Visiting With Your Dog

Located at 475 NW 17th St in Bend, this park is an absolute gem for anyone with a pup in tow. When you arrive, you'll find parking readily available right off 17th Street, which makes getting your excited dog out of the car quick and painless. The park itself offers a wonderful mix of open grassy areas and scenic trails that wind through the property, giving you plenty of options depending on your dog's energy level and your mood that day.

The best times to visit are early mornings or late afternoons, especially during warmer months when the midday sun can be intense. Bring plenty of water for both you and your pup, along with waste bags—the park's setup encourages responsible ownership. If your dog loves off-leash play, you'll appreciate the designated areas where they can stretch their legs freely. The trails are perfect for dogs who prefer a bit more structure, with enough shade and terrain variety to keep things interesting.

What makes this location particularly convenient is its proximity to some excellent nearby spots. After a good workout, you can stroll over to River's Place for a coffee while your pup cools down in the shade, or head to Bevel Craft Brewing where you can relax on their patio with a beverage while your dog socializes. It's the perfect way to extend your outing without having to pack up and drive somewhere new.

The park's layout rewards exploration, and you'll quickly discover which areas work best for your individual dog's personality. Whether you have a high-energy adventure dog or a senior who prefers gentle walks, Overturf Park accommodates both beautifully. With a solid 4.4-star rating from nearly 100 reviews, it's clearly a local favorite for good reason. Plan for at least an hour to really enjoy what the park offers, and your dog will thank you with happy exhaustion and contented snoozes on the drive home.
