Nice park, nice playground. Found a couple syringe caps on the playground but hey, its California, what can ya do. If you're bringing your little ones here to play, do a quick needle check in the sandbox and near the slides. I would give it 5 stars but there is no sharps containers for our local Outdoor Americans to throw their "diabetic supplies" away.

I've been going to this place since I was a baby. It is one of the most magically beautiful pieces of land on the face of this Earth. I went the other day to practice identifying wild plants. It was a beautiful day and ended up being quite educational.

5 Mile Recreation Area is one of the many magical areas within Bidwell Park. It's perfect for a casual stroll with your canine companion or to simply sit and chill on one of the benches Creekside. Home of the iconic 5 Mile Bridge spanning over Chico Creek. There are a number of picnic benches on the lawn area to enjoy lunch or group gatherings. Public restrooms are also available. It's a beautiful place to visit this time of year. 2/9/23
