Lost and Found

If you lost an item in a park, facility or program, return to the place you last had possession of it. It may still be there! Clothing, water bottles and sports balls are often placed near where they were found and/or held at the front desk of a facility until closing time on the day the item is found.

Bend Park and Recreation District has an online system to manage valuable lost and found items, aimed to ease the process of returning items when they are separated from patrons and park users, when possible. Typical items that may be entered into the online system include: electronics (phones, tablets, headphones, smart-watches), medication/medical related (prescription drugs, hearing aids, canes/walkers), jewelry, wallets/purses, keys, etc.
