The four primary downtown public spaces are the Park Blocks, 10th and Olive, the Hult Center Plaza, and Kesey Square.
The Park Blocks are often referred to as the "heart of Eugene" due to the area’s historic roots as the city’s original town square and close proximity to important civic destinations. The Park Blocks serve as the home to two Eugene institutions- the Saturday Market and the Lane County Farmers’ Market. Food cart can regularly be found in the Park Blocks, and most recently, the City added a dining deck and attended restroom for park users.
