What a great little park! Clean facilities and wonderful walking trails that will take you all the way down to the beach if you'd like. Our daughter loved the swings and seeing all the wildlife (ducks, squirrels, seagulls). The playground looked clean and well maintained and safe for little ones to play around on. Although we did witness a seagull completely dig into someone's bag for an open bag of chips! So watch your food-these birds are aggressive! Haha! Restrooms were cleaned and stocked too. Plenty of parking and good midway between Cayucos and Morro- but closer to Morro. Short drive in either direction. read more

This community park truly has it all! There are wonderful paved trails that lead you out to the beach. If you prefer to stay on the trail you can easily walk miles walking the expanse off paths and spots where you can birdwatch or take a break on a bench and enjoy the view. There are BBQ pits around the large grass area where you can also bring the kiddos to play on the climbing structure. The park is always busy and active with people on bikes, rollerblades or simply out walking their pets on leash. Dogs are welcome to come enjoy the several grassy areas where they are encouraged to explore, always on leash! (Please clean up after your pet. Bags are located by bathrooms) Last, but not least, make sure you bring layers because it tends to get windy out along the coast. Cloisters park A++ read more

Cloisters Park - Beach access from Cloisters Park - Playgrounds Near Me - Morro Bay, California

Grab a burger from Wee Shack (best burgers in Morro Bay) and relax and enjoy the fresh air at Cloisters Park. We were in month five of the pandemic lock down. While on vacation we grew tired of eating in our suv because all restaurant dining rooms were closed down. Cloisters park was a few blocks away from the restaurant and per yelp reviews they had plenty of picnic tables. Other than eating lunch here there's not much else to do, unless your have a dog or children. There's a nice kids playset and a path for dog walking. One additional bonus is that it's a stones throw from the beach. - Several picnic tables. - Watch out for pesky seagulls. - View of Moro Rock. read more

The Cloisters Park has many features - a playground area for young children, restrooms, with a large grassy area for family festivities or enjoying togetherness with one's furry friends. Please keep your animals on a leash for the safety of others. There are picnic tables with barbecue grills, along with benches to sit and enjoy the outdoors and wildlife. The park has a great view of Morro Rock as a back drop. The paved, handicap accessible pathways around the park are great for walking, running, biking & other physical activities. There are signs to stay on the paved paths so as to not disturb the local ecology which is home to many forms of wildlife. There are several educational information signs displaying facts of the area, as well as pictures of the wildlife that are indigenous to the area. The pathways to the North and South of the large grassy area lead to beach access. Approximately eight months ago, many ornamental grasses and succulents were planted in the park & surrounding areas. The plants have greatly increased in size, and the combination complements the beauty of the area. The park is clean, and well maintained by the city of Morro Bay. read more

Easily accessible from Highway 1, this is a nice, small park that's dog friendly and has a playground for kids. I like it because it has a short trail to the boardwalk and leads to a beach that has a great landscape view of Morro Rock. read more

Amazing paths all around. Nice open grass fields too and restrooms. There is a trail that leads to the bay as well.

Stopped here on a road trip with the kiddos!! It's off the 1 in Morro Bay. Just west of the highway in the cutest community. It was a great park to stop with the kids. One of the cleanest public parks. Bathrooms: SUPER clean!!! Omg shock! There are functional and clean hand washing stations outside with a hand dryer! I loved that there were dog bowls full of fresh water there. There are walking trails to the beach and alongside the community. Beautiful grass area for dogs and kids to run around. I don't know who needs to see this review, but if you have kids are are driving from SLO north or vice-versa, this is a great place to stop! It felt very clean and safe. read more

Clean, well maintained park area for kids as well as walking your dog. Patrons are respectful and friendly. Benches conveniently located for sitting to rest or just breathe in the great ocean air! read more

Although I've done most walks around Morro Bay, I hadn't been to this place until recently. Everything is pretty new, so it seems like it was installed more recently than some of the other places. If you walk along the road far enough, you'll end up at the beach in a couple of different locations, so it can be a nice walk from that perspective. There are lots of interesting displays about the flora and fauna of the area, and care has been taken to preserve some of the natural features while promoting native plants of the area. The small marsh area is a nice place to see birds. read more

Very nice park right by the ocean tucked away inside of a neighborhood. There is a play structure area, tables, benches, and restrooms. The walking path is very nice and takes you all around the park and right by the dunes. After the kids play at the park it is very close to the beach so you can go play in the ocean. read more

I have been coming to Morro Bay now for almost 10 years and it's nice to see that the Cloisters Park over that time really hasn't lost any of it's charm. Situated within the Cloisters community, the park has a nice little playground where it has a nice set of children's playground equipment, a nice jogging path that leads to the beach and a beautiful little pond that houses many of the marine birds (however in recent years this has dried up quite a bit from the drought). My favorite thing to do is to jog along the path here which is no more than a mile and then circle around the beachside houses. Something about breathing in the salty air really makes for a great run. At sunset this is the place to be. As the sun sets over the ocean, the light casts a pink salmon hue over the sky, clouds and over the rock that melts into a beautiful orange culminating right where the sun had just disappeared. This place is equally fantastic at night with all the stars out. This park is also great for dogs. Dogs on a leash though. Really impolite to have your dogs running around without any regard for other people's personal space. This is truly one of my favorite places in California and wish that all of you could enjoy it as much as I do. read more

Cute park! My GPS wigged out a bit when I was trying to get here, but we figured it out. It's just across the highway from Taco Temple, so we were able to work through half of our one-hour Taco Temple wait here. It was a great spot to keep the kids (a 10 yr old w a soccer ball and a 17 month old) occupied for a bit. The play structure is boat-inspired with a "swinging" bridge, some steering wheels (helms??), and a couple of slides, swings, and bouncing animals to rides. Did not check out the restrooms for myself, but I hear there is a metal urinal in the men's room, whatever that means. The grass area is large and the view of the bay is beautiful, but there is no beach access. We'll be back for a stroll on the paved trail here! read more

What a hidden away park. It is on a road that says dead end, so unless you live in the area you might just turn around and never get to the park. The Park has a nice set of climbing structures for the children and a flat wide walkway that encircles a giant patch of almost lawn. The pathway leads to a longer walkway along the coastline and many dog walkers, bikers and joggers use the trail. A handy item for those who live close by, and still handy for other who are here for the simple stroll. There are picnic tables and park benches, with benches facing in both directions. So if you are a bird watcher this could be a very nice stop for you too! Whence you sit quietly for a bit, the bird sounds pick up and the passing flight increase quite a bit. All in all it is a park with a little something for many lifestyles. The City of Morro bay takes care of things and that is nice too. Oh yes, restrooms are available. read more
