Bend Park and Recreation District offers the opportunity for businesses and organizations to be involved as sponsors and advertisers with select recreation programs, activities, facilities and events.

These relationships offer sponsors and advertisers an affiliation with BPRD and exposure to district patrons and the public. The fees charged for these opportunities include a donation that is directed to the BPRD recreation scholarship fund. Recreation scholarships help reduce barriers for individuals and families to participate in park district programs and activities that build confidence and independence, encourage active lifestyles and enrich lives.

Bend Park and Recreation District reserves the right to accept sponsors and advertisers in accordance with the district’s mission and values. The establishment of an agreement for sponsorship or advertising does not constitute an endorsement by the district of the sponsor or advertiser’s business, products or services.

Youth and Adult Sport Programs

Participation in BPRD sport programs is very strong and growing along with the growth of the community. Sponsors have the opportunity for logo exposure on league shirts worn by players for select programs or on the equipment used for the sport. All sport sponsor fees cover the cost for printing the sponsor’s logo and a donation to the recreation scholarship fund.

Sport program sponsors are confirmed in June for the coming fall through spring programs.

Bend Park & Recreation District Hosted Events

Many events take place in Bend Park & Recreation District parks. The majority of these are hosted by private event organizers, non-profits and other organizations that reserve the space and work with the park district as a renter for the site.

BPRD hosts a small number of community events and activities of varying sizes for a variety of audiences. Some may have opportunity for sponsors to be involved as support for that event or   activity. This includes events and activities in parks and at park district facilities such as The Pavilion, Juniper Swim & Fitness Center and Larkspur Community Center. The benefits offered to the sponsor and fee charged vary with the event or activity and include a donation to support recreation scholarships.

The park district offers limited opportunity for businesses and organizations to advertise at district properties.

Dasher Board Ads

Dasher board panels surround the rink at The Pavilion and provide opportunity for highly visible exposure year-round to skaters, program participants and spectators. Advertising fees cover the cost for printing and installing the ad and provide support for recreation scholarships. Advertising is seasonal with ads placed from mid-October to mid-December and remaining in place through early September of the following year.

Advertising opportunities are available for the 2024/25 season at The Pavilion. The dasher board panel spaces that are available for new advertisers to consider are located at the ends of the rink (goal areas) and on the north side of the rink, facing toward Simpson Ave.
