Find the dog park entrance
Enter Pine Nursery Park from NE Purcell Boulevard and follow park signs toward the northeastern off-leash area. The official map shows parking near the north side and central trail network. Recent park improvements added and replaced off-leash entries, so use current signs and keep your dog leashed until you are safely inside a designated fenced section.

Trails, grass and the fishing pond
The main enclosure combines a broad grass field with natural high-desert areas and looping paths, giving dogs space for fetch, running and slower sniffing walks. Shade is uneven, so warm-weather visits are more comfortable early or late in the day.
Pine Nursery’s fishing pond is a separate park amenity and is not a dog-swimming feature. Keep dogs leashed outside the off-leash enclosure and away from restricted or sensitive areas. The broader park’s paved and unpaved trails also require leashes unless signs state otherwise.
Rules before you enter
Bend Park and Recreation District requires owners to keep dogs within sight and voice control, carry one leash per dog and remove any aggressive or misbehaving dog immediately. Pick up waste, accept responsibility for damage or injury and bring no more than three dogs per person.
Dogs in heat and puppies without a complete vaccination cycle are not allowed. Dogs must display current license and rabies tags. Children under 12 need close adult supervision, and food or toys that may attract a group of dogs should stay out of the off-leash area.
What park goers say
Visitors praise the park’s scale, fully fenced boundary and mix of a large grass field, winding paths and native vegetation. Many say the layout gives active dogs a longer outing than a simple rectangular play yard, while the separate small-dog section offers a quieter option for qualifying dogs.
Park goers also mention limited shade in exposed sections, dusty natural surfaces during dry weather and the importance of carrying water. The park can draw a busy social crowd, so visitors recommend staying close, watching interactions and choosing quieter hours for dogs that become overwhelmed.
