I'm very aware that there's a sign on each field but it sure seems inviting to go onto the fields since they provide poop bags right there for you. I clean up after my dog and other people's pet waste and misc trash that let out there but they don't care. I've had police and even the guy that mows the grass out there and they've never told me to get off the fields. You can go there at anytime of the day and people are using the fields to run their dogs! Just part of the Pismo beach police departments revenue machine.

I can absolutely see why this park is so highly rated within the city. Between the zip line, the…read morecardboard hill you slide down, the huge slides, the smaller toddler play area, wide open grassy spaces, walking trails, tennis courts, a baseball diamond, and clean bathrooms--this is easily one of the best parks I've ever been to. I was anticipating my brother coming into town early Saturday, but he arrived a bit later than planned. That actually worked out because my daughter and I were able to check the park out ahead of time. When we returned on Sunday with my nephew, both kids were completely enamored. My brother and sister-in-law were just as impressed--the park is truly amazing. It's not overly crowded, feels very safe, and there's plenty of parking. We brought our own snacks and enjoyed a little picnic, which made the day even better. The weather was beautiful, and we already can't wait to return. This will definitely be our go-to park whenever we have the time. Absolutely love this place.

Super fun park in SLO and definitely one of the best playgrounds. Located right next to the…read morebaseball field, this park has two different playgrounds, one for the little kids and a separate one of the bigger kids. Several large enclosed slides which are great for hotter days. There's a fun hill you can slide down on cardboard boxes as well as a small zip line. There's a number of benches and tables for adults to sit. Some are in the shade while others are not. There's some beautiful redwood trees on the periphery of the playground to do a nice picnic under. Parking lot is shared with a pool but there's plenty of space as long as there's no baseball game. There's also tennis courts next to the playground. The playground was redone in 2017 but it's held up pretty well. Overall very enjoyable place to bring kids with lots to keep them busy for a few hours of outdoor fun!

As I opened the second fence to let him in (while my dog was still on leash) the big white dog rushed in and attacked my dog I had to pick him up and the dog started jumping on me as we exited the gate. The owner said it had never happened before that he is aggressive in bark only. While I was getting in my car to drive away I heard her say "oh she's not even going to walk her dog" ummm no lady I'm going home where I have a yard and no risk of random attack. My dog is very social and was at doggy daycare daily when we lived in city, so wanted to try it out. My dog was okay just a little shaken up but these public places run the risk of irresponsible dog owners and aggressive pets that maybe aren't accepted at daycare programs.

The entire park is huge and spans over 100 acres! They have large and small dog areas, which are filled with part grass, and sand. My dogs really enjoyed the large fenced dog area and found another Aussie dog friend that they ran around with! The space is huge so there is a ton of space for plenty of dogs, playing catch and just overall for them to run around and not feel confined. There are basketball courts, baseball fields, and various grassy areas to host picnics or barbecues. There is a really nice walking path in this part of the park in which you can walk around the courts, fields and dog parks. There is also another area in the park which has additional walking paths and a really nice native garden. So glad I stumbled upon this park. I can't wait to take my dogs here again and also enjoy some walking!

For my California friends who have driven the 101 between LA and SF (or at least made a break for…read moreSLO from Pasadena), you probably have a vague recollection of seeing signs for Nipomo... but maybe can't remember quite where along the drive. ... and that's Ok, because Nipomo is more or less content to keep to itself. A small but tightly-knit community, heavily influenced by an agrarian history, this little town is just a skip off the highway, and close enough to Pismo and SLO that most folks don't think to stop there. But if you're in no particular hurry, and you're not looking for manicured nonsensical whimsy such that one might find in the nonpareil sections of Santa Barbara, then give this town a look. In addition to one of my favorite steakhouses (see my review for Jocko's in Nipomo), there are other little treasures to be found on quiet streets with backdrops of pasture and agriculture. On our most recent trip in April 2021, my family got a wild hair and we decided to take the drive up to Jocko's from our campsite at El Capitan for COVID-19 style takeout. Once our to-go containers were safely in my truck, we looked around for a place a little nicer than the gravel-covered parking lot of said steakhouse to enjoy our meals. Just a short drive away on the other side of the 101, we found this regional park. Somewhere in the midst of athletic fields, open spades of rolling hills, and a few playgrounds, we found a picnic area beneath century-old oak trees. There was something magical about eating our oak-grilled Spencer steaks and filet mignon cuts, huge baked potatoes with all the fixings, and a bunch of sides in that setting. The crisp, clean air, pushed by a sea breeze made the sunset sparkle through the trees as we supped. Yeah, I know... it's just a park. But for that short time, it was our family table, a celebration of being together with and for each other. That it is a peaceful and beautiful little spot off the beaten path made it that more special.

It's also a 15-minute walk to the base of the peak, if you're looking for a good area to get in a run/hike. Restaurants (Pita Pit, G Brothers, Chile Peppers, etc.) and Albertson's are nearby on Foothill, making this a great place to have an easy BBQ. Next time I'm looking to get a good run in, I'll be back.
