Transfer Students - About the Community
Bidwell Park
Chico is home to Bidwell Park, one of the largest municipal parks in the United States. The park continues to be an outstanding source of recreation for our students and the community. One of its longest-lasting claims to fame is that the original Adventures of Robin Hood, starring Errol Flynn and company, was filmed there among the majestic oaks and sycamores in 1939. It's easy to see why: This urban forest is unmatched. The park's theatrical tradition continues every summer with the annual late-summer Shakespeare in the Park productions in Cedar Grove.Chico Chamber of Commerce
