Sawyer Park Asset Replacement Project

Project Overview

Sawyer is one of Bend’s oldest and most beloved parks. Decades of use and increased visitors to the park each year has created the need for an improved entrance and parking lot. The existing ones can no longer provide the needed functions and space for the park.

The project plans include relocating the parking area closer to O.B. Riley Road, adding accessible parking, habitat restoration, improving trail accessibility, and the addition of a permanent restroom, picnic shelter and river overlook.
