Featuring Cascade mountain views, this is a natural area park located west of Bend’s city limit adjacent to Tetherow resort community and First on the Hill neighborhood.
The park provides a primary trail connection to the east, through the Broken Top neighborhood to Cascade Middle School and Skyline Sports Complex. Trails also connect to the Haul Road Trail along the south side of Century Drive and to the Forest Service trails to the west. Internal trails include single track soft surface trails.
The park location was burned over in the 1991 Awbrey Hall wildfire and lost much of its tree cover. It has since been the site of several district-sponsored Arbor Week events and the pine seedlings that have been planted are beginning to mature. Good for naturewatching, one can spot several wildlife species including deer, quail, coyotes and bobcats.
Alpine Park is a neighborhood park established in 1982 and improved in 1999. The property was formerly owned by Deschutes County. Information about the name is not known.
