Adam Cook: This is a clean and well kept park if you need a place to take kids to left out some energy. One thing that is nice about this park is the amount of shade it has which is nice and helps keep the playground equipment cool.
This park is located near several hotels which makes it great for families that are vacationing in the area. We used the park several times to get the wiggles out of the kids before heading in for quite time.
Tamir ElSahy: The Autry Museum exceeded my expectations! It features an impressive collection of Native American artifacts and thoughtfully curated exhibit rooms that are both surprising and engaging. The museum has a unique charm that sets it apart. The children’s play area is spacious, exceptionally well-organized, and perfect for families. We’ll definitely be visiting again—this place is a gem!
Alfredo Garcia Jr: First time hear and impressed. Parkbis clean and safe. Fence all the way around.
We had our grandsons birthday party here and it was very good venue!
Darryl Ford: Neat, but somewhat hard to find, little park. It has a restroom building, parking lot, and a (very) small playground (single play structure, no swings). Park is mostly natural landscaping with rolling hills, a few seating areas, and a couple of picnic tables. There is a winding little pathway that meanders over a dry creek feature (with little wooden bridges fording the creek). Park has a couple of small "overlooks" but you really cant see much from either. Surprisingly pleasant given how close it is to the freeway (which you can see from about anywhere in the park)
Barbato Antonio (protocollo81): It is a nice park, very quiet but I think It need to be preserved better from the city and from the citizens. Walking around I found trash in different places, expecially in the water. Restrooms are dirty most of the time and some areas the grass is dieing. Need more maintenance!
Luz Fernandez: In 2024, a new playground was built in this park for the 1st time. My 2 kiddos love it. Theyre 10 & 9 years old. Its right next to the museum building. This park has really gone a long way in being renovated & made a great park for the community. Yes, theres homeless people who still linger there, but they keep to themselves for the most part. As a person whos been raised in Madera, this park has been getting better & better.
Carlos Reyes: Ficklin is a hidden gem. I never expected to find a world-class Port winery just a handful of miles west of Fresno. The sign said reservations are required to visit the gorgeous tasting room, but they cheerfully accommodated our unscheduled visit. None of the wines were less than $20, but the quality more than made up for that. We each got served three free samples. The wines were surprisingly different from each other. This is a true hidden gem in the central valley and worth a stop if you are driving through.
