Boyd Park (Bend)

 

From Bend Parks and Recreation:

 "Located in north east Bend, Boyd Park provides an interesting combination of developed areas and wild spaces. The developed portions of the park feature open lawn play areas, a picnic pavilion, a children's playground and a half-court basketball court. The wild spaces of the park include soft surface trails that wind through native landscapes with rock outcroppings and superb mountain and desert views."
Boyd Park is a nice medium sized playground.  Like many other playgrounds, there is a small structure for the littlest kids, and a larger one for those who are past the toddler stage.   The playground includes some unusual spinning equipment.  I especially like the "umbrella" that you hang from.  It's not for the little kids, but it gives me a good ab workout.

The park also sports a short paved path that doesn't really go anywhere.  It sure looks nice against the freshly mowed grass.  There are also a couple of undeveloped sections of the park.  Trail--planned and otherwise--provide the opportunity for a micro hike.

The narrow, tightly spaced Pahlisch homes across the street give the neighborhood a New-Englandy feel.
A seasonal restroom (that means a porta-potty) is available during the warm months.  Picnic tables and benches dot the park, and a half court basketball court is located just east of the playground.  

 A fence separates the playground from the street.
