[edit] About the Crest Drive Citizens Association
The Crest Drive neighboorhood is situated in the south hills of Eugene, Oregon. Characterized by winding narrow roads and forested hillsides, our neighborhood offers a beautiful "country in the city" feeling. We are an active neighborhood association and if you live in the following area, we invite your participation.
The CDCA area runs from Willamette Street at 29th Avenue west along 29th Avenue to Lorane Highway, then north on Washington Street to 28th Avenue, and again west along 28th Avenue to Chambers. From Chambers, the boundary turns north to 24th Avenue, then west to City View. From that point, it follows City View as if it were extended south to the south edge of the McClean subdivision. Next, the boundary runs south and east along the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) to the intersection of Pine Wood and Ridgewood Drives, then moves along Pinewood Drive and east to the west line of Densmores plat. Next, the boundary runs north along the Densmores plat’s west line to 40th Street (if extended west), continues east on 40th Street, north on Densmore Road to 39th Avenue, and east along 39th Avenue to Willamette Street, where it runs north on Willamette to 29th Avenue.

- MAY THROUGH OCTOBER: a note from Morse Ranch manager:
The Morse Ranch is a public, multi-use park that has several trails and variable open times. It also has two reservable event facilities. The main floor of the house or the picnic shelter and ENTIRE adjoining field are sometimes closed to the public during reservations. As a gentle reminder, it is asked that park visitors respect the posted reservation signs and NOT enter the the entire field between the parking lot and shelter, nor the shelter, during reserved events. The same policy applies to the City's Day Camp when in effect at the park, June through August, Monday through Friday. For more information, please call 682-5380.

- do enjoy the WILD TURKEYS roaming the neigbhorhood, but before you decide to feed them, please consider the following (information provided by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife):
--- each female lays 10-20 eggs each year and in residential areas with lots of food and few threats, most of the little ones survive --- the Timberline area in south Eugene has flocks of one hundred or so individual birds --- aside from damaged and fouled outdoor areas and gardens, damage reported in south Eugene includes damage to roofs and dented cars from large flocks landing on them --- turkey droppings may contain salmonella, so wash thoroughly after disposing of droppings and make sure your pets do not come in contact with them --- turkeys are protected wildlife and it is illegal to chase the birds or otherwise attempt to encourage them to leave your property without an ODFW permit - please call Chris or Brian at the ODFW at 726-3515 for further information
