Sawyer Park Asset Replacement Project

Project Overview

Sawyer is one of Bend’s oldest and most beloved parks. Years of use and increased visitation have created the need for an updated entrance and parking lot. The existing ones have reached the end of their life span and no longer provide the needed functionality and capacity for the park.

During design, the location of the parking lot will be evaluated to consider moving it closer to O.B. Riley Road. Accessible parking and ADA access into the park will be included in the project to better serve all patrons and visitors.

A separate BPRD project to reduce fire fuels and improve forest health is occurring in the west side of the park. Please visit the fire management page to learn more.
