Hancock Park

Recreational Features

Positioned in east Chico, California, Hancock Park spans a cozy 3.8 acres and is the neighborhood's outdoor living room. This little green oasis offers locals a place to stretch their legs, breathe fresh air, and connect with nature without venturing far from home.

At the heart of the park lies a multi-use turf playfield where the grass is always inviting. This open expanse is well-suited for impromptu soccer games, frisbee tosses, or simply sprawling out with a good book. If you're looking to work on your disc golf game, you'll appreciate the practice disc golf baskets scattered throughout - ideal for casual players wanting to perfect their technique without committing to a full course.

Park Amenities

Need to clear your head? The park's winding walking path offers a gentle route for your thoughts to wander as much as your feet. When you're ready for a breather, benches dot the landscape, providing perfect spots to pause and take in the scenery.

One of Hancock's simple pleasures is its canopy of shade trees that create natural cooling zones - something you'll definitely appreciate during Chico's warmer months. The tranquil atmosphere makes this spot particularly suitable for unwinding with family or enjoying a peaceful moment alone.

Neighborhood Experience

Hancock Park has earned its reputation as a well-kept community treasure. Throughout the day, you'll spot families with children making the most of the open spaces - playing, walking, and simply enjoying being outdoors together.

Dog owners will find this a welcoming place to exercise their four-legged friends, with plenty of room for them to stretch their paws. The park welcomes visitors of all ages. While you can't reserve the park for private gatherings, you can still bring along some extra fun - bounce houses are permitted as long as they meet the park management's requirements.
