    On a recent road trip, we decided to give our kids a chance to stretch their legs and decided to try out this park. We're so glad we did because it was fantastic. Right off the bat, I will say that this park has one of the nicest/cleanest public restrooms I have ever experienced. The men have an open doored urinal area and then there are fully private unisex stalls on the other side. There is an open air sink area between the two. It was really nice. The playgrounds here are also really well maintained and offers options for kids of all ages. We have a 2, 5, and 7 year old and they all had things they could enjoy climbing on and playing with. I just wish they had slightly more cover as there were some metal play items that got quite hot in the summer sun. The rest of the park is just a massive grass area with plenty of trees for shade. We used one for a delightful picnic between play sessions. Parking I could see being a bit of an issue if you want to park right up next to the area. There is minimal street parking completely surrounding the park but you could find street parking on one of the many side streets and walk over if those are all taken.

    Day or night this park is lovely! We came here multiple times on our visit to the area. During the day you will find lots of green grass, shade and benches. There are children playing on the playground and people walking their dogs. Across the street are lots of places to grab a snack and enjoy a picnic as well. In the evening, the trees are lit up with glowing lights and the park is still full of life and people. I wish there was a park like this closer to me and I encourage anyone reading this to stop and take advantage of everything this beautiful space has to offer!

    We stopped by the farmers market at City Park, but it was too hot to fully enjoy. However, the park is beautiful, and I was pleased to see an AED defibrillator available for emergencies. I believe all public places should have one. 6/24/24

    Beautiful and clean park. There is a kids zone and the holiday light we're breathtaking. The bathrooms could use some cleaning. Overall, nice park surrounding down town Paso Robles.

    This historic park is the center of all thing Downtown Paso Robles. You will walk by or through as it is a huge hub for all the local businesses in the area. Oddly the restrooms are one of my favorite DPR City park features... for public restrooms they're super well kept and a must in a pinch. They have individual facilities (6-8 secure gender neutral "water closets'") as well as men's and women's larger public restrooms. The sinks run great and there's even hand dryers. Downtown City Park of Downtown Paso Roble has safe and clean equipment for kids and families to enjoy via playground as well as clear and clean paths to walk about. The have thick lavish trees for shade as well as ride open spaces with beaches and pure sunshine. There's a classic library building that stands as a learning center for kids as well as gazebos and tiny wood houses on the outer area of the park. The Downtown City Park encompasses Pine and Spring St and covers the block from 11th to 12th. It's more than well kept and the community here definitely does their best to keep it that way as well as inviting for all.

    I was in the downtown area for a few hours and I spent a great deal of that time at the park with my dog. * Later in the day I did see the sign that dogs aren't allowed.* The park is between Spring, 11th, Pine, and 12th streets. There is parking available on all four sides. The park has tables and benches galore and the trees are huge! I saw numerous families playing at the playground. I appreciated the cleanliness of the bathrooms and sink area. Probably the cleanest public bathrooms I've ever used! The park does host plenty of events throughout the year so keep an eye out for those.

    The dude and I took a walk around Paso Roble Downtown City Park on 01/11/21 after we had an amazing lunch at the Fish Gaucho, we so needed to walk off the calories we just put on! I have been to Paso Robles several times as an adult and child but this was the first time for the love so I told him stories of how special this city and town was to me as my best friend passed away shortly after graduating high school in 2011 and as kids on a field trip he bought me my first Rubric cube and we shared lovely memories at this park. I couldn't remember the shop we went to but it would be craZy if it was still open (I think I was 11 at the time) So it was lovely to share memories with my love and I think my love fell in love with this little town and knows how special it is to me! It was such a lovely walk! We were our masks but a lot of people who were walking didn't no judgement to them as when I take my Clovis walks I don't wear a mask. But we felt since we were coming out of town it was necessary. They have a children's play area and ample benches you can come eat your breakfast, lunch or dinner and you can take your alcoholic beverages here and have a drink or two which was pretty cool! There is a historic building located in on the park which is the library but looks closed. The park was very clean and beautiful. I highly recommend getting to go food with cocktails to go or a bottle of wine from Hayseed and enjoy the lovely weather. Very romantic dinner or lunch date for sure and even do some shopping after too to support local businesses!

    This is - dare I say it - the nicest city park I've ever been to. There are large parks, there are beautiful parks, but when you think of that classic Central Park where everyone wants to congregate in the evenings, this is the one to beat. We wandered through while exploring the town. We were blown away by just how clean and large it was. The whole place, even during COVID, was filled with children running and laughing, older folks sitting on benches and young couples wandering and holding hands. It was the classic park scene you hope for. Overall, I was just blown away by how nice and well-maintained it was. No spotty grass, no litter, no overflowing trash cans. It says a lot about how the locals respect this place to see it in such prime condition.

    This is a beautiful town square. Walking through, you can imagine the wonderful times had by all over the years here. Look up at the trees and enjoy the chill vibe. There was a guy singing karaoke in the gazebo and a full moon was in the sky...beautiful.

    How safe is it to walk around Downtown Paso Robles at night?

    We walked to and from dinner one night with our 4 year old and felt completely safe.

    Is there a parking lot?

    There is plenty of on street parking surrounding the Park and even more on the surrounding blocks. The City has a section on their website for downtown parking with lots of detail.

There is lots of parking and clean bathrooms that are open late. The park is well manicured and taken care of. There are grassy areas, picnic tables and a water feature with ducks. Great for walking your dog or a picnic and there is also a playground for the kids. It's a little off the beaten path so it feels like a bit of a secret. I wish there was a park like this closer to where I am and I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

Be sure to bring water and enjoy the quick walk around the pond. Very easy accessibility for old dogs, like mine got to be at 17 years old, he lost his hearing, had cataracts but loved this park overall. The grounds are well kept with plenty of signs warning, no dogs in the pond. Just birds and lost turtles exist in there. There is stocking of fish and derby's to enter for children, where maybe you can catch a tagged fish, win a prize, if you follow activities. I spent years helping staff medical, communications and volunteers for Soccer Tournaments to be legal and full of volunteers. The 4th of July, there is a loud speaker, but last year, in the handicapped section, there was Mexican Music in competition with the speaker and music supplied. This was at the field near the Iverson Way, lower road parking, lots of handicapped parking but as I tried to show a man claiming parking was full. I pulled in anyway and he allowed me in. There were a lot of empty handicapped available, as they added many signs, last year.

We knew it was drizzling, but hadn't had a message that the party was called off, so we headed up to Templeton Park to meet up with the rest of the family. At first the park looked empty, then we spied a group gathered in the picturesque gazebo in the center of the park. We parked close and walked over to discover our far flung family gathered for a festive birthday. The gazebo! Of course! Great shelter from the rain and room for at least thirty people to mill around. The kids were lining up for pin the tail on Pikachu as we arrived, then they took turns battering a pinata till the candy cascaded to the cement. As the rain came and went, the kids could run in and out of the shelter while we grownups congregated on folding camp chairs or just stood around chatting. We welcomed the rain and were so happy we got to safely enjoy an outdoor event!

Apart of the Central Coast Dog Park Alliance, this is one of nine semi-private dog parks that request a daily $1 fee or $30 annual fee. You can pay online or in person and of course, it's on the honor system. So don't be a jerk. When we arrived on a Sunday afternoon the park was lively. A few labs and golden-mixes in the big dog section and three or four smaller pups in the small dog section. We appreciate the double gated entrance to prevent any escapes and all the signage reminding folks on the rules. While we keep potty bags on hand, we noticed the several maintained stations that offered these freely. It's clear this park is well taken care of by it's patrons and volunteers. Everyone there was pleasant, kind, and very in tune with their dogs. We appreciated the level of care and consideration everyone had with their dogs and their interactions. It made a slightly nervous mom a lot more relaxed. There was plenty of shade, trees to sniff, and toys and water bowls. Basically everything you could possibly need! While we were only there for about 10 minutes we will certainly be returning. It's also very nearby to the 46-West if you're on a wine adventure with your pup and need to give them a good break.
