Looking for a great place to get your kiddos’ energy out this weekend? The skatepark at Rockridge Park just might do the trick!

In addition to the skatepark, this community park offers a variety of outdoor activities for everyone, including a 9-hole disc golf course, bike skills course, a playground with natural play features, paved and unpaved paths, picnic areas, and more!

Rockridge Park makes you feel like you are miles from town. This beautiful location is characterized by its natural look, with old-growth juniper, rugged lava rock outcrops, and swaths of sage and bitterbrush. Learn more about Rockridge Park at: https://www.bendparksandrec.org/park/rockridge-park/#

(Thanks, JoAanna E., for the skatepark recommendation and your photo submission)

Due to staffing shortages, BPRD is reducing its pool hours during afternoons and evenings on weekdays. Your patience is requested while we work to recruit and train additional staff, namely lifeguards who can get an extra $100 weekly bonus for weekday shifts.

Temporary swim changes include:
- Some of the workout on your own and family swim sessions will be on hiatus.
- There may be limited capacity and reduced features available.
- If capacity needs to be limited for swim lessons, the admittance will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.

One possible exception to this situation is if poor air quality conditions persist and the 50-meter outdoor pool at Juniper Swim & Fitness Center is closed due to smoke.

Remaining the same:
- Larkspur morning water fitness classes, JSFC morning activities, fall swim lessons, swim and water polo team activities, dry land group exercise classes, and the fitness centers are not currently impacted by the operational changes.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!

The district is improving the Haul Road Trail from McKay Park and west to the Deschutes National Forest’s boundary. Trail surfaces are being repaired and the last 1.5 miles will be paved to an accessible standard to provide a desirable close-to-home trail opportunity that will reach into the National Forest.

Please follow detours and closures on sections of the Haul Road Trail while it's under construction. The closure is for your safety and the health of the landscape around the trail. We promise the finished trail will be worth the wait. Thank you!
