Park Operations Update
Updated Friday, Dec. 19, 2025: 1 p.m. — Storm activity has resulted in downed trees and standing water in some parks and trails including at Shevlin Park, Ponderosa Park, Big Sky Park and Skyline Sports Complex. Exercise caution, observe signs and any temporary closures. Crews are working to monitor conditions and address hazards.
Located in north east Bend, Boyd Park provides a fun combination of developed areas and wild spaces.
The developed portions of the park feature a multi-age playground, open lawn play areas, a picnic pavilion, and a basketball half-court.
The wild spaces of the park include soft surface trails that wind through native landscapes with rock outcroppings and superb mountain and desert views.
Boyd Park was acquired and established in 2008 by Dennis Pahlisch with Elkhorn Land Development. The Boyd family had originally homesteaded in the area, thus providing historical significance to the name. The Boyd Acres Neighborhood Association took interest in the park during development and provided input into the park’s design.
