Building Community Through Partnerships Eugene Rec uses the buddy system.

We create transformative experiences that build social connections and enhance the health, happiness and livability of our community. We couldn’t do it without the partnerships of more than 150 local organizations and other City of Eugene departments.

That’s why we are so excited about the future. Because of the trust voters showed in the City of Eugene by voting yes for the Parks and Recreation System Plan, we have even more opportunities to grow these crucial relationships. The community has said they want to renovate our community centers, build new ones and create parks and trails for everyone to enjoy. We have a plan for the next 30 years.

But we won’t be able to do it alone.
