Our crews are busy this spring, including working on a project near Shevlin Park. A team is mowing brush between Shevlin Commons and Shevlin Park. Please adhere to signs about temporary trail closures, so we can take care of the forest health and reduce fire fuels. The project should wrap up before the weekend. Thanks for understanding!

Happy Earth Day! Here's a couple ideas to celebrate nature and our planet:
- Take a nature-focused walk or bike ride in your neighborhood or on a local trail. Look for the flora and fauna. How many species do you see? Find parks & trails at bendparksandrec.org/parks-trails/.
- Participate in @envirocenterbend's Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 26 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at 16 NW Kansas Ave in Bend. The event will offer interactive activities, educational workshops, local vendors, and opportunities for people of all ages to connect with the environmental causes they care about. Learn more at envirocenter.org/tec-events/earth-day-fair/.

The weather has been beautiful lately.☀️ For those looking for a nice outdoor jaunt in southeast Bend, we recommend the Stone Creek Park Trail. This 1-mile trail is just west of Silver Rail Elementary School. The looped trail system weaves through basalt lava features and natural areas.

Stone Creek Park also features a small bike pump track, a small skate spot, a picnic shelter, picnic tables, open turf, and natural play areas with play features. With over six acres of natural beauty, this park is a welcome retreat into nature right in the heart of a neighborhood.

Access: 61531 Stone Creek Ln, Bend.

BPRD receives frequent complaints about off-leash dogs creating unsafe situations for park users and their leashed pets.

Community feedback includes:
--“A friendly dog knocked over my son when he was two. It took a while to help him overcome his fear of dogs from that experience. We were at a park. The dog was off-leash.”
--“We have had to leave parks because people have their dogs off-leash.”
--“What if I want to take a dog that fears other dogs getting too close? Even if the off-leashed dog is nice, I cannot control the dog in an unpredictable environment.”
--“It’s safer and less stressful for humans and dogs alike.”

When dogs are not on a leash, they can cause unintentional harm to unsuspecting park visitors. Please follow the law and keep dogs on a leash.
