Letterman Park

Recreational Facilities

Located between Barstow and Bullard Avenues on Villa Avenue, this 10.9-acre green space offers a pleasant outdoor escape for Clovis locals and visitors.

The Clovis Rotary Skatepark stands out as a notable feature - a 27,000-square-foot concrete area designed for skaters. If you're just finding your balance or landing complex tricks, there's something for everyone with its expansive street section featuring ledges, rails, banks, and stairs.

The park includes a "trog" bowl with varying depths and a pool area featuring authentic details like stairs, tiles, and real pool coping. Just remember to bring your safety gear - helmets and pads aren't optional here, they're required.

Park Amenities

Letterman Park features open grassy areas great for picnics and frisbee games. Even during Central Valley heat waves, the lawns remain relatively green under the shade of the park's historic trees.

Scattered throughout you'll find several picnic spots complete with barbeque pits and benches - perfectly spaced for privacy even when the park is busy. These areas accommodate everything from casual family meals to larger gatherings.

Dog Park

The dedicated dog park area has separate enclosures - smaller dogs get their own space away from larger ones, allowing both to run, play and socialize safely off-leash.

Playground

Children can enjoy the playground equipment, which includes a rock climbing wall, slides, and monkey bars. You can sit on nearby benches while watching children play in a relatively safe environment.

Visitor Information

Letterman Park offers a mix of recreational facilities and natural elements. The park also houses a war memorial - a quiet spot for reflection amid the activity.

You'll find restrooms available throughout your visit, so you can comfortably spend the whole day exploring. It's easy to see why this park has become a community hub for locals and visitors.

One quick tip: parking can fill up during peak times, especially weekends and holidays, so you might want to arrive early. The park welcomes visitors daily from 8AM to 10PM.
