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!

This. I live in deep west Eugene.. I can get to Riverbend in 12 minutes. Faster than I could ever get to University District (UD). Not to mention UD was a glorified staging area for Riverbend.. if you really had something wrong with you, you were being sent to Riverbend anyways. It’s not as dramatic of a loss as people make it out to be.

This is the most frustrating thing about the "wE dOnT hAvE a HoSpItAl" argument. It's new location is better at serving of Eugene as a whole.

Unless there's some sort of emergency where bridges are less accessible or inaccessible... but let's just ignore the issue till we hit that point.

Or if the new Chick-fil-A drive thru gets backed up.
