The playground has that wonderful jumpy, foamy floor it was clean and in great shape. I can tell the place wasn't being used as much, as there was very little wear on the ground.

Walk up the hill behind the playground and it's breathtaking. The playground is right up on Wadsworth next to Judkins middle school. My 1 year old enjoyed tugging on the seesaw and going down the winding slide. If you are down in downtown Pismo and need to kill a few minutes with a toddler bring them here, they will enjoy it.

I really had a blast checking out all the decor and elements at this park! It fits right into Solvang's Danish theme! By the way, Solvang translates to "Sunny Field(s)". If you are in downtown, it would be better to drive to this park. It's not in the main touristy area of Solvang. We drove out to the park since it's about 3 miles away. There is free parking, playground, picnic areas, sports fields, walking path, & restrooms. This park is unique! I planned to come see it for myself when I came to Solvang on Jan. 17, 2026. Every aspect from the entrance sign to the playground is filled with Danish decor! I was intrigued with the mosaic clock tower out front and the embedded elements in the walkway. The playground is awesome! You walk through the windmill to the slightly raised decking. I checked out the neat painted wood panels, each with cutouts for your face or body. Photo Op time! There's a castle with towers, slides, tire swings and regular swings, rubber rope to walk across, rock climbing wall, monkey bars, rings, and more! More specific Danish themed items at this park are a Gingerbread House, Puppet Theater and Viking Ship. They're so cool! There's also a Tot Lot for 2-5 year olds and adult supervision is required. The play houses and a wagon for climbing are in this area. It also has spring ride-on animals and 3 baby swings. There's a picnic shelter with a Santa Maria style grill. It's perfect for grilling lots of food for a large group! The restrooms are just beyond this picnic shelter. They are each accessed by their own door. I prefer this style rather than the multi-stall restroom. Whether or not you are a kid, kid at heart, have kids, or have kids with kids... come check it out! I think you'll be happy you did!

BEWARE of a multitude of STINGING NETTLE-like toxic plants, minus warning signs, in the "hidden"…read moreChumash Historic area by AG creek. [Result: Horrid pain in my hands! OMG!!!] The park would have been an easy 3-4 star, but had to downgraded to 2 star, since there are NO WARNING SIGNS, while other parks [Chumash Park in Pismo] have ample signs to warn of these dangers. While adults can be careful, kids and dogs, would likely not realize the danger of the tri-leafed needled branches over-hanging a tempting scenic path to the serene babbling brook. In this little visited back area of this "pleasant park", it was amazingly peaceful, relaxing, serene, verdant & pleasant, until I foolishly decided to check out the Arroyo Grande Creek, for signs of aquatic life. I hoped to get a bottle of creek water & mud to explore for Protozoa, Rotifiers, Nematodes, etc., with my "new" lab grade vintage Microscope. The short path to the creek was covered with some leaves. Whoops!! While in the process of falling, in front of my eyes, there appeared to be a rather large branch to grab. It also appeared to be "hairy"& my brain made a rapid calculation of the risks vs. benefits of such a grab. My brain miscalculated, since it was too fast for my higher cognitive functions to properly evaluate. Should I risk grabbing a solid looking branch that looked suspiciously "hairy", but may break my fall? It did not slow my fall, since it was a vine that moved freely. I immediately regretted grabbing it since I could feel 100's of tiny needles puncture my fingers & hands. As I scampered up, I had immediate severe searing pain. I immediately called for my wife's help and even thought of going to the ER. We walked over to a bench, where we tried to pick off many dozens of these super-fine hair-like broken off needles [which I later found out to be called Trichomes per Wikipedia { https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichome }]. While this likely helped limit the severity, the pain became more intense, as the toxins injected themselves. Even with hours of Internet searching on the amazing plethora of various toxic or needle plants, complete with both my pics and internet pics, I am still not sure what this plant was. Trichomes are amazingly intricate plant defenses that reappear in diverse species all over the world. They function as micro-hypodermic needles that are designed by evolution to discourage foraging by animals or humans, and are highly effective, since no creature will ever forget an encounter. The Trichomes are complex systems & the needles are reinforced with glass or bone-like substances. The are not only designed to penetrate the skin, but are also designed to inject various toxins, while breaking off too! The real problem is there is a wide range of either known or poorly classified toxins/irritants in the fluid [in nano-liters], which not only immediately evoke severe pain, but persist for hours to even months! The fluid can include a range of substances that can include acids, Neurotoxins, & even anti-Cancer compounds! Treatment is perplexing, even after a consult with a pharmacist. She recommended a topical anti-histamine & steroid. Neither helped much. Other sources recommend washing, assuming a topical exposure to the irritant [e.g. Urushiol] like those in Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac, which is not the case with Trichome injuries, which are injected/embedded toxins. As a kid, I did have one painful unforgettable run-in with a Stinging Nettle type plant on my cousin's farm in Leighton, PA. In those days, there was no Urgent Care! Anyway, after tons of pain, steroid, & antihistmine Rx, the situation improved. There was no visible rash, but various pains, itching, & even neuropathy lasted a few days! In any case, BEWARE of the many plants of that line this Creek's bank. Nettles have been used throughout history ranging from food to medicine. Some compounds are effective against some cancers! Ref.: https://wildflowerfinder.org.uk/Flowers/N/Nettle(Stinging)/Nettle(Stinging).htm : "...It is claimed by some texts that the bicyclic octapeptide moroidin is also found in nettle stings, and that it is this compound that is responsible for most of the pain and redness of nettle rash. It was first discovered in the trichomes of Laportea moroides (hence the name), otherwise known as the Gympie Bush, with which contact is a far more terrifying ordeal than is Stinging Nettle, for the painful rash can last for months, or even forever, and there is no cure. Moroidin has anti-mitotic activity because it strongly inhibits the polymerization of tubulin, meaning it interferes with cell division."

The omission of trees was done per guidance from the Coastal Comminssion to protect the wetlands. Being from the Central Valley, the weather is much hotter and a park without trees is unimaginable. But the lack of trees at Cloisters Park didn't make my visit less enjoyable.

The grounds are well kept with plenty of signs warning, no dogs in the pond. Just birds and lost turtles exist in there.
