To celebrate the centennial milestone for Shevlin and Drake parks, the park district created a webpage to share stories and photographs of the parks over the past cen- tury. The webpage will also of- fer information on virtual and in-person activities, such as talks and self-guided tours that will be scheduled throughout the year. “The overall goal of the ac- tivities will be to look back at the history of Shevlin Park and Drake Park, as well as high- lighting how the parks con- tinue to make memories for Bend residents and visitors to- day,” Brown said. Jeff Hagler, the park steward manager who has worked for Bend park district since 2014, said many people still use the two parks in the same way as they did 100 years ago. Fam- ilies still gather for picnics, community events and hikes, he said. Hagler sees the connection to the past every day at Shevlin Park, where people still walk through old growth trees along Tumalo Creek. “In particular when it was made a park 100 years ago, one of the biggest activities was get- ting out and walking on the trails,” Hagler said. “All of those trails are pretty special. Just five minutes out of the city, you are in the natural forest.” Shevlin-Hixon owned the land in northwest Bend that was the site of early explorer camps, railroads and a fish hatchery. The lumber company transferred the deed to the city Jan. 14, 1921, with the condi- tion that the park “shall always be used and maintained as a Bend Park & Recreation District/Submitted photo Actors John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn pose for a photo in 1974 while filming “Rooster Cogburn” in Shevlin Park.

Over the years, the park hosted ice skat- ing and was used for movie sets, including the 1975 film “Rooster Cogburn” starring John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn. “It is a real gem for the com- munity,” Hagler said. Hagler has the same appreci- ation for Drake Park, a 13-acre property along the Deschutes River in downtown Bend. “It’s really an extension of downtown,” Hagler said. “Peo- ple come into downtown and flow into Drake Park. It’s such a great place for people to take a nice walk along the big beau- tiful trees.” Drake Park, which sits against Mirror Pond on the river, was originally viewed as an early housing development. But the Women’s Civic Im- provement League, led by early Bend resident Mary Arnold, gathered 1,500 signatures for a $21,000 bond that would allow the city to purchase the river- front property and preserve it as a park. The bond passed by a 2-1 margin, and the property was converted to a city park in 1921. The park was named in 1928 for Alexander Drake, the founder of Bend and owner of the Pilot Butte Development Company. In the 1997 book “Drake Park Bend, Oregon: History of Landscape Architecture,” Arnold’s great-great grandson Chad Coffelt describes how the women’s civic group turned a dream for a park into a reality. “The Women’s Civic League fought a hard and courageous battle against the all-male city commission of 1921, to es- tablish Drake Park, citing the town’s need for a family park and access to the river,” Cof- felt said. “Today, residents and tourists alike reap the bene- fits of these women’s labor as Drake Park stands to symbol- ize the spirit and tranquility that is Bend.” Drake Park became a com- munity gathering place for Fourth of July celebrations and the Bend Water Pageant. In re- cent years, the park has hosted annual festivals and concerts.
