The Parks and Recreation Commission is committed to improving the recreational opportunities for citizens and visitors of Bandon. Due to budget constraints, in 2009 Coos County gave ownership of the South Jetty Park to the City of Bandon. Realizing this was an important recreational amenity, the City Council requested the Commission to investigate options that would improve the visual aspects, safety, drainage, and recreational amenities of the Jetty Park. The Commission contracted with HGE, Inc., to help design a conceptual plan for the Park. Through months of work sessions and public comments, HGE, Inc. developed the final schematic site plan that was unveiled at the South Jetty Park Public Forum held at the Barn on April 9, 2013. The City has received numerous comments from individuals who attended the forum, but would like to extend the opportunity to comment to those who were not able to attend. You can view a copy of the final schematic site plan and the comment sheets by clicking here. Please download the comment sheet by clicking here and mail or hand deliver to City Hall, P.O. Box 67, Bandon, Oregon, 97411.
