Site work for a playground / park / athletic field in Bend, Oregon. Completed plans call for site work for a playground / park / athletic field.

https://bendbulletin.com/2025/11/12/guest-column-four-parks-on-the-edges-of-bend/ A colleague and his family recently moved to Bend, and they spent the summer exploring the playgrounds of their new community. We recently discussed their favorites, and I was pleased to see that several of the top choices are located on the edges of the community where housing growth is rapid. They are also dispersed evenly between north and south and east and west. Without getting too much into the details of how parks are planned, it isn’t a coincidence that new and renovated parks are dispersed throughout Bend and in places that are expected to grow in numbers and density. It’s part of the plan to serve many households with parks and trails within close proximity to home.  Here are a few park picks if you are looking to explore this fall: Manzanita Ridge Park (West) Our newest park, opened in October, is 3.5-acre Manzanita Ridge Park in the Shevlin West neighborhood in northwest Bend. It 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 already a favorite for all ages, including avid Duck fans like me. 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. There are also lounge chairs for viewing the night sky, which is a first for the park district.  _____________________________ Project includes construction of a neighborhood park & the work includes constructing open lawn, picnic & gathering space, play area & play surfacing, paved path & soft surface trails, landscaping & irrigation.
