Eugene Parks Foundation: Making exceptional city parks

City Park

On this edition of Oregon On The Record, you’ll hear from Ariel Lissman, Executive Director of the Eugene Parks Foundation which exists to fund, maintain and create exceptional parks in Eugene. It’s mission is to create parks that aren’t just for families with young children, but spaces that cater to everyone at every state of life.

Parks can be taken for granted but, when folks start thinking about the amenities that help define what good quality of life means for a city, parks suddenly become a huge plus.

And like anything that adds to a community’s benefit, parks need resources and money to survive.

Michael Dunne is the host and producer for KLCC’s weekly public affairs show, Oregon On The Record. In this role, Michael interviews experts from around Western and Central Oregon to dive deep into the issues that matter most to the station’s audience. Michael also hosts and produces KLCC’s leadership podcast – Oregon Rainmakers, and writes a business column for The Chronicle which serves Springfield and South Lane County.
