There are a few parks and trails in Fresno, but none like the big and beautiful Roeding Park. It sits on a stunning 90 acres of land, with one-third of that being taken up by the Fresno Chaffee Zoo.

Feel free to stop by the zoo after a sesh. Before that, find a quiet spot to sesh in Roeding Park, which has been helping Fresnans relax and kick back since 1903.

It’s a historical park with playgrounds for children, so be sure to spark up away from families. With roughly 60 acres at your leisure, you won’t have a problem finding a zen, quiet spot.
