Quail Park

Natural Setting

Positioned in Bend, Oregon, Quail Park is one of those spots you might miss if you weren't looking for it. Just west of Central Oregon Community College and Mt. Washington Drive, this cozy space is nestled among family homes, creating a peaceful little haven away from the bustle.

What makes this park special is that about half of it still maintains its native conifer cover - a nice reminder of what the land naturally looks like in this part of Oregon. If you live nearby, you're in luck - trail connections from surrounding neighborhoods make it easy to wander over for a quick dose of nature.

Recreational Amenities

For a smaller park, Quail packs in quite a bit. Kids can burn off energy at the well-maintained playground with quality equipment. There's a generous lawn area great for throwing down a blanket, reading a book, or tossing a frisbee. If you're feeling more active, there are options for that too.

The basketball court is available for a quick pickup game. There's also a pickleball court in decent shape - just remember to bring your own net if pickleball is on your agenda for the day.

Community Features

Quail Park has that genuine neighborhood feel that's getting harder to find. The picnic area and shelter make it ideal for small get-togethers - nothing fancy, just comfortable. Dog owners will appreciate how very dog-friendly the space is, giving both you and your four-legged friend a chance to socialize.

Regardless of whether you're planning a family lunch, meeting up with friends, or just need some quiet time outdoors, the mix of open spaces and recreational options fits the bill nicely.

Visitor Information

One practical perk: the park has nice bathrooms on-site - always a plus when you're out with kids or planning to stay a while. The layout works well for both quick visits and longer hangouts, depending on what your day calls for.

There's something calming about this little park - nothing flashy, just a well-maintained space where you can take a breath and enjoy some time outside in your community.
