This is a really cute park in the heart of Bishop. You can tell that the planning was intentional and 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. read more

10/19/2023 Perfectly situated across the street from the hotel we are staying at. Kind of reminded me of the older parks in downtown Sacramento and Lodi. Great for a nice walk when one's eaten a full dinner. read more

A beautiful, spacious park in the middle of the town of Bishop. Acres of beautiful grass with large trees providing much shade . . . a gift on hot summer days. Lots of great walking paths. There is a public pool that looks fun for families. (I haven't tried it.) There is also a large dog park near the back of the park with lots of room for your dog to run. (Note: Your dog must be on leash in the main park.) If you're traveling through Bishop, a stop at the park is a treat. Plus, you can go across the street to Schat's Bakery and get a treat or a coffee and then enjoy your snack in the park. Or your lunch if you want a delicious turkey sandwich from Schat's. There are other restaurants nearby. Carl's Jr. is right there if this works for you. But just a few yards north is Holy Smoke Texas Style Barbeque, which is excellent. But, whether you grab some food or simply enjoy the park, it's a great place to hang out for a while. read more

Great place to swim in the summer. The slide is a hit. I do wish that it was open for longer. The tennis courts are in good condition. The park is nice with Lots of options. The playground, the BMX park, exercise equipment, and baseball fields. There's always something going on. They have activities on the holidays. I was walking by and they had a concert on the stage under the Ramada. Great place to hang out. read more

I have absolutely enjoyed this park many times. However, last time I saw a sign that dogs are not allowed. The signs are not very visible and only on one side so I missed it. I still have had a fantastic time and the park is beautiful and clean. Lots of ducks and a creek running thru it. The ducks can be a bit gossipy so be warned. I don't think dog rules are enforced or possibly they haven't updated their sign as every time I've seen dogs there. 5 bones! read more

This park is significantly out of place, by about 50 years. I bet you've found it difficult to find a safe, pleasant park where you can enjoy the outdoors with those you love. Well look no further, because Bishop City Park is the wonderful type of park you remember from your youth. This park has it all, including tennis courts, a swimming pool, several baseball fields, a horseshoe pit, a skate park, a few playgrounds, a couple of gazebos, outdoor picnic areas, several barbecue grills, several park benches, volleyball courts, a bike share station, a pond, a flowing stream, and several unique-looking rocks for the kiddies to climb on. This park is the perfect place to take a quiet stroll with your "significant other," or to barbecue some hotdogs with your family as your children run around in the green grass. The city of Bishop has really made a wise investment in this fine park, and I bet the residents here are pleased with their ability to repeatedly enjoy this little gem. I'm sure this park also has the added benefit of increasing the property values for the nearby residents as well. This park appears to be extremely well maintained by the city for the enjoyment of the majority, as opposed to most of the other parks I am used to seeing that have been allowed to deteriorate. If you're in the city of Bishop, or even just driving through, you should definitely make a stop here to spend some much-needed quality time with your loved ones. Even if you're alone, the peaceful outdoors here will be good for your soul. read more

Really nice playground for young kids and there's a small pond with lots of ducks. Nice if your kids need to some energy out during a long drive! (And I'm sure it's great for locals too!) read more

For a town that thrives on tourism they don't do a good job impressing us tourists. The bathrooms at the park are DEPLORABLE! Broken sinks, leaking toilets, and locals tell me they've been this way for MONTHS but th3 city council refuses to send anyone out to repair them. What a b7nch of lazy do nothings. read more

When I first moved to Bishop I inadvertently found this park and was surprised at the number of amenities and landscape. I was surprised that this place is on par with NYC Central Park, SF Golden Gate Park, LAs Griffith Park, while no where near the size, it's amazing that such a small town has a gem like the City Park. read more

Tennis courts shady trees Grass areas Bridges Water with ducks Small area for dogs Bikes to ride Baseball field Stage for a band When I first walked in to the park it reminded me of parks when I was a kid and how much fun I had. I'm happy to see the City of Bishop feels having a park with all the features is important. read more

The city of Bishop is quite small compared to most cities in California, but its the largest thing you'll find off the 395 out here. I was quite impressed with this park as it provides the community with a lot of different things such as pool, skate area, pond, playground and sports fields. The park is up kept quite nicely and is very clean. The bathrooms though are something else, most of them were locked and the only ones I found open were horrible inside. They have limited parking up front where you can only supposedly park for a time limit, but in the back there is tons of dirt lot to park in. This was a nice area to walk around after visiting the bakery across the street, pastries weigh your stomach to the point where you don't feel like driving until you've walked it off. Another reviewer said they saw a no dogs sign, but I never saw any. They also have a dog relief / park inside. read more

For a little town of just 3,500 people or so - located in the Eastern Sierras and adjacent to so much natural beauty - one might ask, "Why do they have or even need a park?" This is a sizable urban park replete with gazebo & tables jutting out into a pond full of ducks, tennis courts, paved paths and lots of nice grass. It's a fantastic spot for a picnic - adjacent to the large strip mall where you might have just picked up beer & ice. It's a very peaceful spot for a picnic, though it might be a bit breezy - and you may have some ducks begging for handouts. This is a great spot to stop for a rest if the weather is nice - a lot better than going to a busy cafe or drive-through - check out their facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bishop-City-Park/151541861528300?sk=info read more

Beautiful park, has plenty of benches and shade. Has a beautiful water feature. The playground looked like it was in good shape. It also has a pool. The next time we are in the area we will be stopping back by for a picnic. read more

This little city park is an oasis in the middle of an arid, dry desert. Purchase lunch at one of the great stops in Bishop and bring here to enjoy in a tree-shaded patch beside the ambling stream. The park includes an impressive array of amenities for such a small space: tennis courts, gazebo, restrooms (moderately clean), a pocket-sized dog park, barbecue stations, volleyball courts, two play sets for younger and older kids, a great skatepark, a beautiful pond with ducks, and even the Bishop City Pool (with a slide)! What a great gathering place for the residents of Bishop and surrounding communities. read more

Park is lovely, but beware of the shady pricing practices of the swimming pool. If you happen to be there during the transitions from lap swim to public swim, they will kick you out and demand you PAY AGAIN to get back in a few minutes later. Even if you've only been there 10 minutes. Really shameful read more

Who doesnt have a childhood memory or two of feeding the ducks at some random pond moldy bread? Well this is that park for me. I remember coming here as a child countless times and thinking it was the grandest adventure ever. My preschool even did a fieldtrip here once. Well I have stopped here again just to take in the memories. Well this place is much smaller than I remember. But it definitely is very relaxing. The pond and ducks/geese are awesome. You can bring your doggies here too if they need to stretch their legs on the way up to Mammoth or camping in and around Bishop. There is free parking nearby and sometimes during the summer there are carnivals or festivals with lots of booths selling stuff. most likely during mule days (but I am not sure on the timing). read more

Very nice public park. OC parks could do good to emulate this one. Stop here most times when passing through Bishop as its a great place to let the family take a break form the road. Fast food & Schat's for the hungry. Nice walk for those who need to stretch the legs. Duck ponds. Pet friendly. Many holiday craft festivals. Public pool in Summer. Son caught a trout in the stream. Tourism center. Great stop. read more

I absolutely love this park!!! It's has such a beautiful setting. The environmental ambience is really top notch There is a very large pond, with ducks and also a creek runs along the north side of the park. The different levels of play structures are awesome, I liked that they even have exercise section of park equipment as well. There is a skatepark and aquatic area with a pool & slide located with in the park area too. Also just to the south edge of the park there is a beautiful little community garden that I was pleased to stumble on. read more

My family was buying a lot of items across the street at the Erick Schat's Bakery and I was told to find a place for my young boy to run. I found this park and he ran and looked at the ducks. He also climbed the jungle gym and went down the slide. For a quick local park getaway, it worked. The large population of ducks and a man in the visitor center feeding them were highlights for this small town. read more

DOGS NOT ALLOWED. Signs posted all over the park. It's a lovely looking park, with a stream and bridge running through it. Not huge. Not sure why they don't allow dogs, very odd for a park not to. If you keep going aaaalll the way down the parking lot (you may find fire trucks/emergency vehicles parked, you're headed the right direction) and there is a dog park there. read more

The tour de Eastern Sierra playgrounds continues... This was my family's favorite, although not mine. There's a dinky little kids' play structure, a skate park, and bigger kids' play structure, an adult fitness area - I've never seen such a thing before and thought it was very cool - and my kindergartener's absolute favorite thing, a pond that was partially frozen over. How long can you watch ducks ice-skating? A looooong time. I didn't particularly care for the chilly, not well-stocked restrooms, and generally I felt like there was a little too much litter and dog poop around the lawns. But again, the kids love this place and there's plenty of room to roam. read more

great little park with some fun terrain for all levels of skaters. in the center of town with some nice grass areas to hang out at and watch the kids skate, will be back read more

A perfect quiet park. Stopped here on the way to June Lake. It was a pretty warm day but there are a lot of big trees in this park that kept it cool. Plus there is a nice creek that runs right through it and it has walk bridges over the creek. There is a dog park for anyone traveling with pets. If you happen to have brought your board, there is a skateboard park too. This is a great place to picnic or to just take a break when you're driving on the 395. read more

This is a beautiful park! Love the creek and pond. Lots of grass and trees. Toddler loved it. Dogs loved it.

Beautiful park with pond, creek, ducks, tennis courts, skate park! Be careful--no lights after dark.

Very nice park and swimming pool. We came for the 4th of July celebration. It's was busy but not crowded. Employees and lifeguards were incredibly friendly. Water slide and diving board are terrific for a public pool. Very clean. They have a skate park, playground, and a stream too. Wish we could stay longer. read more

This is one of those places that has something for everyone. We were looking for a place to stop with our dogs as we drove up to Tahoe & this was the perfect place to rest & stretch our legs. We had lunch at the shaded picnic tables, watched the ducklings in the creek, walked around the park a bit to check out the craft fair that was going on and then took the dogs over to the dog park. read more

What a great park. There is more to it than you can see from the highway. The back area has a nice pond and kids playground. There is also a community garden and workout area in the back area too. Swimming pool is open in the summer. A quiet green area to hang out and relax. Great place to bring kids to run around and play or feed the ducks. Also a great place to come sit and have lunch. One of the best features of downtown Bishop. read more
