eug Rec adopted nutritional guidelines to align with its goal of providing a healthy and active lifestyle. The soda machines were the first to go from all three city pools. When Amazon’s contract with previous concessionaries ended, a request for proposal sought new concession services.

Ume Grill was chosen because it aligned with Eug Rec’s values and healthy initiative.

“Ume Grill reinforces our values of a healthy and active lifestyle by providing healthy food,” Amazon Pool Manager Robbie Guthrie says.

This cohesion of goals carries through in other city initiatives, such as the Love Food Not Waste program. The program provides resources to ensure food scraps are used for compost rather than take up space in landfills. To date, more than 7,000 tons of food scraps have been converted to compost and biogas.

“This initiative will greatly reduce

provide participants with extra support. Program designed for youth with disabilities. Questions? Call 541-682-5311.

Ume Grill’s menu is built on the concept of Umami, a savory flavor that is often very closely connected with Japanese cuisine.

Adult Outdoor

Outdoor Rec program started small It was a humble beginning for Eugene Outdoor Rec. The program began in 1966, with the devotion of one staff person – Mel Jackson. A leader in outdoor education, Jackson was a tireless advocate for our local waterways and natural areas, even guiding governor Bob Straub and state legislators on canoe trips to promote the formation of the Willamette River Greenway.

The first classes were frequently themed on survival skills and camping – how to navigate with a compass or weather a storm in a deer hunting camp. Programs cost one to two dollars, were designed for beginners, and quickly gained popularity.

Outdoor Rec moved into its current house on the river in 1972. A canoe house was constructed shortly after, and is still in use today, though it now houses brightly colored kayaks and stand-up paddleboards rather than wooden canoes.

We’re looking forward to another 50 years of learning by rafting, climbing, sailing, skiing, hiking and exploring the great outdoors.
