This review is so over due as I have been coming to Letterman Park since January 2020 as I decided…read moreto make 2020 the year I lose my weight again! Anywho, the dude and I come here before the Pandemic and I can tell you that traffic definitely increased when the pandemic occurred as we would not see many people. Anywho, the first time I came to this park which is just across the street from our living quarters. The first time Clovis PD was there removing the homeless camps. Behind Letterman park there is a beautiful canal that has a princess path to get to it and this is where we saw duck couples and followed the same duck couple until they had babies of their own and started to feed their family. The park has a skate park attached to it, grassy areas, play structures and seating. Over the 5 or 6 months we have been frequenting this park we have seen which the pandemic came through and they had to shut down the park by putting caution tap all around. We seen people camp out here, do exercise classes and homeless roaming which he didn't see a lot of that before the pandemic. We walk out there all hours of the day and night. We bring flash lights as it gets pretty dark. We have met a lot of amazing people like a woman for the past 17 years will come out and feed abandoned domestic cats which there are about 10 of them. A really cool homeless dude that gives us updates on our duck babies and action going on. Teens out late probably up to no good. Met a father of three who was a cool dude who was laid off due the pandemic and his kiddos were so adorable! We see Clovis PD in back of the park all the time! So this park gets A LOT of action. However since it's so close we come here A LOT and will continue to do pandemic or not!

We arrived to an empty playground, which for me is fine because we have it all to ourselves. It was…read moreclean and great rock wall and slides and stuff foe the kiddo, there was a screw that was coming off the actual structure so that probably needs to be fixed, but otherwise it was nice. A great green grassy area was there with huge trees for shade that was great to run around in and little stands to watch the skateboarders although we just climbed up and down them. Overall I would come back, we stayed on our end of the park as the other seemed to have some homeless people at the picnic benches, they seemed harmless, but I don't want to risk anything happening so we stayed on our end. There was a trail too along the canal there with a fence which was nice as you don't want the kids to run into it or fall in.

There's a giant canopy over the playground which is nice during hot months. There's one big group picnic area with five or six tables/benches under a cover with bbq grills. It's nicely shaded during Fresno's hot summer . This group picnic area is a first come first serve basis . No reservation required. The city does a good job keeping this park clean and well maintained. Yard crew comes to mow the lawn, pick up dead leaves and the trash. They also keep the restrooms clean. One of the swings was broken so I called the Park and Rec Dept. I wasn't expecting them to come out and fix it anytime soon because it was during the New Years holidays. Much to my surprise, the swing was fixed within a few days of the phone call I made. So I called them back to thank them and a praise of a job well done to the supervisor and she was pleased with her team. Made her and my day. Teenagers who come to play basketball here are polite and nice. People who bring dogs here are friendly as well. Parking is big and there are two lots. The sign says they close the gates at the parking lots at 10 pm. I've seen them locked sometimes but not everyday. The basketball court is nicely lit till around 10 pm.

That is a rarity nowadays and I love it. There are a couple different play structures so the kids are not stacked on top of each other, and the shade barriers are nice as well, especially in the summer time and the basketball court is good too. Fenced in so kids can't ruin a game or a ball can't go to the playground and hit someone, so that's actually a nice plus. All around a great place.

There is a play structure good for smaller kids and big kids. I will say I saw some homeless people enjoying the shade, no bother.

The back part is a huge baseball field with lots of grass, away from the street to run up and down on. Well kept, the play ground was clean and the structure was pretty fun for the little.

This park use to be my childhood park and neighborhood. My parents and middle sister lived in this…read morearea when I was born 1992 and moved from this area in 2008 so I spent a good chunk of my life walking this park and walking through this park everyday from K to 8th grade. My middle sister and I would walk to school as Robinson Elementary is literally on the same field. It brings pleasant memories. Also, the fire station is on the same field as well so I have always felt safe here. I remember as I got older I would like to watch the firemen play soccer ;) . Or randomly watch the community play soccer or friends just hanging out kicking balls. But on 10/14/21 it was just me my self and I - just peacefully eating my lunch with the abundant of Squirrels scurrying around, reminiscing about my childhood and how it was nice just to be. Just to be with nature, the sounds, life, the laughter of children playing at the school and knowing that this place will always be special to me and is someone's childhood experiences with fond or unpleasant memories. All the walks I took here when I was happy, tired, sad, hurt or injured, the laughter with my little friends, the arguments my middle sister and I get into and cry, hug , laugh, play, the crushes we would try to walk with xD and racing peers by running with our heavy back packs on! Such good times. Walking home in the rain, getting chased by dogs, hopping the fence, seeing neighbors or strangers argue...these trees have all these memories and stand to this day retelling everyone's story. It's not Just a park to me but shaped me to appreciate the simple things in life, to grow and be the best person I can be. It reminds me to LIVE and appreciate life. I love coming here periodically and I have came here with the dude, my middle sister and would to take my nieces here. There are no slides, or no play ground, no water fun but trees, peace and calm. Good place to debrief from chaotic life and appreciate gods beauty.

The courts are well maintained and the facility overall is clean and organized. Plenty of space, good lighting, nothing feels run down or neglected. For a racquet club its just a really solid setup. What I didn't expect was the community aspect. People here are genuinely welcoming, especially to newer players. Didn't feel like I was intruding on some exclusive club thing, everyone was pretty cool and inclusive. They also do events like pickleball socials and wine tasting which is such a fun idea. Its a nice way to meet people and actually enjoy the space beyond just showing up to play and leaving. Location on Alluvial is convenient and easy to find. Parking is fine. If your looking for somewhere to play tennis or pickleball in Fresno this is a legit option. Good courts, good people, and more going on than just the sport itself.

Overpriced. Unfriendly staff. Horrendous conditions…read more I've been fortunate enough to be playing golf around the valley for the last 6 years, almost every single weekend. During that time, I've been to this course about 40-50 times. I've used the driving range and played the nine hole course. The last time I went (3 weeks ago) will be the last time I ever spend my hard earned money there. Overpriced- it's $35 to play nine holes with a broken cart. Half of the greens don't even have full grass coverage. A handful of times I've had my golf cart's battery die before I can even finish. Unfriendly staff- Most of the time I go, I can't tee off on the nine hole course before Jim barrels out of the club house and asks me when I plan to tee off. I've heard every excuse from "it's too hot outside to stay open past 4pm" to "you don't need to hit any practice chips before you tee off. Just hit a few after you guys finish the 9." I've never seen another business owner actively discourage people spending money at their business as much as I've seen Jim do this. Horrendous conditions- if you've been to this course in the last 12 months, I probably don't need to say anything more to you... The greens are made up of dirt on half of the holes and the matts you're supposed to tee of from (when you play from the blacks) are older than the river that flows behind the course. If you play a lot of golf like I do, you know how good it feels to not play the same handful of courses every weekend. That is why I kept returning to play here. I also thought that maybe it was so expensive because they needed money to get the course on the right track again... but after years of seeing the conditions get worse, I'm puzzled as to why it's so expensive. After some reflection, I've realized that, because of the owner's sentiment, I no longer wish to participate in funding this mess of an organization. It pains me to write this, because I love this game, but this is just plain robbery and I hope to save somebody from this experience.
