At BCTN, we’re always exploring the community together!
During the school day, we visit a variety of safe, local places so you can get to know your community and feel confident navigating it. Many of these spots are within walking distance of BCTN and Willamette High School—making them great places to go back to on your own or with family and friends.
Our goal is to help you build the skills and confidence to explore your community safely and independently.
The Bethel Branch of the Eugene Public Library, located at 1990 Echo Hollow Rd, is a great place for students to visit.

Looking for a place to walk, relax, or see some wildlife? Golden Gardens Park is a great local spot! There’s a two-mile trail, places to sit, and a pond where you might see ducks, geese, cranes—even otters. It’s a peaceful place to hang out, get outside, and explore.
