Bill Smith has been a friend of BPRD for decades. He built popular trails in the Old Mill District, gave permission for the construction of the Bend Whitewater Park partially on his property, sold Riverbend Park for much less than its value, and traded property with BPRD for Farewell Bend Park. His love of animals extended beyond his beloved cats to also include dogs by leasing to us the off-leash area next to Riverbend Park. Bill understood that open spaces in and around the Old Mill District would benefit the community and we are thankful for his lasting contributions. Our thoughts are with the Smith family.
