About Sunnyside Sports
Sunnyside Sports is one of Bend's most beloved independent outdoor shops, occupying a prime location on Galveston Avenue in the heart of the city's west side. Established in the late 1980s, the shop has earned a loyal following among locals and visitors for its carefully curated selection of gear, knowledgeable staff, and genuine community involvement in Central Oregon's outdoor culture. They are a true four-season operation, pivoting seamlessly between winter and summer sports.
The rental programme covers both winter and summer equipment. Ski and snowboard packages are available for Mt. Bachelor, including performance-tier options for experienced riders. In warmer months, the focus shifts to mountain bikes — with trail and cross-country models available for Bend's extensive singletrack network — and Nordic skiing gear for the groomed trails at Virginia Meissner and Swampy Lakes Sno-Parks. Fat bike rentals provide a unique winter cycling option on packed snow trails, and snowshoe packages round out the cold-weather lineup.
What makes Sunnyside Sports special is the depth of local expertise. Staff members are active athletes who ride, ski, and paddle the same terrain they recommend to customers. Their trail and snow condition reports are among the most reliable in town, often updated daily during peak seasons. The shop also supports the local outdoor community through event sponsorships, group rides, and partnerships with trail stewardship organisations. For an authentic, locally rooted gear and rental experience in Bend, Sunnyside Sports consistently delivers.
