Beyond Toxics

Have you been wondering what's going on with the cleanup at Trainsong Park? The park has been closed since 2022 when toxic chemicals were discovered in the soil. Now, City of Eugene staff are hosting a public meeting to share next steps for the park!

Staff will present on the future of the park, including this summer's cleanup plan and planned renovations for 2027. There will also be an opportunity to take a survey to share your input on park improvements!

If you've been waiting for answers on Trainsong Park, this meeting is a great opportunity!
