About the Venue

Opened in fall 2025, Manzanita Ridge Park gives northwest Bend families a newer playground with a more connected, access-friendly setup than a basic neighborhood tot lot. Bend Park & Recreation lists wheelchair accessibility, ADA-designated street parking, paved trails, soft-surface trails, seating, picnic facilities, and a shade shelter. The standout play feature is a large beaver structure built from logs, and the adjacent connector trail links the park into a wider natural-area network for families who like to combine playtime with a short walk.
