Summary

From the Bend Parks and Recreation District website: This popular downtown community gathering place hosts many events throughout the spring, summer and fall, including the District’s Old Fashioned July 4th Celebration.Features include nearly a half mile of riverfront, acres of open lawn, an outdoor stage, restrooms and small picnic tables. A major renovation project for this park was completed in 2003. The restrooms have been upgraded, pathways throughout the park have been replaced with pavers making the walkway wider, new irrigation and lighting systems have been installed, bike racks have been installed, a seating and viewing area was added at Mirror Pond and the High Wheel has made a triumphant return to the park. Drake Park is more beautiful than ever!Drake Park is home to Great Horned Owls who are actively nesting with their owlet. A portion surrounding the nest will be closed off to the public during the month of May. Once the owlet fledges, the fencing will be removed.
