Empty and tiny dog park!
Matt C.

What a scam! We drove here because it was supposed to be the best in town. It is tiny and not even a quarter of the size of Woodward Park's dog park. What a friggin joke!

"This aquatic play equipment operates using a re-circulating water system to conserve water and it supplies chemical and UV light water purification for the safety. " the sign reads. I guess it's good that they recycle the water and not waste it . It's a nice little clean park in the good neighborhood in North East Fresno or I guess Clovis. My son has been enjoying this park since he was very little and still loves it. Cools us off during hot Fresno summer. Sometimes there's a shaved ice truck selling shaved ice. Parking is a bit small , most of the time we park on the streets but that's okay. Right across from Copper Hills Elementary School. There is a water park , a regular park with play structures, a dog park , a skateboard park and the track field. There's something for everyone.

None of the water features are on. This is so weak.

Um, what is going on here? Only 3 water features are working and those that are, are barely trickling out. This place is a major bust. Used to be great and this year it has gone downhill. My Child could enjoy more water coming out of our sprinklers at home.

Slide is way too hot to go down

The toddler side is under sun and too hot by 10am and the kids over age play on the this side are not careful with the little ones!! Also the water park has been under construction and not working for the month of June with no estimate on when it will be ready!

At the park with the kids having a great time!!!!

Great park nice clean environment!!! Will be returning to celebrate a birthday party!!

Took my pups here to play in the fenced in dog park area. The only thing I don't really like is the gravel/dirt ground. I wish it was more grassy. Also owners be ware of the ground temperature! My pup loves to play fetch and because of how hard he was running and the temp, he burned his paw pads. He has shoes now haha.

Ask the Community - Todd Beamer Park

When do they turn the water feature on for the summer, and when does it end? Or what months does it run?

Does the water turn on at 9 or 10am on Thursdays?

10 am

My family had a wonderful day exploring the botanical garden. If you stop inside the visitor center…read morebefore the garden they have an activity for the kids. My boys really enjoyed the list of things to look for while exploring. On the list we found bugs, butterflies, lizards, flowers and a few more. The garden has a few shady spots that were much needed for a break from the heat. They also have a little section of music instruments to play. We didn't get to try them but someone was playing a beautiful melody while we were there. When we were done exploring the beautiful garden we headed back to the visitor center. The boys both got stickers for completing their activities list. Inside the visitor center they also sell some beautifully crafted cups, soaps, honey and other trinkets. My boys picked out a few toys and I go their honey. The honey is actually really delicious.

When we first moved back to Clovis, we stayed with my mother-in-law and she lived right across the…read morestreet from the botanical garden and park. My kids loved coming here. It was always a great way to spend some outdoor time and get fresh air. The new building in the botanical garden is incredible and 100% community funded! That means the volunteers and donors of this space fully own everything! With zero government red tape, they're able to fast track art events, adult ED classes, garden parties, and create jobs for the community. The new building is beautiful and comes with a small gift shop, selling local artist pieces, indoor meeting/recreation area, and an shaded outdoor patio. The patio is public and available for anybody who is walking the trail. We actually ate our lunch here, before walking the botanical garden trail for a nature scavenger hunt. They also cleaned up a few of the trails and opened up a few more areas for outdoor events. This is a great addition to the Clovis community and if you haven't been yet, get yourself here and support this beautiful botanical garden!

I recently put together a fairly substantial road trip to see a bunch of California I'd never…read moreproperly explored, including a handful of stops, like this one, to see things that had gone on mental my list to see "eventually" like a decade ago, that I decided to cross off as many of as I could, at once. Honestly, I didn't entirely know what to expect - I'd seen pictures of the place, but pictures don't do the *scale* of the place justice. Indeed, having now taken the tour of what is left, the most mindboggling thing I learned about it is, by the time anyone had started working to preserve what was left, a majority of the land Forestiere had converted to his home, had long been sold to developers, who just filled it all back in. It was originally even several times larger! Anyway, the part I did already know, but it was still impressive to see in person: from ground level, it hardly looks like anything, just a standard small orchard, if that. But as soon as you descend, you can see, and *feel*, instantly why he built it. Unlike the sprawling Winchester house I originally had mentally compared it to, which was built by a rich person slowly going insane, in this case, it was built by someone with fairly modest wealth (indeed, when he started, no wealth whatsoever), just loads of time and the willingness to learn how to construct and then, for the rest of his life, continuously improve, a wonderfully air conditioned house using no electricity (it was a hundred million degrees outside the weekend we were there, and a perfect temperature once the tour started), that everything he built, was built to make it a more comfortable place for himself to live and grow citrus, as he slowly McGuyvered himself a megamansion out of nothing but primitive tools, a couple donkeys, and decades worth of time and effort. Super cool! (Well, we did learn, eventually he realized what he was building could be turned into a hotel, and had started working on that when he died. It's too bad he didn't complete it - I'd have loved to stay in that hotel!) It's even more impressive that, while it eventually turned into quite a home, he *started* digging it as a temporary fix to try to grow his citrus, after he moved to Fresno hoping to farm citrus, so when he discovered the topsoil sucked too much to grow citrus trees, he dug deeper down, planted citrus there, and built an underground citrus grove so successfully, with fruit of all shapes and sizes, that a majority are still the same citrus trees growing there now - and they look *seriously* juicy. I just wish they could sell them to us when they were ripe - I wanted to eat one! (I asked - they aren't legally allowed to sell produce to consumers themselves. Every once in a while some local business will buy produce and make snacks they can sell themselves, but mostly they just have to let the produce fall naturally and decompose back into the soil.) I wouldn't feel the need to come back now that I've seen it - it's not like anything is likely to *change* at this point (unless maybe they eventually could get a license to sell the citrus grown there?) - but it was definitely worth making the detour to see the place finally. p.s. Parking was not *nearly* as much of a big deal as I'd worried it would be. The website indicates that due to construction on the next big street over, it's street parking, so get there early. Turns out the street they said to park in, is basically a glorified alley - admittedly, we were the first tour of the day, it might get busier later, but there was *tons* of free parking. I was mostly worried about our car being broken into, being in what is now a fairly sketchy-looking neighborhood with zero foot traffic most of the time. It was fine, though, obviously.

Shoutout to Kelsey, our awesome tour guide. She walked us through the Forestiere's underground…read moregarden and spoke proudly about its history. My family came here to visit not knowing what to expect. It was a great experience learning how Forestiere built these tunnels so intentionally and with innovation. The guided tour is about 60 minutes and includes a lot of walking with some stairs, so be prepared with comfy shoes. However, there's also benches in the tunnels if you need a quick seat. The tour ends in the grand ballroom which connects to the gift shop. There you can find citrus sorbet made from the fruits of this garden. I had to give that a taste and it was sweet and zesty. I went home with some postcards to send to friends too. This place is also California State National Landmark No. 916! You must add it to your bucket list of adventures.
