We absolutely love the pool at this park. Clean and fun. Staff is friendly.

Bishop Park has a great loop to walk, both sun and shade, and there's lots of room to set up a picnic blanket or some chairs to relax with family or friends. If you're coming for the Farmer's Market, I recommend parking across the street or down the street if you're arriving after 10:30am. The pool has been recently renovated and is quite nice. There is a splash pad and 2 diving boards. Every hour is a brief period of "adult swim only," and the entry fee is only $1. There is a 150 person capacity, so you may have to wait for others to leave before being permitted to enter.

I love this park for walking,but it's lots of other activities you can do their. People play tennis, go swimming, they have a nice playground for the kiddos. They remodeled the swimming pool,so you will enjoy swimming this year.Decent bathrooms, grills to bbq. People also create their own activities when they come like, skating, riding bikes, picnics, dance classes on the grass, it's so much you can do if you use your creativity.They also hold sporting events for the kids, like football,etc. If you have your dog keep it on the leash, but they like it too.The possibilities are endless.

This is a great place to go for a walk, run, or bike. My kids age 7 and 10 enjoyed biking on the paved sidewalks. That kept them busy about 30-45 minutes but after that they were bored of doing the same areas biking over and over. There is a pool and playground here. Both looked closed due to Covid 19. There were some people playing tennis. The bathrooms were clean. Overall we love this park!

It was the first time visiting since the county redid the pool. It looked great , but for whatever reason they weren't allowing very many ppl to swim. I don't think they had enough life guards on duty for that day.

Went here for the Farmers Market. It was so fun and they had a great variety. Lots of fruits, veggies, flowers, dog treats, pastries. Prices were a little high but quality was great

I love walking here for exercise. Parts of the walking trails are shaded, and fellow walkers greet you with a smile. Bishop Park is a great place to take a walk!

My kids love this park. There is a playground, a renewed pool, tennis courts, gym, some baseball/ football fields and sidewalk around the fields in case you are willing to spread your legs

Went to the Paw Patrol movie in the park. Great experience loved the emergency vehicles being there with give aways for the children. Kids were allowed to get in the vehicles and talk with the police officers, firemen and EMTs. I hope they continue to do this event as a yearly event. The family all enjoyed the outing.
