Burnside Park

Burnside Park is connected to Maddox Woods Park along the Willamette River on the Willamette River Greenway Trail. It is common for hikers to start their trip in one park and then walk through the other over the connecting bridge.
I should note that this park has two entrances in the local neighborhood. If you enter the park on Buck Street, your hike will start with quite a steep downhill path, so it definitely is not the place to start for those with mobility issues or any concerns about rolling ankles. Or if you have a dog that tends to pull you down trails. The entrance off of Edgewater Court would be a better bet.
This is a 10-​acre nature park ideal for wildlife viewing and hiking along the lovely Willamette River under a nice canopy of trees. No play structures or amenities.
