Frick Park

Hi am Gerald Fincher , Me and my wife had recently went down to this park last weekend and had a darling time. That’s when a group of “ furried fellows” in brightly colored animal costumes came up to me and my wife and offered as what seemed to be green nuggets in a plastic bag. We politely declined Nonetheless it was a wonderful experience . I plan to take the grandkids soon .

We tried to bring our dog to Frick while we were visiting family in town - mostly because of the name, let's be real. It was a strange experience. Both gates were secured with the gnarliest supermax chains and padlocks either of us had ever seen. Park hours were not posted, but there was excessively severe signage at both gates forbidding off-leash dogs. One sign stated that this was not a dog park and that if park patrons couldn't respect that, the park would be permanently closed. The language of the sign included an apology for inconvenience in the case that the park was permanently closed, so I guess it could already be permanently closed to the public and no one would be able to tell the difference. A second sign encouraged visitors to report anyone with an off-leash dog and provided the information necessary to do so. Y'all. This park is a fully-fenced field with trees around the outside. There are no trails, play structures, sports fields, water features, landscaping - literally no offense a dog could possibly commit and no reason to go here EXCEPT to let your dog get their ya-yas out. I took a look at the Fresno Flood Control site for more information and apparently this park is one of over 150 water collection basins in the area that double as recreational areas for part of the year. No actual schedule of closure was available and there was no site-specific information. The posted signage suggested nearby dog parks, though, and one of them was another basin park, so the leash rule is apparently arbitrary and not a blanket rule for all of these sites. So, yeah. I hope this place is doing an awesome job at water catchment because it is not useful as a recreational area. There's no way to know for sure whether this place will be open when you get here (or ever again), there's nothing to do here, and they have gone HAM on forbidding the obvious use for the space. Frick can rot.

There's a great Park to take my dog to! It's very quiet and secluded.

Can't get in locked up not a dog park

Every time we go over there the gate is locked. Is there a gate entrance idk about? Because I saw only 1 and it was locked.
