Bidwell Park & Playground Commission

Mission Statement
As representatives of the citizens of Chico, the Bidwell Park and Playground Commission (BPPC) endeavors to preserve and enhance the natural and recreational resources of Bidwell Park, community and neighborhood parks, greenways and open space throughout the community.
Through careful consideration of the needs and desires of citizens, coupled with an awareness of available city resources, the BPPC strives to ensure that the city’s parks and greenways are preserved and enhanced for this and future generations.
The Bidwell Park and Playground Commission (BPPC) generally meets monthly on the last Monday of each month unless otherwise rescheduled in the City Council Chamber – 421 Main Street. Please see below for agendas and information related to BPPC meetings.
