Park Description
At 115 acres, Richardson Park is the largest developed park in the County Parks system. It is accessible by major roads in all directions and is the closest RV campground to the cities of Eugene and Veneta. With 88 sites, a large day use area, and three picnic shelters, it is one of the most visited County parks. An 8,000 square-foot picnic shelter was completed in 2004. The three-roofed structure houses a full-service, outdoor kitchen and seats 300 people. Richardson has a 212-slip marina, a swimming area, play structures, game areas, and an outdoor amphitheater.
