Parks & Recreation
Known to many for its natural beauty, Oregon boasts three state parks and a state forest all within a ten-minute drive of its borders. These include White Pines Forest State Park, with camping, cabins, fine dining and drivable water fords; Castle Rock State Park, with trails to the "top of the rocks;" Lowden-Miller State Park, featuring Lorado Taft's sculpture, "The Eternal Indian," who is known throughout the Midwest as Chief Blackhawk; and Lowden-Miller State Forest, 2,225 acres offering hiking, backpacking, birding, hunting and cross-country skiing.

Inside its city limits, Oregon has over 130 acres of outdoor and indoor recreation including 10 city parks with two indoor facilities. Visitors and residents can enjoy tennis courts, ball diamonds, state-of-the-art playground equipment, indoor and outdoor swimming, water sports and camping.
