Read more about this location
Juniper Park is one of Bend's strongest officially documented accessible play stops. Bend Park & Recreation highlights the playground's enhanced accessible features, including a pod-style layout connected by concrete pathways and a mix of sound and tactile play elements, spinning and balance play, swings, and climbing. It works especially well for families who want a clearly connected layout rather than a single crowded structure, and it sits inside a larger city park setting with restrooms and parking nearby.
