Community Park — Attraction in Chico

Lots of big open field, baseball fields, about 5 disc golf baskets, pickle ball and tennis courts, there’s a play structure for little kids and another one for toddlers and the picnic tables are nearby, and there’s even an area designated for dogs as well as a bag dispenser to clean up after them.
