This multi-level Riverfront park features a covered group picnic area,  open lawn areas and riverfront woods plus two parking areas (snow would need to be plowed to make more room).  Road bridge nearby, overlooking park. Grassy area. Covered picnic area.

The Park is particularly beautiful in the Fall when the colors are ablaze (see other post). There is a walking/biking path along the Deschutes River, and some stairs from one garden level to the river.

Multiple accommodation beside and across the street from the park allows for walk to shoot.

Located a few minutes from downtown Bend.  Close to freeway.
