Pine Ridge Park

Features and Amenities

Nestled in southwest Bend, Pine Ridge Park spreads across 2.3 acres of peaceful green space - a little neighborhood oasis that's meant for those seeking a breather from the daily grind. The open turf area gives you plenty of room to toss a frisbee, kick a ball around, or simply spread out a blanket and soak up some sunshine.

Kids will love the playful "garden" designed especially for them, where they can climb, explore, and burn off energy in a safe setting. One of our favorite things about this park is the abundance of mature trees dotting the landscape. These gentle giants not only provide welcome shade during Oregon's warmer months but also create that tranquil, secluded feeling that makes Pine Ridge feel like a true escape.

Facilities and Access

Packed a lunch? Head over to the picnic area with a shade shelter where you can enjoy outdoor meals without worrying about sunburn. The park's multi-use trails connect seamlessly with the surrounding neighborhood, making it easy to incorporate into your morning jog or evening dog walk routine.

Recreation and Environment

If you're looking for a place to reset and recharge, Pine Ridge Park delivers with its notably peaceful atmosphere. The natural soundtrack of chirping birds and rustling leaves makes it an ideal spot to unwind with a book or practice some outdoor yoga. Bringing Fido along? You'll be happy to know the park is dog-friendly, but do remember to keep your four-legged friends on a leash and clean up after them.

The thoughtful layout creates a safe space that works especially well for families with young children or anyone seeking a quiet outdoor retreat away from more crowded recreation areas.

Location and History

You'll come across Pine Ridge Park tucked away in southwest Bend, conveniently located near Pine Ridge Elementary School. It's a relatively new addition to Bend's impressive collection of parks, having been developed in 2010.

Getting here is straightforward, with street parking available for those coming by car. The park's neighborhood setting means it rarely feels overcrowded - just another reason it's become a cherished spot for local residents.
