Nature play area at Silver Falls State Park <br />Explorer trail on west side of Spencer Butte <br />On -street connection on Agate Street <br />Eugene Trails Plan -2018 <br />Nature Play Trail <br />A nature play trail is a short soft-surface <br />trail segment designed to create a fun, <br />challenging, and safe route for children to <br />follow and explore while experiencing the <br />natural environment. Nature play trails <br />would typically be short in length and run <br />parallel to other existing trails or be a <br />smaller stand-alone loop trail within a park. <br />These trails would include unique play <br />elements such as stepping stones, <br />obstacles, balance logs, swings, boulders, <br />and whimsical signs. There are currently no <br />nature play trails in Eugene's system, but <br />they will be considered in the future. <br />Explorer Trail <br />An explorer trail is a technically challenging <br />pedestrian -only trail route with steeper <br />grade and more demanding terrain . The <br />summit trail on the west side of Spencer <br />Butte and the summit trail on the west side <br />of Skinner Butte above the climbing <br />columns are considered to be explorer <br />trails . <br />Key On-Street Connection <br />Designated street segments that provide <br />bicycle and pedestrian connectivity within <br />the overall trail network. These are <br />identified to make connections between <br />existing parks and open spaces along <br />streets and sidewalks to help create a more <br />connected recreational network. Working <br />in conjunction with Eugene Transportation <br />Planning and Neighborhood Services staff, <br />these street segments would be improved <br />and maintained to provide safe and <br />pleasant pedestrian and bicycle movement. <br />Improvements could include sidewalk infill <br />and repair, intersection improvements, <br />way-finding signage, seating, enhanced <br />street tree plantings, and public art. <br />Page 7
