Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The district is nearing the home stretch on a year-long project to develop a roadmap
for how it can improve in being a more diverse, equitable and inclusive organization.
The project goals are to assess strengths, opportunity for improvement and to
develop actions to build trust with members of the community who have been
historically underrepresented and underserved. BPRD hired Talitha Consults to lead
the project, which includes the survey, an organizational assessment and action plan.
The district will share the survey results, organizational assessment and action plan
by late 2021, and begin implementing the actions immediately following. To learn

the good life at
Goodrich Park
Welcome to Northeast Bend’s newest neighborhood park.
Formerly a pasture, Goodrich Pasture Park recently opened to the public in Bend’s Orchard
District. It’s a 2.46-acres park located at 11th Street and Quimby Avenue.
The property was purchased by Bend Park and Recreation District to meet its level of service
targets for residents. The site had been used as a pasture by the Goodrich family since the 1940s.
Features include a large open lawn, exploratory play areas, paved pathways, picnic benches and
seating areas, small demonstration garden, bike parking, ADA parking and ADA accessible
portable restroom.
Construction on the park began in fall 2020. The project also included a portion of right-of-
way work, including street infrastructure and sidewalks in partnership with the City of Bend.
In addition, there is a safer pedestrian crossing at Penn Avenue and 11th Street to enable access
from the neighborhood to the south.

Discover the
Outback Trail The newest trail connection to Shevlin Park.
There’s a new trail section open that connects Discovery Park to Shevlin Park on Bend’s
westside. The section of the Outback Trail passes through 30 acres of undeveloped
land west of Discovery Park that will soon be transferred to Bend Park and Recreation
District and preserved as open space. The Outback Trail enables trail users to use parking
at Discovery Park to access the more than 22 miles of trails within Shevlin Park.
“The new Outback Trail is ready for use at a great time when the benefits of spending
time outdoors have never been greater,” said Henry Stroud, park district trail planner.
“This trail connection greatly enhances safer, non-motorized access to Shevlin Park from
Bend’s west side allowing trail users to avoid the stress of riding on or along Skyliners
Road.”
Curbside parking is available at Discovery Park along NW Discovery Park Drive and NW
Crossing Drive/NW Crosby Drive. Parking is also possible at Phil’s Trailhead.
For more information and photos, visit the Outback Trail web page.

Women of Discovery.
The Outback Trail can be accessed directly from Discovery Park and features the “Women of Discovery” mural
in the undercrossing beneath the Skyline Ranch Road bridge. “Women of Discovery” was painted by local artist
Douglas Robertson and was commissioned by NWX2 LLC in coordination with BPRD. The trail currently has a gravel
surface and will be relocated and replaced by a permanent asphalt trail as future phases of Discovery West are
developed.

Recreation Scholarships
We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to participate in recreation activities. Financial
need-based scholarship assistance is available to qualifying individuals for many recreation programs. The
goal is to remove financial barriers for community members with limited financial resources. In the last
year, approximately 700 individuals and families have participated in programs with support that provides
safe, enriching activities and contribute to a physically active community.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: how do I know if a program can be offered?
A: In general, most of our recreation programs are permitted to occur as mandated by the
State of Oregon. Modifications to the program may occur as a result of the public health
situation. If BPRD cancels a program, program fees will be credited to your account or
refunded upon request.
Q: are face coverings required? what about distancing?
A: We are following local and national guidance as the public health situation changes. As of
August 2021, face coverings will be required for indoor programs. Details will be provided by
recreation coordinators in advance of a registration activity if there is additional guidance for
participants.
Q: how are program participants managed?
A: The State of Oregon informs the number of participants allowed for recreation
programs. Class sizes may be changed – either increased or decreased – to meet distancing
requirements. Our goal is to ensure a high-quality experience for all participants.
Q: what if a program is cancelled?
A: Credits will be automatically issued for any canceled or shortened classes and facility
passes will be automatically paused for the duration of a closure. There is no need for patrons
to request credits and extensions. Refunds are available upon request.
Q: what if a participant or staff member tests positive?
A: We work quickly with the Deschutes County Health Department on notification when a
confirmed case occurs. This is why registration and check-in are key. Notification may be done
by BPRD or the county for the safety of patrons, staff and volunteers.
