Sierra Bicentennial Park

Park Overview

Positioned in the northwest corner of Sierra and Sunnyside Avenues in Clovis, California, Sierra Bicentennial Park spreads across 18 acres of recreational space. This local favorite welcomes visitors of all ages with its diverse facilities and laid-back atmosphere. If you're planning a visit, the gates are open daily from 7AM to 10PM.

Natural Spaces

Wandering through Sierra Bicentennial, you'll find yourself surrounded by well-kept green spaces and inviting walking trails. It's the kind of place where you can clear your head during a peaceful morning stroll or get your heart pumping with a brisk jog. The mature trees - some truly impressive in height - cast welcome shadows across the grounds, reflecting the park's history as one of Clovis's older, more established green spaces.

The winding paths offer a refreshing escape from city life, despite being right in town. There's something calming about the spacious layout that gives you room to breathe, especially nice given Clovis's generally mild weather year-round.

Sports Facilities

Athletes and casual players alike will find plenty to love at Sierra Bicentennial Park. The lighted softball and baseball fields mean the fun doesn't have to end when the sun goes down, and the soccer fields provide ample space for both pickup games and league matches.

There are basketball courts available, but they might benefit from a little TLC. Beach volleyball enthusiasts can take advantage of the sand volleyball court - just remember to bring your own net if you want to play.

The park once boasted batting cages with pitching machines for different skill levels, but recent visitors mention they may no longer be working. If you're counting on using them, it might be worth checking their current status before your visit.

Family-Friendly Amenities

Kids have plenty of room to burn energy at the multiple playground areas designed with different age groups in mind. Younger children have their own play structure separate from the one for older kids, ensuring safe fun for everyone.

Planning a get-together? The park's picnic shelters and BBQ pits make it easy to host anything from casual lunches to birthday celebrations. The vine-covered canopy area is often used for parties, with its natural green ceiling providing nice shade during gatherings. Within the park, you'll find several covered picnic areas providing welcome shade during those warm California afternoons.

Additional Recreation

If you're looking for something different, try your hand at the horseshoe pits for a bit of old-school fun. Throughout the year, the park occasionally hosts community events like car shows, bringing locals together in this shared space.

Dog owners will appreciate the dedicated dog park with thoughtfully separated areas for small and large dogs. Your four-legged friends can hydrate at the pet-friendly drinking fountains located just outside the dog park gates - a considerate touch that serves both human and canine visitors.

Facilities

Multiple restroom facilities are scattered around the grounds, but cleanliness can vary depending on when you visit. Drinking fountains are available in several locations, including those pet-friendly options mentioned earlier.

The parking situation is adequate for normal days, but spaces can fill up quickly during peak times or special events. While the Sunnyside Avenue location makes the park easy to find, be aware that traffic in the area can get congested during rush hour.
