What an awesome family park tucked away from the busy streets! It has a huge field with a paved…read morewalkway around it for runners, bikers, roller skaters :) There are two play areas targeted for different age groups. It's even good for 1 year olds! The equipment is new and fun! There are climb on figures like bears and turtles. There's bark and foam/rubber ground, but no sand. While my kids are sand ADDICTS, they don't mind not having sand at this park because it's so fun. The playground is significantly shaded by overhead shades as well as trees. It's very well maintained. There's a drinking fountain, but no bathrooms. Very well lit at night. It has tables and benches with overhead awning that can be reserved for parties. There's half a basketball court. There's really something for everyone. Bring your dogs, bring the family, and have fun!

6$ gets you admission to the dog friendly park and the museum but the museum does not allow dogs?…read moreMaybe could have mentioned that on the way in? Muesum staff was flippant and extremely rude when we attempted to enter with our disabled pug being carried in a backpack. It was over 100 degrees outside, no way we could leave her in the car. Park is covered in goose poop and the pond is a toilet bowl. Facilities were a disgrace. Totally not worth 6$, will not be back!

No food, no drinks, no problem just leave them at the counter before you enter. The buildings were nice and air conditioned, so we stayed for awhile comfortably. The park was clean, and the geese were pretty aggressive, so if you bring your own picnic food, make sure you don't look away for too long!

I frequently visit Riverway Sports park to use their splash pad in the summer. Well to my kids…read moredisappointment it was closed for maintenance so I called Visalia Parks & Rec & asked if their was any other splash pads in the city. They told me this spot was open which I wasn't even aware existed. It is right next to CSET & in front of the Visalia Substation. Well my kids had a great time cooling off. This splash pad is smaller than the one at Riverway but their fountains spray water higher. The only negative that may be uncomfortable for others is that their is a large transient community in the area but they are friendly just trying to stay cool in this valley heat like the rest of us. With that being the area was surprising clean. Can't wait to take them back.

The price was worth it so that this place can be kept up for hundreds of more years. I was very impressed with what Mr. Forestiere did with his hands. The bottom chamber was 20-25 degrees cooler than above ground. Trees are over a hundred years old and still producing fruit. What a great and unique piece of history right here in Fresno CA.

I've lived in Fresno my whole life and somehow didn't visit Forestiere Underground Gardens until…read morelast year. that is a mistake I genuinely regret. one man hand carved an underground world beneath the San Joaquin Valley over decades and you can walk through it. the fact that this exists here and most Fresno locals have never been is wild to me. the tunnels, the rooms, the skylights that let in just enough light to grow citrus trees underground. it sounds impossible until you're standing in it. the tour guides are great. ours knew the history inside and out and made the whole thing feel like a story rather than a lecture. you leave actually knowing who Baldasare Forestiere was and why he did what he did and it sticks with you. its not a long visit but its a full one. I was genuinely moved in a way I didn't expect from a Saturday afternoon activity in Fresno. bring people who are visiting from out of town. bring people who've lived here forever. this is the kind of place that makes you see your own city differently and that doesn't happen often. if you haven't been, go soon. and if you have been, you already understand why I felt the need to write this.
