Comprising 3.5 acres in the Shevlin West neighborhood in northwest Bend, Manzanita Ridge Park features a playground, open lawn, seating areas and picnic facilities, shade shelter, soft surface and paved trails, and ADA-designated street parking. A unique highlight of the park, a large beaver play structure constructed of logs is sure to capture the attention and imagination of all ages.
Running adjacent to the park, a district-owned natural area features the soft-surface Manzanita Ridge Park Connector Trail that runs from the park’s north end to the Manzanita Trail, the Shevlin Park trails system and Discovery Park. The park was opened in fall 2025.
Care for Parks, Trails & Off Leash Areas
Volunteers help keep Bend’s parks, trails and off leash areas beautiful and safe places for everyone to enjoy!
Adopt-a-Park or Trail or Off Leash Area
Groups, businesses, schools, families or individuals can adopt a park, off leash area or section of Bend’s urban trail system. Volunteers help care for their adopted space by visiting regularly all year – picking up litter, pulling invasive weeds and keeping an eye out for vandalism, weather damage and potential safety hazards. Volunteers make at least a one year commitment and complete a monthly volunteer activity report.
Group Park Projects:
Your group can make a big impact by helping with a landscape maintenance project in a park.
Opportunities may be available in spring and fall, depending on the weather and vary based on the size of the group and current District needs. Projects are typically 2-3 hours and may include activities such as raking planting areas, spreading bark or playground chips, pulling invasive weeds and picking up litter. BPRD staff provides support for your group’s efforts and supplies any tools or materials needed for the project.

This park’s land was acquired by the district in 2021 from the developers of the Shevlin West subdivision and was previously known as the Shevlin West Park Site while in early development.
During the first round of public outreach conducted in spring 2023, a park name including the word “manzanita” was the top recommendation by neighbors. Manzanita plants are present on and around the property and especially abundant on the adjacent natural area’s ridge. In addition, the park has a connection to the Manzanita Trail.
In accordance with the district’s naming policy, the BPRD board of directors approved “Manzanita Ridge Park” as the park’s name on June 20, 2023.
