I was looking for a nice park to do a photo shoot for a campaign I'm doing for work. The…read moreparticipant suggested this park and I'm so glad we came here for it. It is a very spacious park. I was surprised how big it was. There are plenty of parking around the park. I saw a nice trail for people to walk on which is fantastic. On the park itself there are two big bridges I saw and in the distance is also a playground area with jungle gym for little ones to play at. Quite a lively park with many people utilizing it. There are many big and established grown trees providing lots of shade. This park is great for sports and outdoor activities because of the open space. There was no trash on the floor and the park is pretty well kept.

One drawback is the amount of trash and broken glass that is around the rivers edge.

So when my parents took me out to lunch we decided to have a Panda Express picnic at Rotary Park. The breeze was on point. However the tables definitely needed a cleaning. I have not see any illegal activities yet but I am highly aware of illegal activities taking place at large parks but I have only stayed an hour or less and only seen children playing, mothers strolling their babies and elderly couples taking a brisk walk. I will be back and I would love to bring my nieces here too! I love parks and fresh air. I felt safe at this park no bad vibes will be back.

Courthouse Park has a lot to offer. From shady parking to a local museum to a stage for special…read moreevents, this patch of grass-and-monuments is a welcome addition to the middle of Madera. Its biggest problem, however, it shares with all of Madera's parks: it's full of vagrants. The lawns serve as a bed for as many as a couple dozen people a night, from drunken farm laborers to vagabonds with shopping carts full of garbage, this is a prime place to crash for those who have nowhere else. Despite all that, the city keeps it fairly clean, but the place the locals call Old Man's Park remains an undesirable place to take a family, or have a picnic, or just go for a walk.

There is a kids playground area, a bench area, bathrooms, swings and musical area, basketball court, and baseball field. Lots of space, everything seems in good condition. I think my only complaint is about the bathrooms. They were mostly cleaned, but the soap dispensers all seemed broken and there were spitwads all over the ceiling. It's a bit of a trek for us but we will be back!!

I'd say this is one of the best hidden gem parks in Fresno, but since parking is almost always hard…read moreto find, I think the news is out. If you haven't stopped by this park before, please note that parking fills up fast-especially on weekends and holidays-but it is worth it. Nestled in a residential area of central north Fresno, this park has something for everyone. If you want to throw a party, there is a sheltered picnic area that you can use. I highly recommend that you reserve the space through the City of Fresno, as it is often booked. There is an ADA accessible path, a water feature that meanders through the grounds and can be very refreshing in the hot Fresno summer. There is a sand play area, swings, see saw, climbing structure and a lovely park path that overlooks a ponding basin filled with fish, turtles and water birds. This particular basin has a small island with large trees that are often filled with white cranes and other birds. The park grounds offer quiet benches under shade trees to sit for a while, grassy gently sloping lawns that are great for frisbee or other family activities. This is also an amazing place to find a ton of baby geese in the spring....super cute! I've seen folks relaxing and flying kites here....playing ball, and just enjoying being off screen and outdoors. Check it out, if you haven't already!
