The property across from the "Back 9" golf course on China Hat Rd. off Knott Rd. is used currently by many residents to hike and bike on the trails, walk their dogs, and just enjoy the fields and woods near their homes.
Please help petition the City of Bend and Deschutes County to preserve this acreage as a public access park or undeveloped open area to keep it from being turned into yet one more congested development! Bend area residents need open space close by our homes as part of our quality of life here in Bend!
Why is this important?
This petition seeks to preserve this open acreage where Bend area residents currently hike, bike or just walk, rather than see every such property be turned into real estate developments. This affects our quality of life, which is the very reason so many have moved to the Bend area in the first place.
We need such places close to our homes to go for walks, enjoy exercise, enjoy undeveloped, open land we can walk to after work, or on the weekends with our families, without having to drive for half an hour to get there! And there has been so much development in Bend, that we now have to speak out to preserve what we have.
