About the Park
A long, narrow fenced run defines the dog park at Discovery Park in northwest Bend, a layout that favors dogs who love straight-line sprints and fetch over circling a square yard. The fully fenced area sits near the park's three-acre lake, with walking trails, restrooms, and picnic areas in the surrounding grounds. Free entry and 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily hours match Bend's other district parks. After fenced play, the lakeside paths make an easy on-leash cooldown. For residents on this side of town, it works as a convenient daily option rather than an all-day destination.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Dog Park at Discovery Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Dog Park at Discovery Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.

High-value treats

Your dog's favorite toy
