Project Updates
While serving a rapidly growing community, the Bend Metro Park and Recreation District must constantly plan for development and improvement. We provide public parks, trails and recreation facilities such as neighborhood parks, community parks, regional parks and sports fields. Some of our more well-known facilities include the Juniper Swim and Fitness Center, Bend Senior Center, Aspen Hall at Shevlin Park, Hollinshead Barn and the Skyline and Big Sky Park sports complexes. Our 50 neighborhood and community parks typically feature both active and passive recreational opportunities including playgrounds, open lawns, picnic areas, natural areas and trails. Seventeen park sites and natural areas lie along and provide access to the Deschutes River.
BMPRD utilizes public works contracts to complete project work. These projects are posted on line at plansonfile.com, a service offered by Central Oregon Builders Exchange. You can view plans for BMPRD's current projects out for competitive bid at:
