Positive Reviews:

Glenn J: ★★★★★

Hey ready for a beat down. This is my home turf and I love my pickleball. Good place to play with 16 courts. Just be courteous to other players and rotate off court each game when others are waiting. No one likes a court gremlin.

Luke Cramer: ★★★★★

T Moseley: ★★★★★

Good park with a few rough edges as in most parks in Chico due to some homelessness ....but they were in some certain spots and it's a beautiful park with good softball bocce ball a few disc golf baskets tennis and pickleball courts plus a walking path. Playground: Good to go. Restrooms: Porta pottys and regular restrooms. Dog-friendliness: Yep. Picnic area: Available

Glenn J: ★★★★★

This park is great for playing with your dig, taking a walk, playing tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, or just relaxing. There's a children's play ground on the other side with swings, slides and monkey bars. There's public bathrooms and lots of parking. Im out here at least twice a week and it's truly peaceful and beautiful. Playground: There's a small playground in the back of the park by Chapman Elementary School. There are better playgrounds like DeGarmo or the park by Emm Wilson Elementary School.

We come here for the community Pickleball courts and absolutely love it here. Well lit, well maintained, and ample parking most nights. We're super happy they expanded the Pickleball section and cut down on some of the tennis. We're also grateful to see they seem to have extended the night closing time past 10PM, as it's barely cool enough to play in the summer heat by that time. 😅 Wish it were open 24/7, but we'll see, huh?? 😂🤗🙏🏽

Beautiful park with nicely maintained tennis courts and 8 dedicated pickleball courts. Park is clean and safe. Periodic, harmless and mellow homeless folks. Baseball and soccer fields. Fills up during soccer, otherwise most od the park is blissfully vacant. Go there at least four times a week.

Christian Bravo: ★★★★★

Neutral Reviews:

Berneice Powell: ★★★

Lots of big open field, baseball fields, about 5 disc golf baskets, pickle ball and tennis courts, there’s a play structure for little kids and another one for toddlers and the picnic tables are nearby, and there’s even an area designated for dogs as well as a bag dispenser to clean up after them. However… All year long, most days of the week the afternoons the sports take up EVERY SINGLE PART OF THOSE FIELDS so if you’re not doing that you’ll find no room for anything else, the homeless set up at the picnic tables all day everyday as soon as the sun comes up (I know this from going to play disc golf there before too many people are around), and a lot of people don’t pick up after they walk their dogs in the fields where people play.

Patrick Price: ★★★

Average playground rather small for size of park and community sit serves though. Too few restrooms both of which are more often than not used by the transients for this and that. Nonetheless, the grounds are well maintained and the ball fields are great as well as the tennis courts to get down with yo bad self on. Would recommend. Oh yes, and the brand new Bocce Ball installations concrete just cured! Not really great for accomodating picnics with seating areas and tables very limited also.

Christopher Bush: ★★★

Fantastic well maintained super large park. Lots of soccer fields, tennis courts, beach volleyball pit and large play structure. Parking is rough, long waits to get to the rear and lots of homeless people.

Negative Reviews:

Jennifer corneliussen: ★

Tried to do my granddaughters bday here and had to chase away several transients and clean several drug paraphernalia...used to be great park...disappointed

Kolette Connor: ★

Too, too many homeless are living on the outskirts of the walking track. Doesn't feel safe when I walk it. I'm VERY disappointed. Outhouses are disgusting because a ton of homeless are using them.
