About the Venue

Larkspur Park is one of Bend's officially identified accessible places for play. Bend Park & Recreation specifically notes that the playground was built using universal-design principles so the space can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. For families, that usually translates to a more welcoming layout, easier circulation, and a better chance of siblings with different needs all finding something usable in the same visit.
