Large baseball field, soccer fields, playgrounds. a dedicated dog park community pool, tennis courts, pond where you can see fish, ducks and various birds, and lots of picnic tables. Worth a visit for rest and relaxation or to listen to Bishop stream and small waterfall by the bridge. When driving through Bishop in the future, this is the spot to take your pets for a nice walk and stretch before getting back on the road!

This is a really cute park in the heart of Bishop. You can tell that the planning was intentional…read moreand very thoughtful. Although this area as a whole has plenty to do (in the mountains), the little towns are quite barren for any activity. While walking our pup here, we saw the pond with so many birds, a skatepark, an outdoor pool, tennis court, a baseball field, and more! There were a few sketchy people hanging around, but we were safe and they didn't bother us. For the most part, the people there were playing or just enjoying the grounds. Plenty of parking, and pretty well maintained. We were pleasantly surprised at how large of an area it covered, and our pup enjoyed her walk here.

Helmet, elbow pads, knee pads required. Park is empty. What…read morea waste of city money to staff 2 people all day for an empty slab of concrete. Almost every other city has publicly available unsupervised skate park with proper signage which removes liability. Many studies have shown skate parks are one of the most cost-effective amenities that benefit the community. Skateboarding has always been an outlet for middle and lower class kids to practice a healthy sport and enjoy their community. Introducing more barriers to this pushes them other places without a healthy outlet. I'm sure the community of Clovis would rather have kids of lower socioeconomic status in a park practicing an accessible sport, than scattered around the town wherever else, loitering. Might as well dump a load of dirt on it. It's already a waste of space and resources. Maybe actually build something that benefits the community. No kid or parent is going to bother coming due to the large amount of restrictions. (No bmx, no spectators, odd hours, full pads.) They'll just stay at home or better yet, move somewhere with actual good resources and amenities.

As soon as we got here, some dude in a purple shirt told us pads and helmet are required. That…read morekinda sucks... I was wondering why this park is always dead. This is a waste of space.

It's been my dream for several years to raft in Yosemite, but there has always been too much/too…read morelittle water flowing. Finally, in June of 2016, conditions were just right! *How to reserve/get a raft: You can wait in line early at the reservations kiosk near the Curry Valley/Half Dome Valley check-in center. The kiosk opens at 10, the line for renting bikes/rafts (same line) is long, and rafts are first-come/first-served. NOTE!! Only 100 rafts go out each day according to NPS rules. So when rafts become physically available at 11 and people go out on their raft, even if they return it in an hour, that raft does not go out again. RAFTING SELLS OUT FAST! I found this out to my dismay (we planned to raft on a Tuesday), but, happily, I could reserve a raft for the next day (Wednesday was cooler but still beautiful). We let them know we wouldn't be putting in until the afternoon to make sure the crew didn't think we were no-shows. *Actual rafting: You pick up your raft along with oars and life jacket at a station near shuttle bus stop 13a (I think), just a stroll away from center camp (Curry Village). You have to bring your receipt (your actual physical receipt) and they give you the required life jackets. Sooner or later a crew member conducts a 5-minute group instruction talk, then you grab your raft (cumbersome for two people but do-able) and walk across the street to the river where another crew member helps you launch. I didn't even get my feet wet (none of us did) by pushing off and jumping in at once. Others have described the mellow and gorgeous trip down the river. It's short--we took just about an hour because we didn't stop and frolic on the many riverside beaches (cool air + a cranky rafter in our boat). *At the end: You get to shore (crew calls out to you before you reach the beach plus someone helps with your raft); again, it was easy to stay dry. You drag your raft up, wait in a disorganized group for the shuttle bus, and use your lifejacket as a ticket to get on the bus for the 5-or-so-minute trip back to the rafting pick-up spot. This is a must-do if the river is right. It isn't a great value ($30 pp) but man! what a view. Unless you screw around, you/your stuff will probably not get wet at all. The views of Yosemite Falls were spectacular, though (honestly) the same as from the shore. Ideally go when it is warm so you can freeze yourself silly in the river and then warm up in the raft. PS Why not 5 stars? The information for renting should be on a poster--you have to wait in what can be a 30+ minute line just to figure out what is going on. Like the 100-raft/day thing and the you can reserve in advance thing, both of which are important for planning purposes. I saw so many frustrated people (who were there for a day and couldn't raft) and this could easily be avoided.

There is an incredibly rude and hostile staff member at the Bike/Raft rentals. She never gave us…read moreher name (because she never deigned to speak to us), so I'm going to give you a physical descriptor so others can avoid her, or if you've had a similar experience with this person, I encourage you to leave reviews as well so Yosemite can reconsider having her as a staff member: she appears to be a light-skinned Black woman in her 20s, with locs that are about shoulder-length. She wears dark sunglasses most of the time, and she is overweight, maybe about 5'4 or 5'5. We had several encounters with her both together and separately, and each time she was extremely rude to us for no apparent reason. In one instance, I approached the bike rental and waited politely for her to finish a conversation with a colleague. She never once acknowledged me except to yell at me "EMPLOYEES ONLY" at which point it was her colleague who talked to me and answered my question. She continued to ignore me, not making any eye contact and just standing there while her colleague spoke with me. It was awkward and off-putting, but I put it out of my mind. But then it became a sustained pattern of behavior. In one instance, my cousin went to the bike pick up area to ask bike rental questions. . The rude staff member in question rolled her eyes at my cousin and huffed and puffed under her breath, unprovoked, at my cousin's polite question. She again did not try to answer or talk with my cousin; instead another staff member tried to answer my cousin's questions but also said she wasn't usual bike staff so she didn't know. The rude staff member was there the whole time, and never tried to answer my cousin's questions, even though the rude staff member IS a member of bike rentals because I saw her manning the rentals EVERY DAY. We had a few more encounters with this staff member and she NEVER directly made eye contact with us or spoke to us directly. She would ignore us outright and the only time ever directly spoke to us was to yell at us for trying to ask questions (god forbid I ask a staff member a question). I did notice she answered questions politely and joked around with a group of White guests. I don't know if she has something against Asian folks but I honestly can't figure out why else she would have such an automatic and sustained hostile attitude towards us except for that. If she feels annoyed by doing her customer service job, if polite questions annoy her, she should reconsider her job and go be a ranger on an isolated station or something, and save the rest of us from having to interact with her grouchy ahh.

I took my 6 year old niece here for a photo shoot when she was under a year for her first Valentines Day celebration so this park will always be so special to me as there were so many memories created here! Not much as changed when I came here when I was 13 years old as they have a play structure, tennis courts, basket ball court, baseball diamond and big grassy area too! The park is always clean and by a rail road tracks that's highly active. I believe two trains passed during our time here. My sister and I would reminisce how crazy we were back then as we climb the trains or go under them which was so dangerous!! The nieces loved this parked and enjoyed eating their meals there and then being able to play with the kids at the park. There were a lot of activities going on and families here enjoying getting out and having fun! Overall, I love coming to this park as it's so low key. Definitely recommend coming to this park if you are in the area not crowded and there's ample places to sit and relax or get up and exercise! The only negative I didn't like is that ALL dog owners took their dogs off the leash which made me feel uncomfortable but hopefully one day they will build a gated section for that.
