Shevlin Park

Shevlin park is somewhere we would visit every summer growing up when visiting family in the area. They have great trails, fishing, picnicking, and even slow spots where you can get in the water. Shevlin park has a teepee that you can check out and go inside of, they have more than one trail, good for bike riding, dog walking, fishing. I remember having picnics here as a kid and I still come back as an adult when in the area. They trails are low impact and fairly flat.

Miles of well marked trails and nice picnic spots. Would love to come back during a different season to see the aspen trees in different phases.

I have loved this park and trails since I was a very young child. As a girl scout, we planted trees after the Aubrey Hall fire that threatened to burn down the city. Now I can see them still growing as a 45-year-old woman. The beautiful connection you feel in this park is hard to describe in words. But it is a piece of heaven we call Earth.

Creekside Park is a peaceful and picturesque spot, perfect for a relaxing walk. The flat trails are easy to navigate and follow a quiet creek lined with trees. A charming bridge crosses the water, making a great place to pause and enjoy the view. Birdsong fills the air, with woodpeckers tapping in the trees and butterflies floating by. It’s a great place to unwind, watch wildlife, and enjoy a bit of calm.

This is a gorgeous park, whether you're new to Bend and getting to know what Central Oregon is like, or even if you're a local who is familiar with the unique landscape. It's not too far from the city area itself and located in a wealthy part of town, but accessible to any person who wants to check out the nature. A good place to walk and observe the world around you, and especially beautiful in the autumn season, even though it can get quitw chilly. People like to take their dogs here, or even take pictures of the lovely landscape.
