A community proud of its past with a progressive eye on its future, Springfield is home to everything from vintage homes to high-tech industry. The Washburne Historic District, Springfield Museum, downtown antique shops, and Dorris Ranch — America’s oldest operating commercial filbert orchard — provide a link to Springfield’s rich history. An extensive modern shopping mall, indoor wave pool, miles of bike paths, city parks and numerous community centers are favorites among locals and visitors.
Sharing a boundary with Eugene means that visitors to Springfield have access to the Hult Center for the Performing Arts, featuring world-class entertainment all year. Symphony, ballet, opera, musical theater, small galleries, music of all kinds, nationally known artists, and live theater give visitors and residents a wide range of choices for their leisure activities. Eugene's University of Oregon, a member of the PAC-10 athletic conference, provides a variety of sports events, frequently world-class, for everyone's entertainment during each season.
