About the Park
Ponderosa Park's dog area, on Bend's east side in the 97701 zip code, appears in our directory with confirmed off-leash use and free entry but little else on file. Amenities, fencing, and posted hours are not documented here, so check Bend Park and Recreation District listings or the on-site signs for specifics. East Bend sits in open high-desert country with strong summer sun, which makes shade and water worth confirming before a midday visit. As with any lightly documented off-leash spot, walk the perimeter first and keep the leash handy until you have sized up the space.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Ponderosa Park Dog 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.
Best of all, Ponderosa Park Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
