Bend Park and Recreation District is closely following the announcements by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the governor’s office regarding eliminating requirements for mask use by fully vaccinated individuals. We request patience as we work quickly to gain answers and clarity from local and state public health officials regarding the recommended changes and how it may affect our facilities and programs. For now, our current rules apply.

Updated guidance from Oregon Health Authority will be crucial before any decisions are made regarding possible changes at Bend Park and Recreation District. We continue to encourage our park and recreation staff and patrons to educate themselves about COVID-19 and to get vaccinated, as a way to improve the public health situation for the entire community. Updated information will be shared in the coming days.

For Bend’s little bikers and scoots: Check out these excellent paths to get outside and have fun this spring!

A few ideas:

Discovery, Eagle, and Empire are charming neighborhood parks with paved paths winding throughout green spaces.
