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.

For more information about adopting a park or trail or scheduling a project for your group, contact:

Kim Johnson
Community Engagement Supervisor

Through a partnership, North Pacific Juniors (NPJ) Volleyball Club and Bend Park and Recreation District, five new sand volleyball courts were constructed at Pine Nursery Park, south of the dog park. BPRD provided the land at Pine Nursery Park, and NPJ constructed and will maintain and operate the courts.

Open play on the courts is available to the public at all times other than tournaments and programmed activities by NPJ or BPRD. During scheduled tournaments, all courts will be closed to the public until the tournament concludes. During programmed activities there will be two courts designated for open public use. The courts are available for private rental for the purposes of training, practices, clinics, camps, tournaments, parties or events. All rentals will be managed by NPJ.

More information about NPJ and court space rentals is available on their website at or visit their Facebook page for Pine Nursery Courts. Schedules will also be available on-site at the kiosk.

Bend FC has served the Central Oregon soccer community for almost two decades with more than 3,000 boys and girls participating in competitive and recreational soccer programs through the organization each year.

Bend FC is leading a 10-year project to transform eight acres of Pine Nursery Park into a competition-level, all-season athletic facility.

  • Phase I, 2015-2020: construction of two synthetic turf fields, outdoor lighting and fencing is complete.
  • Phases II & III, 2020-2026: construct two additional synthetic turf fields, clubhouse, outdoor lighting, fencing and complex infrastructure.

The existing fields are scheduled and rented by Bend FC and generally open play times are available to the public. If you are interested in using the fields, please visit their website for more information.  Artificial turf fields come with some extra needs to keep them in tip top shop. Please read through the Rules of Use before stepping onto the fields.

Bob Wenger Dog Off-Leash Area – In Memoriam

Our deepest Gratitude to Bob for his spirit and dedication

A tireless supporter of off-leash opportunities, Bob had a particular interest for the Pine Nursery off-leash area. In addition to being instrumental in the park’s planning, he contributed countless hours to creating trails, pulling weeds and setting out buckets for people to clean up after their dogs as well as other efforts to make the park enjoyable for humans and canines alike. His passion and dedication can be seen throughout the OLA – it just wouldn’t be what it is today without Bob.

Volunteer your time. Contributions big and small will help sustain Bob’s legacy. If you are interested in volunteering with DogPAC contact happytails@dogpac.org.

About Off-Leash Areas


Dogs are a part of many Bendites’ lives and involved with their owners in many recreational adventures. In Bend, there’s so much to do with your four-legged friend including:

  • Walk and run on the trails and paths
  • Swim in the Deschutes River
  • Play, walk and run off-leash at nine off-leash areas.

No matter the activity or adventure, it’s important that dog owners manage their dog responsibly so that everyone can enjoy the parks and trails.

City of Bend law and Bend Park & Recreation District rules require that:

  • Dogs are to be leashed up in public except in official off-leash areas.
  • Dog owners are to clean up after their dog. To help out, dog waste bags and trash receptacles are available at many Bend parks and trails.

Off-Leash Area Rules


Off-Leash Areas in Bend ParksThe intent of these rules is to create a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for all park users.

  • No aggressive dogs allowed. Immediately remove your dog from the park if it is misbehaving or acting in an aggressive manner.
  • Keep dogs on leash outside designated off-leash areas.
  • Pick up and dispose of your dog’s waste.
  • Remain in visual sight and voice control of your dog at all times.
  • Carry a leash for each dog in your care.
  • Closely supervise young children. Children under the age of 12 may not be in the off-leash area unsupervised.
  • Accept responsibility for any damage or injury caused by your dog.
  • Bring no more than three dogs to the off-leash area at any time.
  • Do not bring a dog in heat to a Bend park.
  • Do not bring a puppy without a complete cycle of vaccinations to a Bend park.
  • Display tags showing proof of current license and rabies vaccinations on all dogs.
  • Consider using natural materials like sticks when playing with your dog in the river.
  • Please be courteous to neighbors and control excessive barking.

Kid's in Off-Leash Areas



Children under the age of 12 are not allowed in Bend off-leash areas unsupervised. Here is some guidance for those with children in an off-leash area:

  • Not all dogs are child-friendly. Do not allow your child to approach or pet a strange dog without the owner’s presence and approval.
  • A running, squealing or screaming child may become a target for many dogs, because the child resembles an injured animal or prey.
  • Do not let your child have toys or food in an off-leash area.
  • Children are more susceptible to contracting intestinal worms and other infections from touching grass where feces or urine are present. Be sure your children (and you) always wear shoes in an off-leash park area and wash hands after touching dog play toys.

Small Dogs in Off-Leash Areas



Ponderosa Small Dog Area entranceWhen it comes to off-leash areas, a designated space for small dogs to have a play and activity level that's in their proportion rather than with big dogs can be a great option for small dog owners.

Currently, there are fenced small dog areas at Alpenglow, Riverbend, Pine Nursery and Ponderosa Parks. The criteria for small dogs is less than 15 inches at the shoulder and under 25 pounds.

If you would like to comment on the small dog parks, email us at info@bendparksandrec.org or call (541) 389-7275.

Learn more about dog-friendly parks and off-leash areas. 

Pine Nursery Park was acquired in 2004 from the U.S. Forest Service and required two Acts of Congress to develop the park. The pond work was supported by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in 2006 and the park development was supported by a local government grant in 2008. The name of the park is believed to have originated as a reference to the original site use.
