Trainsong
Trainsong bungalows and ranch styles with large yards
Trainsong mostly has bungalows and ranch-style homes built throughout the 1940s that cost between $300,000 and $400,000. Homes in varying shades of vinyl siding with subtle Craftsman details sit back from their small gravel parking spaces. Though the average home price in Trainsong is around $339,000, compared to the $502,000 average across the Eugene metro area, lots in the neighborhood are often large enough to accommodate workshops, accessory dwelling lots and recreational vehicle parking, sizing up to around a quarter of an acre.

Trainsong Park is under EPA remediation
Trainsong Park lies just north of the main residential cluster of the neighborhood. The green space has a skate park, a playground and a ball field, though part of the park has been closed since April 2022 due to harmful chemicals called dioxins found in its soil. Since then, the Environmental Protection Agency has granted the City of Eugene $1.526 million for the park’s soil remediation. Several other green spaces surround the community as well, including Walnut Grove Park, where benches overlook a fishing pond from a soft hiking trail. A playground, a wading pool, a sand pit and another skatepark are enclosed by towering evergreen trees at nearby Emerald Park.

Laser tag, mini golf at Putters Entertainment Center
Several restaurants and local businesses line Oregon SR-99, including a bar and grill called, The Embers, and the Daynight Donuts shop. The Embers breakfast menu is available all day long and, in the evenings, it hosts live music. True to its name, Daynight Donuts is open 24 hours a day, serving fresh donuts and biscuits doused in gravy. Patrons have a buffet of game options at Putters Entertainment Center, which has bowling lanes, an indoor mini golf course with water features, a video arcade, several pool tables and a laser tag arena. Pizza made with San Marzano tomato sauce and whole milk mozzarella re-energizes patrons for their next round of games. For groceries, WinCo Foods is a little over 3 miles away.

College Now and IB diplomas at Willamette High
Local children may attend Fairfield Elementary School, which receives a C-plus grade from Niche, before enrolling in the C-rated Cascade Middle School. Willamette High School earns a B-minus and introduces students to different career paths through programs centered around business management, industry and engineering, computer science, education and multimedia arts, among other fields. The school also offers an International Baccalaureate Diploma and a College Now program, which consists of 34 courses approved by Lane Community College for post-secondary credit.

Highways and railroad tracks define Trainsong
Trainsong mostly consists of industrial property sandwiched between SR-99 and the Northwest Expressway, with a small residential square on its southwest corner. SR-99 runs along the neighborhood’s west side, eventually leading east into downtown Eugene. It also continues northwest, where it shares miles of roadway with Interstate 5. Barger Road branches off the highway. A few Lane Transit District bus routes stop in the neighborhood, along SR-99, Northwest Expressway and Roosevelt Boulevard.
