Hollygrape Park

Located in south Bend, Oregon, Hollygrape park provides picnic areas, open spaces, a play structure with a wobbly bridge, trail connections to local schools,  and paved areas for small children to practice skating.  As a neighborhood park it is easily reached by children on foot and on bikes. Since the park was located in a forested area, the park looked as though it have been then for years when it was just finished.

Neighborhoods

Keystone on the Deschutes

Prominently located on the Deschutes River in the Old Mill District, this property is under significant scrutiny by the Bend Planning Commission.  Dappled Earth provided the preliminary site plan and landscape perspective drawing that persuaded the planning commission of the merits of the project. Features of this site are public access to the river’s edge through a grove of river birches, softly down lighted for safety and effect; two additional ‘natural’ seating areas along the river’s edge; transition plantings between the river path and the private townhome properties; and planting selections to accent the dramatic architecture of the buildings and to preserve mountain views.

La Pine Community Forest Plan

This neighborhood plan includes single family homes with open space and bicycle trails through a forested site.  Wildland fires are a serious concern here, so a defensible space plan and guidelines were prepared.
