Skyview Park Background: The City purchased 2.83 acres of land for a city park concurrent with the Hawkins View Phase II PUD.

The agreement states that the wetland donation will only be accepted when the City receives written notice from the Division of State Lands that RDT has satisfactorily completed wetland mitigation on these parcels. Upon acceptance by the City, the wetland parcels will be incorporated into the park as natural areas, and will continue to be managed by the City as wetland habitat. The Parks and Open Space bond measure is passed by Eugene voters, allocating $300,000 to improvements in Skyview Park. F.
