Bidwell Park, often called the "Jewel of Chico", is by far the greatest legacy Chico founders General John and Annie Bidwell left to the community. It was Gen. John Bidwell's wish that Annie would give this land to the City of Chico for public use. She did so by deeding 1,900 acres in 1905 and another 301 acres in 1911. This parkland stretched from Upper Park and Hooker Oak in the east to Children's Playground in the west. Over the years, additions to the park were purchased by the City of Chico bringing the total acreage of the park to almost 2,300 acreas by 1935. At that time, Bidwell Park was the fourth-largest municipal park in the country. In 1995, the City of Chico acquired 1417 acres on south side of Big Chico Creek bringing the total park land to it's current 3,670 acres. Bidwell Park stretches nearly eleven miles, beginning at Bidwell Mansion in downtown Chico and ending five miles up into the foothills of Upper Park.
