<p>Home to Bidwell Park, one of the largest municipally owned parks in the nation, as well as a vibrant Downtown and City Plaza, Chico prides itself on a large variety of recreational and community opportunities throughout the year. Locals and out of town visitors are quick to remark on the sense of community and lively spirit that seems to permeate all of Chico, especially at the local famers&rsquo; markets or free concerts in the plaza that occur all summer long.</p>
<p>The City of Chico is a charter city with a City Council consisting of seven councilmembers. The City is a Council &ndash; Manager form of government, with the City Manager directly appointed by the Council.
