There's a parking lot ( free ) that can fit about 50 cars , clean restrooms , a windmill and a metal horse statue. Cross the street heading east and you'll find a trail. It's along a canal that's home to Canada Goose, ducks , mallards , coots , etc. I saw at least a dozen Canada Goose gracefully floating , ducking their heads under, chasing each other , taking naps under the warm sunlight. When I first got to the trail, I heard loud screeching sounds that sounded like eagles or owls. I had seen an owl here before but when I looked up with my binoculars , there was this huge beautiful Red-tailed hawk . He was screeching so loud and when I looked up at the sky , there was another red-tailed. I think he was trying to mate her. Ahhhh those raptor were so gorgeous. They were too far and couldn't get good pics but filmed their calling sounds. There was a construction going on after about half a mile and there was so much noise and dust , plus most likely there won't be any critters with all that's going on , so I turned around. The trail takes you all the way to the water basin where you can spot the migratory birds . There's huge mansions along the trail , pretty flowers and blossoms , you might spot an own or two or hawks along the way. From the parking lot , if you head south , there's another section of the trail and this one takes you all the way to the Dry Creek Park and there's a botanical gardens next to the park ( Clovis Botanical Gardens ) free admission. I like both sections of the trail . If you wanna see lots of birds go East from the parking lot.

Even though there were a lot of people there, it was really relaxing just to walk around in my own little world. There was a nice breeze blowing this morning, so it felt really good just to get out of the house walk past the dog park. It was super cute, I just had a nice relaxing morning walking around seeing the sites and people watching. I totally need to do this more after I get my nails done.

We love to bring our kids here to explore, ride bikes & feed the ducks & geese (we bought a 50lb bag of cracked corn from Tractor Supply for like $18 & keep it in the back of our van.) They are super friendly & will eat out of our kids hands. We accidentally came here yesterday during the Water Lantern Festival & it was insane how many people & food trucks were there. *Tip If you plan on coming for than a few time during the year but the annual parking pass from the electronic kiosks around the park for $50 (it's good for parking at all city parks & The Fresno Zoo as well but it's only good for one cars license plate.

The main thing you hear is the trees in the wind and the birds chirping! If you sit still a bunch of the squirrels come out. I counted 15! =) Little mini escape from the busy world! Relaxing and content! Recommended!

There is a view of the San Joaquin River that is quite pleasant, and if you try really hard, you can almost pretend you are out in the country rather than right underneath a multistory business complex. I've actually seen cottontail rabbits in the shrubs.

When I want to get away from town, this is my go to place. Planning to come out here to BBQ soon. It's a very clean place with plenty of shade, and places for the kids to play as well. My mom used to bring us kids out here when we were little. Love this place!

I am definately going to be back with the rest of my family and make it our place togo even if its just for a picnic and playground.

We stopped here at the tail end of our journey down the Bow Parkway and were initially not going to…read moredo the hike, but saw that the short version of it was only 3/4 mile each way, so we went for it. This was the lower falls trail. There is an upper falls trail that is 1.5 miles each way. The parking lot is huge and it was the end of the day, so parking was easy and there was hardly anyone on the trail. You start off flat and through a creek area and there are clear signs for where to go to stay on the trail. Once the elevation gain begins, it is not too steep. The terrain is not paved and was slippery due to the weather. You go along the creek the whole time until you get to the falls. It is pretty awesome and you can then continue to this mini cave that takes you right up to the falls. It is unique and well worth your time!

I would recommend pay on your phone and screenshot because when I went it didn't accept our card so we put cash and on the meter it said our receipt was printing and never came out. So we asked a lady in the front and they said if it went through u should b fine. The city of Fresno haven't gone in a while to put paper in the meter. So if it don't print don't stay. When we came out we had gotten a ticket and since we paid cash we had no proof so had to pay the ticket. It happened to a lot of people. The kids had fun looking at the animals and enjoyed the seal show, we missed the bird show but maybe one day we could see it. Lots of food to choose from. Props bathroom in the entrance to your left. Another one toward the rhinos around the kopje Lodge. The kids enjoyed feeding the giraffe feedings 6 bucks gives you 3 or 4 lettuce.

Quality/Quantity - Sadly the bridge was under construction,…read moreso they lowered the water on the lake where we were staying. So none of the lake activities were open. But it still had beautiful views. The food exceeded my expectations, and I can't believe I did NOT take pictures of the food! Plenty of food options, at reasonable prices. Options to stay at dorms, cabins, cottages, hotels, campgrounds, etc. Atmosphere - 365 acres!! Beautiful views. Rifle, archery, ax throwing, basketball, pickleball, ping pong, corn hole, fire pits, 4x4 jeep tours, etc. Not much fish, but again maybe because they had to lower the lake to work on the bridge. Service - Great customer service. Most local kids from Joshua School were working. Approximately 114 employees. Price - See website, but overall I felt it was very reasonable.
