What amenities do you wish Eugene had? Something to do

For the sake of breaking up the monotony of this sub’s typical posts, what are some amenities you wish we had here? I don’t care if they are unrealistic for the population. I’ll go first: Top Golf and go karts. I don’t want to drive 1.5-2.5 hrs for those up in Wilsonville and Hillsboro more than once a year, and would go to both a many times a year if they were local! Do not mention Swing Suite; I won’t try it since it seems like expensive Wii golf lol!

I searched the sub for a post similar to this and didn’t find one. If there is, I didn’t want to spend more than 15 seconds scrolling for it😆

Edit: The intent of this post is FUN- unrealistic or not. I totally get the valid qualms with Eugene’s problems but that is discussed daily on this sub. I said break up the monotony. For the most part everyone has been great about this and listed some excellent ideas. Please keep this fun and positive and save your grievances for the other posts in this sub that give you this opportunity daily!

Mass transit besides LTD busses

Piggybacking to say, usable public transit to the airport.

Even LTD buses to the airport would be something

That route just doesn't make sense, though. Too much staffing for irregular ridership. There aren't a lot of midday flights so you need like a 4am driver for a couple hours, then a 6-11 driver, and occasionally in the middle of the day. They tried it and it just did not work. They hardly have enough drivers for the routes in town, so keeping two or three drivers busy on a low usage route would be a hard thing to sell.

They should move the airport back to Westmoreland Park

And disrupt my disc golf?!

They could put that on the runways. Liven things up a bit

It’s funny I was just having a conversation about this. The Eugene airport is putting ads all over UO and it’s hilarious how there’s literally no way for any of those uni kids who can’t drive to get out there
