Miller's Landing Park — Attraction in Bend

Even from this side of the park you can see the surfers, and a view of the rapids, but what makes this side stand out is the canopy tall birds nest, and new river features(plus the sidewalk goes to a bridge that gives access to the water park)... The recent river access updates in this park are stellar! They added six or eight rocks in the depths of the river, expanded the access points with incredible handicapped access ramps that appear as sidewalks going right into the river, and even a ramp for kayaks or boats to be pulled in and out on. They even yanked that tree that was stuck on the rock. The bathrooms are usually clean, and well kept. The view of the Ospreys is incredible, as you'll hear the young ones chattering before they get your attention. The parking is decent, and there's a sidewalk that goes over to the whitewater park, where you can see the surfers...

I'm one of the lucky folk who "has" to spend multiple days a week at the park to tend my plot at the community garden. 🌱🍅🌿What a bummer. 😂 After toiling in the soil, I'll often make a day of it at the park meeting up with family and friends on the big lawn, settling in a blanket in the full sun or shade of a tree. We always pack snacks, water, a book, perhaps a game of backgammon or tile rummy and just relish the relaxation of lounging riverside. There's easy access for a quick dunk or even a mellow no-tube body-float down to Drake. The river trail runs right through the park, so easy access to/from destinations in the Old Mill or Galveston. It's a sweet spot...

The park itself is gorgeous. The people... IDK. What are the correct words that describe the citizens walking by someone who just got off work cleaning vacation rentals, backpack loaded with cleaning supplies, sitting on a bench waiting for their ride to show, and instead of smiling or idle pleasantries, they snear , avoid eye contact, or make comments to members of their party that assume the person with the backpack is a "bum"? I mean, a few select words come to mind, but none I can type out here. Sorry, I'll wear my sunday best to scrub toilets in next time. Meanwhile, why don't you go f#
