Sherwood Forest was a downtown toy store that carried a wide selection of toys for kids of all ages. They had all sorts of interesting toys, including assorted remote-controlled vehicles, stuffed animals, and other interesting/unusual choices. It was a fun store to walk through and dream of all the things you'd love to have, and even more fun when you could actually purchase those things!
It was located on the northwest corner of Fourth and Main in the former location of the Park Hotel, currently occupied by Campus Bicycle. There is still a mural of Robin Hood on the side of the building (facing 4th Street). This is not only a throwback to Sherwood Forest itself, but also likely due to the fact that the old Errol Flynn Robin Hood movie from 1938 was filmed in our very own Bidwell Park.
