Chico Puts Park Off-Limits to Troops
United Press International
CHICO, Calif. — The Army Reserve can’t use Bidwell Park for war games anymore because the soldiers are scaring the civilians, Chico’s planning commission has decided.
The criticism stemmed from small squad tactics practiced in the 2,400-acre municipal park on Jan. 12 by about 10 officers and 30 enlisted personnel of an Army Reserve battalion.
