Redmond Area Park and Recreation District serves the communities of Redmond, Terrebonne and Tumalo with recreational opportunities of all types, including workshops and classes for adults and youth.

In 2022, voters passed a $49 million bond to construct a new recreation center, which is currently in the design phase.

The parks district also handles reservations for city parks for large-scale events such as family reunions, weddings and company picnics. It also manages a number of parks and recreational facilities of its own, including:

Borden Beck Wildlife Preserve: Five miles west of Terrebonne on Lower Bridge Way, the preserve is a naturally protected area bordering the Deschutes River at Lower Bridge. The area offers nature and hiking trails, a picnic area, fishing, swimming and wildlife viewing.

Cascade Swim Center: The swim center, 465 SW Rimrock Way, features a 25-meter pool, sand volleyball court, basketball courts, horseshoe pits, picnic and park areas, and a spray park. Out-of-district fees apply to visitors from outside the greater Redmond area, available by reservation. (541-548-6066)

High Desert Sports Complex: Located at 1859 NE Maple Ave., off of Negus Way, this features four softball fields, soccer fields, a BMX bike track and a remote-controlled airplane landing strip. The complex also has restrooms and a concession stand.
