Goodrich Pasture Park

A Slice of Bend's Past

Set in a quiet corner of Bend, Goodrich Pasture Park stands on what was once the Goodrich family's grazing land back in the 1940s. This green space doesn't just offer recreation - it carries a piece of local heritage in every acre.

Under the Pines

As you wander through the park, you'll find yourself in the cooling shade of magnificent Ponderosa pine trees that have stood watch over this land for generations. Their towering presence creates natural canopies excellent for escaping Oregon's summer sun.

The sprawling lawns beneath these giants invite you to spread out a blanket, toss a frisbee, or simply lie back and cloud-watch in this tranquil neighborhood retreat.

Beyond the Ordinary

Tucked among the trees, you'll discover a thoughtfully designed demonstration garden showcasing the beauty of native plants and offering quiet inspiration for sustainable landscaping in your own yard.

Kids won't miss traditional playground equipment here - the park's rock climbing features and exploratory play areas spark imagination and connect children with nature in ways that slides and swings simply can't match.

Finding Your Way

Paved pathways meander across the grounds, making this natural sanctuary accessible whether you're taking a morning jog, pushing a stroller, or rolling along in a wheelchair.

These smooth trails link the park's various sections, so you can easily experience everything from peaceful wooded corners to open sunny spaces in a single visit.

The Practical Stuff

When hunger strikes, head to the picnic area where you can choose between sun-dappled tables or fully shaded spots, depending on the day's weather and your personal preference.

Nature calls? The park offers porta potties for those necessary pit stops during your outdoor adventures.

A Neighborhood Favorite

Goodrich Pasture Park offers a peaceful green retreat where neighbors gather, families connect, and individuals find moments of quiet reflection.

The blend of open spaces and natural elements makes for a calming outdoor experience away from the bustle of everyday life.
