I wish there was some better fishing spots from the banks, but its very scenic and pretty there.

Lovely walking paths with views of the water. Excellent place to see native birds, mammals and reptiles. Nearby bus stops and bike trails make it accessible. Within walking distance of Valley River Center restaurants.

I remember Delta pawns about 15 years ago. Took the dogs there the other day and I was blown away at how cool that Park has become. I hope they connect the trails because it does dead end if you go to the left when you park

Peaceful Nature Walk! We walk as a family through Delta Ponds frequently. We dont lube close, but its worth the drive. Especially in July when the blackberries are ripe!But sincerely, we go every season, as there is always something with enjoying. The path is flat with gravel, and stroller-friendly. Parking is available at two separate places, one paved, with a port-o-potty and HC spaces.Warm mornings are great for duck and goose families getting breakfast, cranes, heron, turtles on logs, and osprey if you keep an eye up!

As far as enjoying a bit of nature while being right next to Delta Hwy & the local mall, its a plus. There is a fair amount of road noise, but its to be expected. Level well maintained path. Lots of birds & plants to enjoy. I wish there were some benches to be able to sit & have lunch, but none yet. Trail starts out between two ponds & then skirts around the East & West sides.

Just a nice place to walk or jog around and enjoy the wildlife and Scenery.

About 1.7 miles to go out and back, if you begin at the end. We began in the middle and went to both ends passing the car once to grab additional water. Some ups and downs but mostly level gravel trail. Great flora and lots of singing birds. About half shade and half sunny fields. Someday a looping trail will be completed which would take this trail to a new level! Hope they do it soon.

Nice relaxing park to walk around. Pathways are pretty narrow but gorgeous view. Can be quite crowded sometimes.

Besides it being a nice walk, you have a good chance of running into a local to the park, Eric is somewhat resident there and is normally posted up during the day near by the bathrooms. Hes kind as can be and just loves to have people to chat with about life, ect. Definitely recommend the park.

First time there. Maybe the last. I didnt see much access to fish. A few spots looked like you could throw topwater baits. Anyone have a suggestion, or spot there you could recommend? Thanks.

Nice easy walk for all ages.

In city nature stroll along ponds with plentiful water fowl

Well maintained beautiful views and our dog loves it for her walks!

I wanted to fish here. The ponds are very full of plants and its hard to use anything but top lures.

Great place for quiet reflection and easy walk.

It was a beautiful short walk. I saw a few herons and lots of ducks. Best when at sunset, then all the critters come out to say hi.

A nice place to take a stroll and explore nature in the city. Lots of turtles and ducks to see.

It is my favorite escape in the middle of the city.

Admire restoration goals and progress. Suggest addition of a restroom of some sort.

Nice place for a quick break!

A nice spot in Eugene, but some maintainence definitely needs done.

Beautiful ponds! My son and I had a blast walking around here.

Great place to pull over and have lunch.

The paths are easy to navigate and well maintained. You get to see turtles basking in the sun. BUT.. the swarms of bugs are unreal. They come out of nowhere and are thick!

Beautiful wetlands area that is in town.

Very nice place to walk. Lots of birds singing and Ducks in the ponds.

Not a place to Run and bike riding is not allowed, dogs are ok, good place for a lazy walk, look at Turtles and ducks, photography wise not very interesting but a few shots can be had. Come find a good place sit and let nature Avail itself to you.

Great place to for a run or nature walk. I often see Great Blue Herons, ducks, geese, Hawks and sometimes turtles!

Very nice Wetland Natural Park setting near Valley River Center. Canadian Geese are at home here. Watch for Kingfisher, Herons, variety of Ducks and many other birds. Walking trails make for an easy hike around these Wetlands.

Somewhere beautiful to think

Had a great day at the ponds trying to find a geocache. The ducks were very interested in what I was doing and it was really cool. Theres quite a few geese families with little yellow babies. Great day overall.

Very clean kept up trail. Wish it went all the way around.

This is my little escape from the city right close to home. My favorite time to walk it is evening. Its not crowded, and many nights Im the only one there. I always see some wildlife and sometimes even stars. During the day there is lots to see, as well. There are two trail sections both with their own flavor.(Note, if you walk it at night after dark it gets a little spooky solo. In the winter people are set up for overnight camping in the parking lot and surrounding sidewalks can have interesting foot traffic.)The kids will enjoy the hike, too!

So relaxing at the Delta Ponds. We video taped a heron catching a catfish that escape from him, he had to re-catch it, speared it with his beak several times and finally after 9 minutes in one gulp- DOWN THE HATCH! It was the coolest thing ever. And the turtles swimming on the logs but they were high centered so all four legs were swimming and swimming but they were going nowhere, slow.

Best place to relax in the city

Just stopped to eat some takeout. Watched a huge moon rise

Wheel chair accessable path around wetland ponds.. Next to the Willamette river and bike paths that go on both sides of river for miles. Pond wildlife.

Its a little noisey from traffic, but a beautiful walk and enjoyed seeing the ducks,geese and the turtles on the floating logs

Great walk about and watching the variety of different birds calling this area home (my guess anyway)

This is a nice and mostly clean park. Lots of wildlife. I counted at least 13 species of birds, turtles, large catfish, otters, and much more crawling it doing around the ponds. There is one geocache here which is in tact. Keep in mind that the trail does not seem to loop all around and dead ends. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from end to end at a decent pace.

Good birding areas. The paths are clean and a few helpful signs explain about the area. I took a photo of this great blue heron in a tree this morning.

Amazing just go there!

Nice place to visit. The turtles and herons are happy at home. Theres a nice path that takes you to a landing where you can take great photos! Dogs are welcome as long as their leashed. Plenty of parking.

Had a great lunch break today a ahort walk around the ponds. Thus place has great paths. Lots of animals and creatures.Dont miss this place.

Always a nice simple park.

One of my favorite local spots to experience nature up close.

You can turtles,heron and geese plus ducks

This is one of my favorite walking routes. Each season brings new views, new migrating birds, a calm rolling river or a raging torrent. Walk, run, bike or rollerblade.

Great place for bird watching

This is one of my favorite places go walk with my dog (on leash). In good weather, I enjoy watching the native turtles sunning themselves on logs put in the water for them. I like seeing the waterfowl and appreciate the native plants. The park trail feels safe, although I do see homeless camps from time to time. Trail is medium accessible (not paved).

ProsWide, well maintained, even, gravel path. Toddlers and more rugged strollers would be fine.Close in to town for a quick nature break.Lots of wildlife - ducks, geese, herons, osprey, supposed to be turtles and fish (bass and salmon among others). We see birdwatchers and fishermen a lot.Educational signs along the path.2 small parking lots.ConsMainly the road noise. Its set between Goodpasture Island Road and the Delta Highway. Goodpasture noise depends on the time of day but Delta Highway is always loud. Not the place to come for peace and quiet and to hear the birds sing.NeutralIts not a loop. Only out and back on the same path.

I used to drive past these ponds every day, so I went to check them out. There are long, peaceful paths through the ponds that a great for walking. Trail is made of mulch, so it is easy on the feat. Not much shade, so wear a hat.

We take our dogs there all the time for a nice relax stroll

Love seeing the turtles sunning themselves on warm days! Great place to walk dogs and soak up some nature!

Great path to walk the dogs around maybe do some fishing

Whats to say its just a great place to kick back and relax. The water rushes By its close to my house. I love to relax here!!

I got to see tons of turtles! These are the first turtles I’ve seen in Oregon since moving to Oregon from Kentucky two years ago. I also love the keys and the ducks and the frogs in the pond and the path. Very pretty tranquil relaxing walk

Great place to fish and enjoy the day...

Amazing views of the river. Areas were so clean and quiet, couldnt tell you were in the middle of a concrete jungle. Everyone should visit.

Nice nature spot perfect for a short walk pretty much in the middle of town..

It was warm and cool.

Great spot to see dozen and dozens of bird species

Best bird watching. Popular daily jog spot. Frequented by elderly.

Beautiful by foot or by kayak in all seasons.

Good walking trails. Might get a bit buggy towards the water at times but overall a beautiful spot

Noisey with the highway right there, but nice level walk with some wildlife, ducks, Canadian geese, and nutria swimming around. Plus some song birds, raven and what i think was a hawk, or in that family. Was sunny and warm. Was a nice walk

Pros: lots of nature nice walkways easy for stroller and dogs.Cons no loop and no benches lots of highway noise

Riverine ponds, trees, islets and some variety of northwest species using the area seasonally or year round draw us back to Delta Ponds, in the midst of an urbanized environment, month after month~and sometimes weekly~ through the course of the years.

This is a wonderful place to walk around or sit down and relax. There are some benches along the way and there is a porta potty on one end and parking. Dogs are allowed if leashed and you pick up after them.

Unbelievable proximity to natural habitats. We saw a family of nutria with 2 young, 5 duckings with parents, multiple squirrels and Canadia geese, all without leaving paved paths. Always worth a visit.

Its a beautiful park. Great for bird watching or turtle watching. The path is nice and wide and to me it seemed like a wheelchair could totally go on the path no problem. Beautiful views of the water and the animal life there. Very family friendly. Oh and if you play pokemon, get ready to catch some water creatures!

One of the best nature reserves in Oregon. Period. Ive seen ducks, Geese, Turtles, Frogs, Herins, Nutria, Beavers, so many animals. Not to mention gorgeous plantlife.

Its a beautiful place and you can fish there. Very nice place to take a walk

Nice walk but the parks biggest draw for me is fishing and water access here is limited.

I have enjoyed watching the ever changing Delta Ponds. It was my summer project. I have learned so much.

Beautiful place to take a walk. Wish it had more trash cans and a restroom

Peaceful and Beautiful

Good place to get away from people. Even if theyre all around ya.

Id give it five but they need to connect the two trails for a full loop. I believe that is supposed to happen soon.

Its not a bad place just got a few weirdos in it.it got ducks and flowers, a little trail. Its nothing to boast about but nice for a walk

Very relaxing- nice benches to sit and look over the pond

Great place for a summer stroll and to see a few aquatic birds. Bring bug spray!

Best use of an abandoned gravel pit ever, these ponds are lovely and are a great place to see wildlife (turtles and birds, mostly, with evidence of beavers as well).

Fantastic park. Great spot for a walk.

Great for bird watching

I enjoyed it much more before it was developed

Nice park, but the fishing had gone downhill since the 80s...

Beautiful ️

The pond has been a wonderful birding/animal-watching place for us, not because of the variety of species, but because of the smart design of the path, it’s very easy to spot an animal, as if they were on the stage! We visited several times in July and August 2018, saw some residents like Great blue heron, Canada geese, killdeer, mallards, egrets...etc., also saw nutrias (family of six )for the very first time.

Beautiful place for an urban nature walk. Turtles, birds, fish, nutria, beavers all easy to spot.

All of the bartenders are friendly and have great prices..always 5 stars

I love jogging in this place. So much of Gods creation to see and be amazed!

Fun place to hike and explore.

Nice quiet hiking trail.

Its a great place to walk.Nice trails

Nice short trail with nature, but close to the highway. The trail isnt a loop.

Great place to have lunch, nice for a half-hour getaway.

This place goes on forever! Its very well maintained and the wildlife is everywhere. This place is a must see and plan to spend a few hours exploring!

Love it! Great place to take the dogs!

We saw baby otters! So cute! No bathrooms, be advised
