Hubs and I found this community park while driving by on a Saturday afternoon. We paid the small fee, parked and took a walk throughout the winding trails. It was small, but so cute. And not crowded especially for a Saturday. We were pretty impressed with all the amenities. There are tons of places to BBQ, have group gatherings or just hang with your own family. We even found a small amphitheater! So cool. There are at least 2 baseball fields, a volleyball court, soccer field etc... We saw a strong park ranger presence as well. I like how this creates a safe environment. The bathrooms we went to were simple, yet clean and there are trees all throughout. It's such a perfect place to be for outside air, family time and small gatherings. read more

This park is a self pay park just like the Live Oak dog park across the way. It's the old fashion self pay, write the car info and place $3 fee in the envelope and place in the box at the ranger stand. You will find two of these rangers stand. One on the NW side and one on the east side. I've come to the park many times and only once was there a park ranger at the stand. You can also obtain annual pass at the ranger office. There are two baseball fields, an open field for soccer and a volleyball sandpit on one side. The other side you will find all the picnic areas along with the kids play area, a horseshoe pit, a small stage, a small amphitheater and basketball court. You can make reservations for large events at the rangers office (not at this time because of Covid19, large gathering are prohibited) You will also find kiosks that will share some history about Live Oak and information on nature that surrounds or is in the park. Its is shaded with many beautiful and large oak trees and some sycamores. Restrooms are available on both sides of the park. Recently, they improved the ramp to the park from the parking lot. Handicap accessible, ready. They also made a nice cement walkway, making it a much safer walk area. They also added a few more picnic tables and planted a number of new oak trees. I enjoy strolling this park, but I find my dogs seems to enjoy just as much. (There are 4 posts that provided disposal bags to clean up after your pet.) read more

This is a 27-acre picturesque park filled with live oaks, walking paths, benches, various picnic areas, BBQs, and a small stream. The oak trees are stunning and provide the most beautiful filtered light for taking photos! The shade provided by these majestic trees would also provide the perfect respite from the heat during the summer. There's also a great playground area (which was closed off due to covid-19), various sports fields, basketball courts, and a leash-free dog area which is open Thurs-Tues. The park has a cool amphitheater with fixed tiered seating, as well as adjacent picnic areas, rest rooms and a dance pavilion which provide a beautiful natural setting for weddings or other private events. There is a $3 per vehicle day-use fee, or you can get an annual pass for $25. We visited on a recent Sunday right before more Covid lockdowns. The lot was unmanned, playground area was closed off and the park was not at all crowded. We stopped to stroll around and check the park out on our way to Oceanside, but will definitely be back to spend more time here! Our grandkids would love this park when they come to visit. read more

Live Oak Park is primarily used for large group gatherings and sporting events. We came here because we were looking for a park in Fallbrook that had a kids playset. My kids had plenty of fun running around and exploring the stone canals that run through the park. There isn't much else here however. Kinda sucked having to pay $3 for this limited experience. Overall, it's a nice safe park. - The grounds were clean and well maintained - $3 self-pay parking - Make sure you bring singles because there's no change machine here. - Bathrooms are clean - Nice playset, but crowded with all the people here. read more

This park is beautiful. The Trees were' full grown and lots of shade. They even allowed our dogs, on a leash of course. We will be back. read more

Very nice and quiet park and very clean . I love this park and have been coming to this park many many years . Nice for families or to just walk around to clear your head . read more

This is a larger park with zones for use. It has a ballpark area, picnic area and barbeques. There is a smallish ampatheatre. There is an exercise area. There is what I'd consider a short, easy trail to walk your dog. There is a small botanical garden with signage and an explanatory mural. It is a clean park, a real gem. I am very glad we have this park. There is a restaurant across the street and an offleash, enclosed dog park nearby. This is a good morning destination between the parks and food. read more

This is the worst dog park that we have ever been to! The park is small and all dirt. Big and small dogs need to all share this small space and unfortunately there is a group of local people that frequent this park with large and somewhat aggressive dogs. I am sad that our wonderful little town of Fallbrook cannot offer anything better than this for our dog population. I recommend not to go here and make the drive to Temecula instead read more

Overall, a beautiful and well-maintained park. There's a large amount of space with several picnic tables and places to BBQ. Even a play structure for the kiddos. Perfect for families, parties, small events, or a relaxing stroll. The downside for me is the dog park. It was a bit difficult to find, but I was able to navigate there using the map located inside the park... FYI it's across the street and has its own parking lot. $3 cash parking BTW. It's fairly small and is not separated by small/big dogs. Mostly made up of dirt, nothing special. We were better off walking our dogs on leash in the main area of the park. read more

Very nice and family friendly park in Fallbrook .. it's kept up very nice always someone there on the grounds taking care of it

This park is a nice family picnic escape just half an hour drive north from the upper reaches of San Diego (Lake Hodges/I-15 junction). Unlike Escondido, Poway and inland San Diego which often bakes in summer, this park (in hilly foresty Fallbrook) is a cool oasis. The whole park is shaded with oak trees, the ground is covered with wood chips and represents a giant playground (don't wear your best shoes). On Labor Day weekend, there were many groups and families and everyone had benches and tables for their party. Yes, there are plenty of grilling spots. The play structures are of good size and bathrooms are very clean. Clean drinking water is available. the park is surrounded by a walking trail for a nice stroll. A storm drain on the southwest side had water flowing - my kids considered it as a little creek, I agree with them! FOUR TYPES OF PEOPLE COME HERE: 1. Families/groups talking and eating. 2. Bunch of people playing soccer in a small soccer field on north side. 3 Locals walking dogs 4. And, if you are lucky, Love Bird sightings in the area http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/2TQNCtIAFCfWOm9AcGh_eQ?select=mqiZ1S2pGmVhNzMGg6Ozhw ENTRY FEE: $3, self check-in, put in envelope at entry booth. OPEN: 8 AM - 7 PM LOCATION: It is NOT on Live Oak Road. It is at the junction of Reche Rd and Gird Rd (Gird continues into the park's main parking lot.) If you are on Live Oak Park Road, you have left the real Park behind (happened with me!)

Live Oak County Park - Lovely shade for family and friends picnics, ballgames, hikes, and general peaceful sunshine in sunny southern.California. - Parks Near Me - Fallbrook, California

My wife and I have lived in Fallbrook for nearly 7 years and unfortunately, we've never been to Live Oak Park...it took us having to move across the street to finally go here. But so well worth the wait! Not only did we go to the park, we rode our tandem bicycle into, around and through the park for nearly an hour...sure, the park was very busy but I don't blame them, it was the weekend of Cinco de Mayo! Even with all of the people in the park we were able to ride around. What's great about the terrain on a bike is there was a lot of elevation change...nothing too crazy but at points we had to switch gears. The park itself was very nice and shady! Even on a hot day the park was well shaded and had a nice cool breeze! LOP is great for the kids as well, since they had two different play areas but both next to each other...the restrooms and the park grounds are very clean! There are a lot areas to picnic and bbq. They have a basketball court, baseball/softball fields and areas to play soccer! But keep in mind there is a $3.00 cover for parking, try and have exact change. After writing this review, I think we're going to go for a tandem bike ride in the park! read more

Nice large park with barbecues and plenty of tables. Clean and well maintained. Check it out.

Pretty nice little park. Moderate sized, has playgrounds, BBQ grills, picnic tables, a little creek and a lot of trees. There's a very small dog park across the street. Pretty nice for the proximity to a number of urban environments. read more

Very picturesque old trees and stone creek bed with footbridges. Saw several different kinds of woodpeckers within a few minutes of parking. Special bonus points for clean restrooms! Shady with refreshing breeze. Enjoyed taking pictures and strolling around. Will return! Be sure to bring 3 single bills for parking. I visited on a Monday/Columbus Day and it was very uncrowded and peaceful. There isn't a lot of grass to sit on so bring a blanket and chairs. read more

*sigh* The park of my childhood. It's an old park covered in old oaks. It's not cool like a suburban park since Fallbrook is rather rural and hilly, so this park doesn't have the luxury of being necessarily flat or all the cool modern amenities. But, there really cool nooks and crannies where you can just camp out to spend the day under the trees (among other things, but you didn't hear that from me). Given all the trees, it's great for pinatas. Mind you, this park gets hopping too on major holidays so parking can be a bitch. *sigh* read more

Beautiful Fallbrook with a nice kids playground and soccer field to kick the soccer ball around! I like to walk through the botanical native garden and look up at the giant oak trees. Nothing says Fallbrook like this park' read more

Very beautiful park! The landscape is one of a kind. It almost makes you feel like you're in Northern California. I noticed that a lot of schools come down here for field trips. This is a reason why you need to be aware of falling tree branches. I saw a little girl from a school have a tree branch fall on her. Thankfully it looked like she was okay. They also have basketball courts here to play around with some friends. read more

this place was super cool and totally fun for the family when you come. I would totally recommend that you wear shoes when you come here because the whole place is covered in woodchips, so it's also not a good idea to let your children to really kind of wander around unsupervised. small playground and nice swings, horseshoes avaliable to play. nice, outside, and open area. also it's cool to look around and try to find acorn seeds on the ground and take them home to try to grow them. cool fun science experiment. basically, one thing got me about this park, and when I say "got me" I mean, got me!!! Be careful because I guess I had stepped on a small little stick and it went through my sandal. when I went to chase after my friends daughter, the stick poked me and I was bleeding on my foot. I know it's kinda my fault because I wore sandals, but SERIOUSLY....who the heck covers the whole park in woodchips. also, $2 parking fee. read more

Great county park! Clean and well maintained. Restrooms are clean. Play area is great. Had easter bbq with family here and it was perfect. Kids loved the egg hunt and the grass was perfect size to hide the eggs. Small creek runs through the park too. read more

Live Oak County Park - Chilling under the oak trees. - Parks Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Nice dog park. I posted several pics. Pretty large area, although there isn't a separate area for small/big dogs. Even with the one large yard, its well kept and the mulch is a nice alternative to sand/dirt which gets so messy. Ive been twice now. First time there, there were very friendly dogs there and wasn't too busy. Second time, there was also only a few dogs but one of them was really loud and kept barking at all the other ones. She wasn't really aggressive, but I believe it caused at least two dogs and their owners to leave because their dogs just didn't like being harassed by the loud barker. I think this could be remedied with a bark collar or citronella collar and than everyone would enjoy it more. Park ranger came by shortly after people left and I believe one of those people may have tipped the ranger off that there was a "nuisance" dog at the park. So sad. She was really sweet but she did make the other dogs nervous. If you have one of these types, be considerate of the other dogs. I have a fear aggressive dog but I left him in the car while I played with my shy guy. Once the park was empty I brought my other one in and my two kids enjoyed their time. The first time I visited there was a super nice lady with 2 shepherds who offered to leash them for a bit so both of mine could play. The socialization was great for them, and all four ended up playing for a bit. Overall, good experiences. Love that is so close and well kept. Will just make sure to be considerate of how many dogs are there and getting to know my neighbors. This will be a weekly visit for sure. read more

This park is a beautiful representation of Fallbrook. First off, it's a historical site on which local Indian populations often settled to gather and grind acorns- you can find various boulders covered in indentations created by their use as a mortar. Later the park was settled in by some of the first people to inhabit the inland North County area (the Reche family) back in the early 1800's (I believe.) The trees are beautiful and very old, some are covered in thousands of holes created by woodpeckers for winter storage of acorns. Live Oak Park is quite the hot spot on weekends and holidays, but if you don't mind a multilingual chorus of 'Happy Birthday' and lots of people, it's still rather pleasant. Great place to walk your dogs or children- just be sure to keep them on a leash (dogs, not children... unless your child has a habit of pooping on the grass, in which case a leash would be advisable), the rangers are tyrants. During the non-summer months a little creek runs through the property which attracts ducks. All-in-all by far the best park in Fallbrook, perhaps all of North County. read more
