Nature preserves and Willamette Park

South Corvallis embraces nature with several of the city's most significant river parks. Avery Park expands the enchanting lore of South Corvallis. After walking through a wrought iron corridor covered in vines, residents are greeted by a garden of roses. The "Dinosaur Bones," originally a 1970s art exhibit, is an ivory playground where kids can imagine a Jurassic adventure as a steam locomotive sits idle, waiting for a new conductor to take the helm. While the fossils may be artificial, the park was once a petting zoo with a black bear exhibit. Spanning over 287 acres, Willamette Park has three trails, each providing over 2 miles of wooded paths for biking or hiking. Rafts and kayaks can float downstream from the boat landings, providing opportunities to browse the vegetables and sunflowers in the community garden, which neighborhood residents maintain. The Willamette Disc Golf Course offers 18 pins in sparsely treed areas. At the Crystal Lake Sports Fields, including diamonds for baseball and pitches for soccer players, accommodate Little Leaguers and youth rec league players alike.
