9) Check out new and exciting artists at the Pendleton Center for the Arts

The Pendleton
Center for the Arts is a great place to
view, buy and make art. We offer fine arts exhibits, live music performances,
arts education for youth, teens and adults, and a great venue for purchasing
hand-crafted fine gifts made by regional artists.

Located in the heart of Eastern Oregon, our beautifully restored 1916 Carnegie Library building is an architectural treasure in its own right. The Center caps one end of a downtown core that is regaining its vitality and charm. Community members use the building for weddings, receptions, meetings and parties of all kind.

You can take a quick
video tour of the building HERE.

10) Take a stroll along the Umatilla River on the River Parkway or along Pendleton’s historic Main Street

Pendleton River Parkway

Step onto the Pendleton River Parkway and step into nature. Almost three miles of flat trail takes you through the heart of Pendleton along the banks of the Umatilla  River. Take a few minutes to explore other city landmarks along the  way. For suggestions from locals, keep scrolling down. Restrooms  are located along the Parkway at Roy Raley Park, Stillman Park and  Brownfield Park.

Driving Directions: Take exit 207 off I-84, travel east on Westgate (Hwy. 30) approximately 2 miles,  turn left at Westgate Place, park at the end of the cul-de-sac where the River Parkway trail begins. Additional parking available at Roy Raley Park, Stillman Park, the east end of Byers, and Bedford Bridge at SW 18th Street. Map available under City Parks.

Olney Cemetery

Mature trees and slightly challenging grade changes make Olney Cemetery a great  spot to bump up your routine a little. The cemetery may be a surprising  recommendation for a walking trail, but try it sometime and you’ll discover its  appeal. Sorry, no restrooms.

*Restrooms are closed during winter months due to risk of freezing pipes and are  unlocked on April 1 each year.
