Nobel Peace Park

The Nobel Peace Park is located at the main entrance to Alton Baker Park in Eugene, Oregon.  The serpentine pathway to peace highlights the 24 plaques, each providing a profile of the American Nobel Peace Laureate.  At both entrances to the park, there are educational alcoves, donated by Ruby Brockett, for conversations, gatherings or individual contemplation.  The Nobel Peace Park is a perfect setting for inspiring all of us to promote a more peaceful world.  

In 2004, the Norwegian Nobel Committee granted naming permission for the Nobel Peace Laureate Project to establish the Nobel Peace Park in Eugene, Oregon.

Several Nobel Peace Laureates, Claes Nobel, (Oregon resident and great grand-nephew of Alfred Nobel), as well as city and state legislators endorsed the formation of this unique park.  Click here to see a complete list of endorsements.

The Eugene City Council unanimously approved construction of the park.

The Eugene City Parks and Open Spaces designated a two-acre site inAlton Baker Park near the DeFazio Bridge for the Nobel Peace Park to be constructed.

In 2007 construction began.  The project cost approximately $225,000, with nearly half of the total costs coming from donated materials, labor and professional assistance. The Nobel Peace Laureate plaques were sponsored by individuals, groups and businesses.  

In 2013, the  Nobel Peace Park was opened to the public with a ribbon cutting ceremony with John Attig, founder, Mayor Kitty Piercy, Claes Nobel and Marcus Nobel.
