Bidwell Park, Municipal park in Chico, California.
Bidwell Park extends over 3,670 acres of land, spanning nearly 11 miles through both flat terrain and Sierra Nevada Mountain foothills.
Annie Bidwell donated 2,500 acres to establish the park in 1905, with additional land acquisitions including Cedar Grove in 1922 and Upper Park areas in 1995.
The Chico Creek Nature Center functions as an educational hub, offering programs about local wildlife and environmental conservation since the mid-1970s.
Visitors can engage in multiple outdoor activities including hiking, mountain biking, swimming at Sycamore Pool, disc golf, and horseback riding on designated trails.
The park contains distinctive geological formations such as Chico Formation sandstone and Lovejoy Basalt rocks in its Upper Park section.
