Geese in Drake Park
Today is day 5 of our newest project of 365 things to do in Central Oregon. Today we visit a park that is located on the edge of Downtown Bend, Drake Park. Bend Oregon is called such because it is located on a Bend in the River – this park is one of the first in the area. The trees certainly show that – they are huge old growth Ponderosa Pine Trees that reach high up into the beautiful blue sky.
Drake Park runs for several blocks along The Big Deschutes River. Drake Park is the perfect place for a picnic lunch, and an extra loaf of bread to feed the ducks. We often take the grand kids here to burn off some extra steam, and to just have time to sit and as one of our favorite movies say “cop a squat.”
This is a park that we will most likely revisit for some of the summer events that take place in Drake Park. Drake Park is often the center of many festivities in the Bend area including Munch N Music.
