Harrisburg Parks System

Harrisburg Parks System

Harrisburg currently has 5 great parks in town, and a terrific Museum giving homage to our agricultural roots:

Arrow Leaf Park:  Located off of Arrow Leaf Ave in the northern part of town, this park has a paved half basketball court, a nice grassy area, and a great play structure.  If walking or riding a bike, there is an access sidewalk available from N. 7th St.

Priceboro Park:  Priceboro Park is located right on the southeastern portion of the city of Harrisburg.  It's on the corner of Priceboro & Kramer Ave, (Also known as Sommerville Loop).  Priceboro Park has a great play structure, a small rock climbing wall, and a bench.  (Plus plenty of grass field to play in!)  There is also a restroom in this location. While there is a parking area for vehicles, pedestrians can find a short cut from S. 11th St directly to the park area.

Riverfront Park:  Home of the famous Harrisburg gazebo, and the central point of the Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration, the Riverfront Park runs right along the Willamette River's edge from Fountain St. to Territorial.  Multiple Memorial Benches, and several picnic tables are scattered throughout the Park.  There are swings in the northern section of park, next to Territorial.  Much of the park has shade, and there is access to the Willamette River, and what we affectionately refer to as the Harrisburg Beach.  Public Restrooms are available here.

BN Park:  BN Park is located right next to the tracks on the corner of 4th & Smith St.  It has a beautiful grass area, much of it in shade, and a covered picnic table area.  Public Restrooms are located at the Museum, located right across the street.

Harrisburg Skate Park:  The Skate Park is located at 550 Smith St., right next to the fast tracks, and next to the school playground on the corner of 6th & Smith St.  The park was designed by premier company Dreamland Skate Parks.  It has both street elements, and a bowl.  Bikes without pegs are welcome to use the park. Also, check out and use the Tennis Courts located just east of the Skate Park.

The Harrisburg Area Museum, also called Heritage Park, is located at 490 Smith St, right next to the Fire Station.  It is ran by the Harrisburg Museum Board, and consists of several large buildings with displays, as well as the Witmer House, a small chapel, schoolhouse, and coming soon, a depot building.  There is a large caboose on display on the property.  Public Restrooms are available at this location.  Museum Hours are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 10:00-4:00.  Guided Tours, and Rental of Museum facilities are available through the Museum Board, please contact them at 541-995-4844.  Please note that hours are usually Saturday's only during winter.

Eagle Park:  This park is a former gravel mining operation, which had been owned by Morse Bros, and Knife River following their retirement.  The City made arrangements to purchase this beautiful property in 2007; and finalized purchase while reclamation was being done on the property.  The City has successfully received a $75,000 grant from OPRD (Oregon Parks and Recreation Department), and a $150,000 grant from the Recreational Trails Program (RTP).  The smaller grant will be completed in May 2026.  It included the 1 acre dog park, .32 miles of trail, a parking area with ADA parking, picnic tables, benches, and interactive signs.  The RTP Grant will fund another 1.86 miles of trail in the lower park area.  That includes three trail heads with bulletin boards, and another ADA accessible pathway with benches to watch wildlife or the sunset, above the two lower ponds.   

Due to excessive vandalism of roadways and parking areas, Eagle Park is accessible by vehicle only from Memorial Day to Labor Day.  However, it's always open to pedestrians and bicycle's.
