If you want a super short incline, you can take the dirt stairs up next to the elementary school. The playground is well-maintained. I love the memorial structure to go sit down if it's a hot day. During the summertime, there's a tradition of "Music in the Park" Summer Sundays. You can bring your lawn chairs and coolers enjoying live music.

They have so much going on that you honestly can't see in a day, even if you try. I was there for a good 3.5 hours and still didn't get to see everything. I packed myself two sandwiches and bottled water, and decided to go and be in the arms of nature. I am so glad that I did. It was AMAZING in every way. Flowers blossom year round, but is more beautiful during Spring time. There is so much to see and every corner is peaceful, beautiful, and relaxing. Love it! Did like 15 minutes of hiking, before it was time to eat. This garden was established back in 1953. They have trails, benches, a gift shop, and a restaurant. Since I had my own lunch, didn't need to eat at their eatery. They also have a snack shop near the entrance that sells snacks/beverages. Admission is $18.00 for adults. Not sure for kids and seniors. Didn't buy anything from anywhere. Ate my own lunch and drank my water. The landscape is huge and the meadows were kept well maintained. If you do a lot of walking, then you need to chill for at least 15 minutes, recharge your own batteries and start moving again. It was a nice way to clear my head. From where I was standing, I saw this cute, small house decorated with lots of pumpkins. Some of the gardens that they have are: a Rose garden, Japanese garden, huge section for festival camellias, native oak trees (that's always beautiful to look at). They also have indoor and outdoor venues that you can hold events such as weddings, meetings, and corporate events. It was a nice way to start my day. I highly recommend Descaneso Gardens to anyone who loves zen, nature tranquility and more. Great place to go on a date, solo, with family and friends. Plenty of parking spaces free of charge!

Everything was cute, festive, and family-friendly, especially for kids. There are plenty of fun spots to take pictures and enjoy the Halloween decorations. We were able to see everything in about an hour and a half. The experience is on the smaller side, and you can see the map in my photos to get an idea of the layout. I paid $29 per ticket on a Tuesday, which felt reasonable. However, weekend tickets are around $50, and personally, I think that's a little too expensive for the size of the experience and what you get to see. Overall, it's a cute Halloween activity for families with kids, especially if you enjoy taking pictures and getting into the Halloween spirit!

The landscape is punctuated with native and drought tolerant plants that attract butterflies and birds. The park features an exploratory water feature/ fountain with whimsical aquatic ceramic designs, a sand pit with a sunken track that must be dug out daily perfect for toy trucks. There is also a nice flat lawn and a series of turfed berms- perfect for going "up and over" over and over and over again. Though there are signs telling the public not to get in the water- in the decade that we have been going here I have never once seen it enforced- or obeyed.. as most toddlers can't read. The lawn is not "quite large enough for soccer games, so you don't run the threat of having your toddler get hit by a errant ball or run down by over excited players Things to bring: Swim suit towels picnic blanket sand toys Don't bring your dog.

It was nice to see children off screens, playing and happy, and families barbequing and picnicking. There are some large trees that offer shade, and a couple picnic benches.

Its privately tucked away and typically not crowded at all.
