Oso de Oro Park
"Sloan Johnson" Oso de Oro Lake Park located at 5550 N. Forkner.
Since opening in June 1995, Oso de Oro Lake Park has been the recipient of National and State awards for innovation and design excellence. It was also the model for the District’s newest park, Trolley Creek Park in southeast Fresno.
This nine-acre site combines its primary function of storm water retention with secondary functions of groundwater recharge and recreation. Nearly all construction costs were provided by private donations. For a list of donors, click here or see the honor wall at the park.
