Fresno

Fresno is a city in California’s San Joaquin Valley. Created in the early 1900s, Forestiere Underground Gardens consists of Roman-catacombs-inspired subterranean passages and courtyards. Fresno Chaffee Zoo has sea lions and a stingray touch pool. Sprawling, trail-lined Woodward Park is home to the Shinzen Japanese Garden. The city is a base for Yosemite National Park, with its waterfalls and giant rock formations. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Fresno had a population of over 500,000 residents. However, please note that population figures may have changed since then. Fresno has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Temperatures can often reach high levels in the summer months. The city is well-connected by highways, including State Route 99, which runs through the Central Valley. Fresno Yosemite International Airport provides air travel options.
