Pine Nursery Park Site
Phase One Construction: May 2007 to May 2010
The
site is located in NE Bend between Purcell, Deschutes Market,
and Yeoman Roads. The district plans on developing
approximately 159 acres at total build-out, including Community
Park facilities, a neighborhood park, sports complex, natural
areas, fitness trails, bike trails, nature trails, support
facilities, connections to surrounding residential lands, an
off-leash recreation area, and room for future expansion. The
Bend LaPine School District has completed construction of
Ponderosa elementary school on 15 acres at the Northwest corner
of the park.
Park construction began in May 2007 by building the irrigation
supply lines and pond for watering the future community park
facilities. The State Reclamation and Enhancement Board helped
by funding a matching grant to provide a fishing pond for Bend
anglers, and the Oregon State Parks local government grant
program will help fund park development.
Trails, an off-leash dog area, the fishing pond, and access to natural areas are complete. Sports Complex activities will be scheduled in the summer of 2010.
