Trolley Creek Park

Park Overview

Tucked away in Fresno, this charming 3-acre green space stands out for its thoughtful design focused on inclusivity. We love how Trolley Creek Park welcomes everyone, regardless of physical ability.

The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District runs the park and has created accessible spaces throughout. You'll notice several play structures equipped with handicap ramps that make exploration possible for all visitors.

Feeling safe with little ones? The entire park is fully fenced with just one main entrance/exit and security cameras keeping watch. There's often a park attendant around making sure everything stays clean and orderly.

Historical Features

What makes this park unique are the miniature replicas of Fresno landmarks scattered across the grounds.

You'll spot scaled-down versions of local treasures like the Water Tower and Meux Home Museum, offering a little history lesson while you play. There's also a decorative trolley car that catches everyone's eye, however it's usually closed to visitors.

Playground Facilities

The play areas here are thoughtfully divided by age group, with helpful signs pointing out which zones are best for different little adventurers.

Kids have their pick of two distinct play structures, several swings, and plenty of climbing equipment to conquer. While the layout seems to be a hit with younger children, there's enough variety to keep older kids entertained too.

Picnic and Gathering Areas

The covered picnic pavilions make this place ideal for small get-togethers. These practical shelters come equipped with tables, BBQ pits, and some even offer electrical outlets for your convenience.

If you're planning a birthday party or community event, you can reserve the park for a reasonable fee. Most reservations run from early afternoon until the early evening, giving you plenty of time to celebrate.

Amenities and Landscape

Walking paths meander through the grounds, suitable for a peaceful stroll or some light exercise while the kids play.

You'll come across plenty of benches along the way when you need a moment to sit and take in the surroundings. The park offers clean restrooms during operating hours, however they sometimes close a bit earlier than the park itself.

Natural Environment

Trees and expansive green lawns create a peaceful retreat from city life.

True to its name, a creek runs through the park, adding a soothing natural soundtrack to your visit. We especially appreciate the mature trees providing generous shade around the grounds - a true blessing during Fresno's warmer months.
