Lost Park

Lost Park is a small urban park located in downtown Chico, California. This 2.6-acre green space is situated between the Esplanade and Camellia Way bridges, straddling both sides of Big Chico Creek. The park forms part of the larger Bidwell Park system, although it is not officially designated as such.

Lost Park serves as a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city, offering a serene environment for local residents and visitors. The park's main feature is the section of Big Chico Creek that runs through it, providing a natural water element that enhances the park's atmosphere.

While relatively small in size, Lost Park plays an important role in Chico's urban landscape. It contributes to the city's network of linear parks and greenways, which are defined as narrow public open spaces maintained in a natural or landscaped state. These areas serve multiple purposes, including recreation, environmental conservation, and urban beautification.
