Cliff Clemens Park to be dedicated on Election Day

Cliff Clemens will be honored at the dedication of the newest city park, named in his honor. Cliff Clemens Park is located on Larch Street on the south side of Tamarack Village.

The ceremony, which Clemens is expected to attend, will be at 1 p.m. on November 2 (Election Day) at Cliff Clemens Park.

Clemens and his family settled in Sisters in 1966. In 1978 he became the founding president of the Kiwanis Club of Sisters and is one of only three charter members still living. In 1981 he began running the Sisters Airport.

Clemens spent 16 years on the Sisters School Board and several more on the city planning commission. He has long been an advocate for a senior retirement center in Sisters.

In a recent interview at Bend Villa Court, where he currently resides, he said, "You never know what time will do, but if you live it honestly you don't have to worry.

"And that's what I have tried to do."
