Whether you attend the Round-Up or not, one free short stop you can make if you are traveling through Pendleton, Ore., is for a picnic lunch in the Roy Raley City Park, next door to the arena.
A great place for a snack or lunch, this park is also “called Round-Up by locals because of its proximity to the Round-Up grounds.” It is one of Pendleton’s oldest parks, with a grass amphitheater, stage, restrooms, basketball courts, picnic tables and drinking fountain.
After eating, mosey on over for a peek inside the fabled rodeo grounds and imagine the excitement of bucking broncos and roar of the crowd.
