Looking for a new trail to explore? A hidden gem in the BPRD park system is the Alpine Trail. The Alpine Trail is located within Alpine Park, an undeveloped natural area on the southwest side of town. The trail offers stunning views of the Cascade Mountains and connects to the U.S. Forest Service trail system to the west via the COD Trail, and to the Haul Road Trail and the Discovery Trail via a paved trail along Meeks Trail Road. Access to the trailhead is on SW Swarens Avenue.

Have you heard of Judge Deiz? She was the first woman of color to be a judge in Oregon in 1970 and the first Black woman admitted to the Oregon State Bar. Read about Judge Deiz’ many achievements at: https://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/articles/deiz-mercedes

February is Black History Month. It’s a time to honor the contributions and achievements from Black Americans. These important stories have shaped who we are as a community, state, and country. Committed to equity, Bend Park & Recreation District acknowledges that Black history is American history.

Recent snow in Bend brought many to Shevlin and Drake Parks and sparked fond memories of winters gone by for long-time locals.

Cross country skiing was once an organized activity in the parks, with ski tracks set using a snowmobile and borrowed equipment. Ice skating happened on the pond at Shevlin, with a bonfire close by to warm up afterward. Winter weather changed over time and along with it, the recreation programs and activities offered.

Enjoy winter recreation memories offered by former BPRD staff here: https://www.bendparksandrec.org/parks-trails/centennial-celebration/

Share your stories and photos about skiing and skating in the parks at Centennial@bendparkandrec.org
