About Miller's Landing Park in Bend
Miller's Landing Park is a 4.7-acre community park located in Bend, Oregon, situated along the Deschutes River. The park offers scenic views of the river and provides access to the Deschutes River Trail, connecting the Riverside neighborhood to the Old Mill District.
Established in 2013, Miller's Landing Park was developed on land with historical significance. The site was once owned by Harry Miller of Miller Lumber Company and served as a lumber holding area and staging ground for delivery wagons in the early 20th century. In 2010, a community fundraising effort led by The Trust for Public Land helped acquire the land to preserve it as a public park.
The park features open lawn areas, walking paths, and river access points for activities such as swimming, fishing, and boating. A picnic shelter is available for small to medium-sized gatherings, providing a space for community events and family outings. The park also includes a community garden managed by the Miller's Landing Community Garden Group, offering local residents the opportunity to grow their own produce.
Miller's Landing Park is currently undergoing improvements as part of a river access and restoration project. This initiative aims to enhance accessibility for all users, including those with mobility restrictions, by redeveloping the boardwalk and improving river access points. The project, slated for completion in summer 2025, will also focus on habitat restoration along the riverbank.
