Location: 
On the northwest side of Corvallis, on Walnut Blvd.  The address is 4905 NW Walnut Blvd.

Size: 
Approximately 29 acres 

The Martin Luther King Jr. Park features natural meadow areas with upland prairie and riparian habitats. It is known for being home to Walnut Barn, a converted barn that is available to rent for parties and events (amplified sound is no longer allowed at Walnut Barn). 

The park includes a badminton turf area, and 2 horseshoe pits. There is a paved multi-modal path to Ponderosa Ave. and a one-mile dirt and gravel trail that includes two small bridges spanning Lamprey Creek and ascends the hill to a scenic view. There are good wildflower displays here in spring and summer. The park also has a designated "dogs off-leash" area.

There is a planned path resurfacing project between MLK Park and Ponderosa Avenue. As of now, the closure is planned for July 22 to August 16, 2024.
