Loved this little hiding spot. It's a cute little park. My dog and boyfriend could have stayed for literal hours!!! I loved that there was beach access too. Pretty awesome. I would love to go back for a picnic or just some relaxation! Compared to Central Valley heat, it's a real nice get away in the summer! Definitely recommend this park for families, couples, everyone! read more

I parked in the lot and noticed there was disability parking available. I was able to walk to the edge of the cliff for views. - There was a large grass area, featuring a playground, unofficial walkways through Flora, and views of the tide pools below. - I was unable to figure out how to get all the way down to the beach. However, it was a rainy, chilly day, and I definitely intend to go back. read more

Spyglass is a nice park with plenty of grass for kids and dogs to run around, picnic tables, a playground, and a beautiful view of the ocean. At one end of the park is a short walk down to the tide pools. However, people are not wearing masks so if you are planning to come during the pandemic, be prepared. read more

Pretty awesome park for families, kids and pets. There's bathrooms plenty of grass, picnic benches and some old girls. Love that there's a small playground for the littles too and one for older kiddos. Plenty of parking and bike parking too. P.s if you're near the edge and keep walking there's a trail that leads to the water. Kind of steep but was doable with a 3 and 6 year old. read more

I love this little park. It feels like a mini escape from reality every time we take our kids there.

One of a kind views. Small park amidst a touristy town. Not crowded. Not fancy. But stll fun for the toddlers and small children. It's been newly remodeled. Ocean breezes. Priceless. read more

We literally stumbled across this place, entirely by accident. It's very difficult to spot; you go down to the water on a small trail which starts out as what appears to be a residential driveway in a fairly well-populated area. The beach and the sand on it aren't the most pristine, but what's lacking in that department is more than made up for by how isolated you'll feel once you arrive at the water. To get there, you'll go past the grassy fields, the playground, and the bathroom area. Once you're on the beach you might see a few hardy surfers who sometimes strike out from the beach here, but apart from that you'll probably be accompanied only by what (and who) you bring with you. Totally worth seeking this place out if you're in the area! read more

Recently checked out the updated playground and was delightfully surprised. Based on past reviews I was really worried that our 22month old boy would either run himself off a cliff or be hit by a car dangerously flying through a blind curve. If you're a parent of a toddler, fear not. The parking lot is off the road and mostly pretty safe. There's one gate that isn't effective for kids, just blocks cars, that your little one could run under and into the parking lot, but visibility is good enough that you could see them before they got that far. The cliff edges are also decently far from the playground that you should be able to notice they are on the run well before they get there. The new play structure is nice. Lots of ropes for climbing, one spinning structure, a smaller toddler structure, and toddler swings, no big kid swings. And a small sand area. The bunnies in the bushes seemed to steal the show. I only give it 4 stars bc it's still on the small side, no big swings, limited climbing options for toddlers and limited parking. read more

Love this little neighborhood park if for no other reason than every single dog that came and played here today was happily off leash! Yeah! And then there's the ocean, grass, water fountain, rinse shower & a water bowl for the dogs, BBQs, a clean stocked bathroom, and access for all the surfers who began trotting in around 4:00. A lovely locals "pocket park" and everyone was very nice to this vanabonding bum hanging out. read more

Adorable little park right on the ocean!!! My boys and I are visiting my sister and brother inlaw in Grover Beach, but the boys wanted a little adventure. We stopped here on our way home from Morro Bay and the kids and such a fun time. It is the perfect thing to do after lunch to burn the energy and get the kids relaxed. The view is beautiful. The ocean is so beautiful here and nothing blocks the view. The park is set up towards small kids but my 11 year old had fun with his 6 year ago brother and baby cousin. We watched surfers and people flying toy airplanes. It was so relaxing and enjoyable. I didn't mind hanging out here and letting the kids play. The parking lot is plenty big and easy to get in and out of. I didn't see any lights around so get here before dark. read more

Spyglass park is a bit hidden. It appears to be simply a driveway in a dense apartment / condo packed neighborhood. Now if you turn in the drive, you find a small parking lot and a park / lawn that extends to the cliff overlooking the ocean with an exquisite panorama! WOW! This is my kind of park to watch the sunset, or the waves, or simply bathe in the beauty of the area! I love these small parks! read more

Spyglass Park - Parks Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

A lovey little park with beautiful views of the ocean and California cost, Spyglass park is a great place to relax and drink in the ocean air. Also, the playground is fun. (I might have tried out the tire swing when no one else was around...) The beach at the base of the park is SLO's best kept secret. Check the tide schedule before going though because the beach might not be there depending on the time of day. If you plan on going to this secluded beach, wear tennis shoes. You need to hike down a steep hill next to a storm pipe to get to the ocean and then climb over rocks to get to the beach. If you keep walking down the beach and climbing over rocks when necessary, you will eventually arrive to a few sea caves. Go to the beach at your own risk, but if you go there safely, it's quite a fun adventure! read more

Spyglass Park - Fun play ground right by the ocean ! - Parks Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

WARNING! You do not want to surf there. The locals and super mean and territorial. It's also a known shark attack break not to mention all the pointy rocks just under the surface waiting to smash your board. Head down to Pismo beach for a much nicer surf experience. Kook. read more

Nice park. Clean play ground, good views of the ocean. Wondered if it was a place local surfers liked because we saw a few coming and going. read more

I actually stumbled upon this place by accident, while looking for a place to nap after driving several hours. Anyhow, it really is hidden and the best part is beyond and below the playground, bathroom, and grassy fields. You go down a small trail and you eventually get to the water. I can't say the sand and the beach is super nice, but it is isolated and quite scenic. A few intrepid surfers make their way outbound from here, but other than that, it's quiet and relaxing. The views really are spectacular from near the water or on top... The people in the condos/houses nearby are a lucky bunch. Truly a place to enjoy. read more

We fell in love with this little spot after dinner at the Spyglass just down the road. We timed it perfectly to be able to enjoy the sunset while listening to the children play on the playground. Really great find for overlooking the beautiful central coast at sunset! read more

The playground equipment is fun, but rusting. The view is amazing... but there were a lot of people with large amounts of alcohol, and dogs off leashes (which are both illegal)- so a beautiful place, but perhaps not the most kid-friendly. read more

I really like this park where my child thoroughly enjoyed the playground even though it's a bit small. You can take some really nice photos of your petite one playing here with the ocean in the background, a quintessential California shot for his or her photo album - and don't forget a shot of the little one sitting in the (of course) playground dune buggy. The only thing is (and I noticed this about the other park I've been to so far in this general area) - the drop to the beach/water is only marked with fence posts joined by a single chain, not a fence actually protecting anyone from dropping off the cliff. So when I went to take a close view of the ocean scenery with my child, I had to have a death grip on her. A drawback, but luckily the drop is a good distance from the playground. And consider the type of person who lives in this exclusive part of San Luis Obispo County. We met a child with an actual British nanny. Obviously, you gotta come to this park. Oh, it has restrooms, picnic tables, a wide section of lawn, and beach access (we didn't look at that closely) and it's obviously a popular place for people to walk their dogs. read more
