Overturf Park

Park Overview

Situated in Bend, this charming 1.7-acre green space has been welcoming visitors since its development in 2006, after being acquired just three years earlier.

Nestled right beside the City of Bend's Overturf Butte Reservoir property, the park seamlessly blends with the natural surroundings, creating an excellent little oasis for neighborhood gatherings and quiet afternoon breaks.

Trails and Nature

If you're looking to stretch your legs, the park connects to the Cascade Highlands Trail and a well-maintained trail system popular with both hikers and casual walkers.

Take a moment to relax under the shade trees or spread out a blanket on the well-kept lawn. Feeling a bit adventurous? Head up the slopes for some surprisingly rewarding views that you might not expect from a neighborhood park.

Recreational Amenities

The playground here is a hit with the younger crowd - particularly toddlers who can happily climb and slide while parents catch up with neighbors or enjoy a moment of peace.

What makes Overturf stand out from other local green spaces are its quirky additions. Challenge a friend to a game at the horseshoe pit or exercise your brain with a match at the checker table top - little touches that add character to this community space.

Pet-Friendly Features

Dog parents, take note: while the main park keeps things on-leash, there's an off-leash dog area accessible via a trail connection. Just be prepared for a somewhat steep climb to reach it.

This freedom zone near Skyliner Summit Loop gives your four-legged friends room to run and play. On rainy days, your pup might even discover puddles to splash in - always a canine favorite.

Accessibility

No need to circle the block looking for street parking - there's a designated lot that makes visiting hassle-free whether you're a local or just exploring the area.

The park keeps consistent hours from 5AM to 10PM daily, ideal for early morning joggers and evening stargazers alike.
