@ Delta Ponds Loop Trail 640 Goodpasture Island Rd, Eugene, OR Let's meet at The Delta! Delta Ponds is a 150-acre waterway site consisting of numerous ponds, channels, wetlands, and associated riparian areas. This unique natural area owned by the City of Eugene borders a stretch of the Willamette River, just downstream from Valley River Center. For many, it is a favorite spot for bird watching, fishing, and enjoying the outdoors. The trail is now a 1.4 mile loop, which was completed in December 2024. *Parking can sometimes be a challenge at the Delta Ponds, particularly on nice weather days. See parking info below. |
Parking at Delta Ponds
There are two parking lots.
We will meet in the north (paved) parking lot. If you park in the south lot, you can get on the trail and walk north until you find the group. We will be walking towards you from the paved lot. There are also some places to park in business lots to the north.   |
Thanks to all who walked! Turned out to be a perfect day for a stroll around the OSU campus!
And here is time/distance info for the walk:
Where: Oregon State University Campus
When: Sunday, March 1st, 2026 @ 1 PM
Let's enjoy a beautiful (according to the weather app forecast, anyway!) afternoon strolling the tree-lined walkways of the OSU Campus. This will be a flat, non-strenuous walk with an opportunity to pause for coffee at the campus Dutch Bros if we so desire. Total time of the walk will be approximately 1 hour.
...and we'll likely see a few Starships rolling around the campus, delivering food to the unambitious Sunday college students. 😉
We'll meet at 1:00 at the McNary Field parking lot (the "banana-shaped" lot), one half-block north of 14th & Monroe (see map below). See you there!
You may think your pets are protected with microchips, but that might not be the case. One of the country's largest microchip companies went down the tubes a year ago, and the company took its registry of owners with it. Local shelters continue to find lost pets with unregistered chips, which are now useless to help reunite the animals with their owners.
When: February 15th, Sunday, @ 1:30 PM
Where: Hendricks Park 2198 Summit Ave Eugene, OR 97403 Let's enjoy a walk in Eugene's oldest city park. Hendrick's park is located in southeast Eugene, east of the University of Oregon. From Franklin Blvd., head south on Orchard St. to the end. Turn left on Fairmount Blvd., and then turn right onto Summit Ave. Follow Summit up the hill and turn right at the top, onto Floral Hill Drive. There will be a parking lot on the right side and we will meet in that lot. A Note on Terrain:
Hendricks Park is up in the hills, and this walk will include
some climbs--mostly gradual rather than steep--but climbing nonetheless. |

When you think of the fastest animals on earth, what do you think of? The cheetah? Gazelle? Peregrine falcon? Maybe a Thoroughbred racehorse? But have you ever thought about including the dog in that collection?
When it comes to how fast dogs can run, one particular breed stands out. Greyhounds have been known to run at an astonishing 45 miles per hour—and it’s not just top speed: many Greyhounds can hit over 43 miles per hour in just four-tenths of a mile, reaching a maximum acceleration of 9 miles per hour in approximately two seconds.

Your dog’s paw pads act much like the soles of sneakers, protecting your dog’s foot and cushioning each step. Paw pads are tough, but they can still be cut by sharp objects or worn off if your dog runs hard on rough terrain. What should you do when your dog cuts or tears a paw pad?
