Woodward Park, Fresno, CA

Some weekends you just want to relax, stay in or just go out locally. Since I came to Fresno, I have been hearing a lot about Woodward Park, but have never had the chance to visit it. Today was the day. The temperature was forecast to be only 87 degrees Farenheit, so I was eager to get up early to feel the chills of a Sunday morning.

I arrived at Woodward Park at 8.30 AM and parked by Fresno Heart Hospital which is right across from the entrance to the park. The entry fee for a vehicle is $5, but since I just walked in, I had to pay nothing.

The views were really nice! I was glad to see some sort of water in a desert climate.

The abundance of gorgeous geese is undeniable! Some people were feeding them and I captured a really cool gathering.

There were some small creatures living in the ground, looked like squirrels:

Among amazing creatures there was this beautiful peacock:

I never realized that peacocks can fly!

Another cool find was Shinzen Japanese Garden. There is a separate entry fee of $5, but it was my favorite part of the park. It reminded me of Chicago Botanic Gardens I visited during my road trip a month ago.

Bonsai trees are located in another secluded area of the park, it is free to enter. It is amazing how some of the trees were over 250 years old!
