We’re seeing lots of smiling faces in the new indoor pool at Larkspur Community Center!

The 4,000-square-foot pool contains 135,000-gallons of water and also features a hot tub. The pool has a soft-touch floor that’s great for water walking and shallow water exercise. The pool’s depth has gradual ranges to support both shallow and deep-water activities.

The pool has a current channel with a hydro feature in its center, providing resistance for working out and for recreating. A platform lift, pool lift, and multiple stairs ensure easy water entry and exit.

It's time for another "Spring on the Trails!" feature.

Next up in our trail series: The Central Oregon Historic Canal Trail. At four miles long, this trail is currently under development, but many sections are open for public use. This gravel trail parallels the canal while connecting you to parks, trails and businesses, so it’s perfect for work and play!

The trail runs from the Deschutes River to Reed Market Rd. This section provides easy access to the Deschutes River Trail, Blakely Park, the Old Mill District, 3rd St., Reed Market Rd. and more. It includes a tunnel under Highway 97, an under-crossing at Brookswood Blvd., and a pedestrian-activated crossing signal at 3rd Street. An additional section of trail is open between 15th Street and Ferguson Avenue. Please note: there is currently no public access along the canal through the Nottingham neighborhood.

Evelyn, a Bend Park & Recreation District volunteer, and senior center patron shared her enthusiasm for the opportunities that Larkspur Community Center offers for making connections with others.

“I’m most excited about seeing former enthusiasts and I’m really looking forward to meeting new ones. I have missed saying hello to staff and participants. The chatter, laughter, smiles, and energy add goodness to my life. After taking the tour of the new Larkspur Community Center, my spirit was lifted. I could feel the energy was coming back.”
