The 13-acre park Drake Park in the Old Bend neighborhood is Bend’s most popular outdoor gathering place, and on weekends, it is bustling with families enjoying Bend’s great weather. Towering ponderosa pines and hardwoods line the Mirror Pond. It is the perfect place to bring your family – it has acres of open lawn to throw a Frisbee, or have a game of football.

An outdoor stage hosts many live outdoor events, and there are plenty of amenities close by. The park is home to many species of wildlife, from native and exotic birds to squirrels and chipmunks. It’s the perfect place for a low cost family day out.
