We stopped by Lower Bidwell Park on Tuesday because we had a couple of hours before a scheduled…read moreactivity. What a gem of a park. Beautiful trees shading an asphalt-paved walking/biking path. We really wanted to do loop walk, but never actually found that trail. I would want to give 4.5 if you could give half points, because more signage is needed to direct people toward the nature center and specific trails. That said, this park is such a great feature in Chico!

This is a really cute Park in a nice neighborhood that has a playground and a cement path where you…read morecan walk around and around all day. It's very useful and I love to see a lot of people be utilizing it. The park is clean and maintained and every time I have visited there have been a lot of people walking or playing with their dogs and children playing and riding bicycles. This is a great spot for a picnic or a walk or just to sit in the shade and relax. It also has one of those tiny free libraries in case you want to grab a book and just read for a while. They have two picnic tables, one on each side of the park and a water bottle refilling station. Even though it's a small park, I came here many times when I was in the area I would love to give it five stars but there is no restroom here and I saw lots and lots of people not picking up after their dogs. So walking in the beautiful green grassy area can be kind of a mind field. . Oh and they also have a couple of disc golf stations but I don't play and I never saw anyone using them just in case that helps.

Their inclusion program is absolute BS. CARD's smoke in mirrors "inclusion" is solely based on them…read morewanting a pat on the back for offering it. They don't hire qualified personnel and blame the child for not being able to support their needs. Use excuses of not living up to their standards, asking special needs children to be a typical child is already an other reach in itself. I called out their staffing choice that Far Northern was paying for as unfit for my child who is there to try to succeed and my child was removed because he couldn't be a "regular" kid.

Thank you Taylor for all that you did to help make Paige and Scott's wedding a dream come true. Thank to the two young men that worked that day. I highly recommend having that special day at The Creekside Rose Garden.

Had an amazing day until we pulled our vehicles up the road to load all of the supplies we had…read morecarried in for the birthday party we had for a 1 year old. As soon as we got out of the car to load up ice chests and our belongings a sheriff pulled up and started to write tickets out to everyone parked in the loading area. I get that it was not a parking spot, but the car was running and we had already packed everything we just had to load it. He had zero care for the fact all of the kids started crying because he scared them (all kids 1-10 years old) and then ended screaming at the parents saying "you have 5 minutes to leave!" We cut our day short because at the end of it. And it did create an overall HOSTILE environment for The children, and party goers. However, it is a beautiful place to take the family, water is a bit cold but not too bad. Overall I will probably never go here again with my children. Not if human decency is a foreign concept.

Good, but far too expensive for peddle boats! All other boats there are $25 and under, but the…read morepeddles are $35, and they said they barely rent any. Maybe because they are the most expensive! They're the only boats id ever rent, as the uv rays during the only time of year they are open are absolutely unbearable and vile. Both our butte and lower backs were all screwed up after though, due to not having any padding. The life vests are so thick, you can't peddle with them on, and your upper thighs push into the bottom, shoving the vests into your ears. It is tremendously uncomfortable, and we had to take our vests off and use them as padding instead.

We have only come here for the toddler time but we had a great time.

It's truly a perfect little morning activity for small children who like to be busy and outside. Grateful to be able to take my kids!!

Had our son's 4th birthday here. Kurt was very helpful in accommodating us for an animal…read morepresentation with all his class mates. Amazing price, only payed for the presentation and the picnic area was open for the party. $3 per child is such a great price compared to places like rare air and the new rock climbing place. Also they are local and I'm sure need the resources to provide shelter for the animals. Great alternative to renting out a party place that way overcharges and kiddos are out in nature
