Road tripping and decided to check out the town of Templeton, CA. It's a small town next to the…read moreCity of Paso Robles. The Templeton Park is a 3.5 acre park a block away from South Main Street. The park looks to be well maintained and clean. It has big canopy shade trees, green lawns, children's play area, swimming pool, gazebo, group picnic areas with Santa Ana bbq grills, and public restrooms. There are paved walking paths. Great for a walk about. I saw lots of folks seizing the moment and enjoying a blissful summer day. The park hosts community events... farmers market on Saturdays 9am-12pm and summer music concerts to name a few.

Templeton…read morePark proved once again that it is the perfect place for a family event on a recent cold and rainy Saturday. 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!

Towards the north side was a play area and green lawn for picnicking. That is where I pulled into that parking lot to park.

There's a large area to walk around, and you're even able to feed the ducks, which my daughter absolutely loved. She had so much fun on the jungle gyms, slides, and all the playground features available. If you're visiting the Central Coast Zoo, I highly recommend taking the kids to the park afterward to burn off some energy. You can easily make it a full day--visit the zoo, head to the park, feed the ducks, and just immerse yourself in nature. It was a beautiful day and hands down the perfect after-zoo activity. Next time, I'll definitely remember to bring snacks!

Well laid out, well thought out. Congratulations Paso Robles for creating a really fun, kid…read morefriendly park! First of all, the equipment is colorful. I am talking bright orange and lime green colors. And it is all in great condition. Secondly, it inspires creativity. It is not just jungle gyms and swing sets. There are zones for music (bongo drums, an unusual keyboard for playing), sand play (multi level surfaces with containers of clean, moist sand), places to crawl, jump, climb, swing, and best of all, surfaces that surround the equipment that are safely bouncy (rubberized). Not only are they easy on both little and big feet, but also perfect for those unexpected little spills and tumbles that usually end up with boo boos, splinters, scrapes, and tears. A lot less of that here. Then, there is the little amphitheater behind the large, well maintained bathroom building. They must be some rocking, good entertainment there sometimes. The grasses and shrubs are kid friendly too. I saw small children bending over to see a discovery, probably a lizard or something, that called the tall grasses around the perimeter of the park his home. There are also adult friendly benches and picnic tables. Definitely a great place to bring the little ones.

I was here for the Tamale Festival, which was a huge hit. The roads were closed off on either side making for a great walking vendor section without trampling on the grass. The city did a great job providing plenty of cops and visible security, maintain clear and safe walkways, lots of garbage cans, and plenty to do and see. Right in front of the court house there was a mariachi band, Mexican dancing, dancing horses, a ton of stuff. Face painting, lots and lots of local vendors, no one ran out of food, and the weather held off perfectly. I hope the city does more events like this here as the spot is in an ideal location and offers up lots of flexibility for how things are laid out.
