My little guy is really into park playgrounds right now…and I seem to always have a ton of errands. To make them a bit more enjoyable for both of us, I thought it’d be fun to start exploring the MANY Bend Parks & Recreation parks with playgrounds (I’ve counted 35) so despite where we were around town, we could just swing by (see what I did there?) a nearby park for a quick play sesh 🙂 So this past week we completed visiting all of the West side parks! Check out our NEW page –> Park Playgrounds: WEST <– featuring each of the 19 Bend Parks & Rec parks with playgrounds on the West side along with some (hopefully) helpful information including a live link for map directions, swings, restrooms, parking and water access. And coming soon -> Park Playgrounds: EAST!
My little park explorer!
