		Home of Big Chico Creek, Sycamore Pool, Bidwell Golf Course and Big Chico Creek Canyon--to name a few of the most popular features--the park is the natural heart and soul of the community and regularly tabbed by News & Review readers as the best thing about Chico.
		The park is governed by the city of Chico through the Bidwell Park and Playground Commission and therefore, as per Annie's wishes when she deeded the park to the city, there shall be no glass containers, alcohol or hunting (except to remove noxious animals) anywhere in the park.
		The Chico Creek Nature Center has been growing both in size and popularity since the nonprofit organization was established in 1982.

	Review of Water Quality Monitoring Data
		While fairly “common” creek litter such as cans, bottles and food packaging, or the bike rack shown here, do little to degrade the actual quality of the stream’s water, it is indicative of a general lack of regard for the creek and results in a degradation of esthetic qualities.
		Big Chico Creek had the least number of cysts (0.16 +/- 0.06 per gallon) out of the four water bodies tested (Oroville Lake, Butte and Big Chico Creeks, and the Sacramento River).
		Highway 32, heading east from Chico, forms a portion of the Big Chico Creek watershed divide, and runs directly along the stream itself in a portion of the upper watershed.

		The Yahi Trail, which runs next to the creek, is strictly for hikers: Bikers and horses should stay off.
