by ABL1958 During the spring and summer Chico's downtown area is closed off on Thursday evenings around 6 pm for their weekly Farmer's Market. Traffic is diverted but I didn't find it too difficult to find my way around. I went to Farmer's Market the week I was there and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only is there wonderfully fresh produce, but crafts as well. And the FLOWERS! Huge bunches of exotic-looking flowers in bright splashes of color, and only around $3 a bundle. On the eastcoast something like that would have been closer to $40. I wanted to buy the place out and stow all the flowers away on the plane to bring back to my friends and family. Attending Farmer's Market is a feast for the eyes, as well as the belly lol. There is also live music and dancing...making it seem more like a festival.

 John and Annie Bidwell Mansion by Tom_Fields Bidwell Mansion State Historic Park is just outside downtown Chico. John and Annie Bidwell lived here for many years. General John Bidwell was a leader in the Bear Flag Revolt, winning California's independence from Mexico. He was also a farmer, businessman, statesman, and civic booster. The Bidwells donated huge tracts of land to Chico State University and Bidwell Park. Without them, Chico would be nothing.

 Bidwell Park by Etoile2B The heart of Chico is arguably Bidwell Park. This park is named for the town’s founders, Annie and John Bidwell, who subsequently bequeathed this land to the city at the start of the 20th Century. Today this park, one of the largest municipal parks in the country, spans over 3,618 acres and stretches over 11 miles. The park had two distinct areas, Upper and Lower Park. The Lower Park is more developed, housing paved roads, sports facilities, playgrounds, etc. The Upper Park is less manicured and more “wild” making it popular for hiking, mountain biking and trail riding. Bidwell Park features a The Chico Creek Nature Center, several playgrounds including a Children’s Park, a public golf course, swimming pools, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and picnic areas, just to name a few of the amenities. The extensive trails that stretch from the Lower Park up into the Chico Creek Canyon that defines much of the Upper Park is popular for hiking, horseback riding and biking. Skaters and joggers often frequent the paved roads in the Lower Park. Chico Creek runs down from the canyon and through the whole of the park. In Upper Park many find natural water holes, while the less adventurous chose to take a dip in the “Five Mile” or “One Mile” areas that are dammed off in the summer months to create public swimming pools. And a brave some even challenge the chilly waters of the One Mile annually on New Years Day with a polar bear swim. If you’re into nature this is one Chico gem not to be missed. Leave a Comment
