Plenty of play structures including an old fashioned merry go round (these used to make me sick when I was a kid!) I would say little kids would really enjoy as the park beckons them to come have some a good time. Huge trees provide an abundant amount of shade which is nice during the summer. The neighborhood feels safe so I imagine many families that live in the area let their kids play here. Parking on the street only so you may want to walk over instead.

The definite downside is the fact that at times it's virtually overrun with homeless people; the fact that there's a liquor store only steps away probably doesn't help with that :-( That downside not withstanding, there's a nice playground here for the kids, so come and enjoy and you'll almost certain to think your time was well spent!

We then immediately understood why - a lot of homeless people sleeping on the grass nearby, random people sitting on benches and a guy filling a plastic bottle from a water fountain and drinking from it, in between dancing in a tweaked out state and rifling through a trash can. It is sad because the play structure is a good size and there is a lot of green space nearby.

A lovely neighborhood park with amazing views of the ocean! The park was clean and well maintained - they offered bathrooms as well! Swings, slides, spiny rides - you name it. Our daughter had a blast! After our daughter enjoyed the park, we walked around the trails and took so photos of the flowers and ocean views. Why is it called Dinosaur Caves Park? Apparently per the information area, there used to be a massive dinosaur statue that was eventually taken away - caves? I did see a cave or 2 when we were checking out the ocean views. Overall, I think Dinosaur Caves Park is a great place to get out and stretch your legs - it's especially nice to let the kiddos get some energy out before heading back to your roadtrip!

A surprisingly large neighborhood park hidden away in the Arbors near Marigold Shopping Center…read more The play structure is off limits right now and people need to practice Social Distancing to avoid spreading the Corona VIrus, but this was a bright happy active place on Saturday afternoon. The park has an uphill slope, with a baseball diamond on the lower field surrounding it. If you go up the hill, there are a play structure, a tennis court, and restrooms. No one was on the play structure, which had a warning sign and was closed. There is also a fairly large area to BBQ and have a picnic. People were leaving space for others, and enjoying the beautiful sunny atmosphere in this hidden green gem of a park.

Laguna Lake Park has a lot to offer and with the newly upgraded dog park, I had to come visit and…read morewrite an updated review. Overall, was a bit disappointed with the upgrades they'd done to the dog park. It is fully fenced and has completely separate small vs large dog parks which is good. But for the amount spent, I was expecting there to be a much larger grass areas and generally a bit larger of a park for the large dogs. The grass area in the large dog park is in the middle and the majority of the park is actually bark and small rocks, which isn't great for the pups' paws. There are benches throughout and water stations for the dogs which was good to see. They've added some obstacle courses for dogs to play on, which was fun. However, I strongly disliked that I saw folks come in to bring their kids to the dog areas and obstacles like it was a kids playground (which clearly it is not). Generally, from what I have seen thus far, most dog owners are friendly and self aware of their dogs' behaviors which is always great to see. Nice upgrades overall just was expecting a bit more but that's okay. Still a great place to take a walk and enjoy the lake views or go to the dog park!

They really enjoyed the park play equipment as it was all new equipment to them. Seeing it through their eyes they went from one choice to another and loved it. The park is spotless and the equipment appears as good as new. The color theme is green which is a SLO City theme. It's very calming and I'm glad it isn't bright gaudy colors. We had a great time and will come back. We came on a weekday and it was not crowded. Just a good amount of people taking turns on things so everyone could play.

Entrance is I believe $10 per adult and kids, and toddlers under 2 are free! The museum is 3 stories. First story is geared more towards sciency and architectural exhibits. There was lots of space for my toddler to explore and walk around. The second story was our favorite. It was a whole make believe little city with its own version of the "gum wall alley". My toddler loved the make believe restaurant and kitchen. There was plenty of space for all the toddlers and kids to play around, along with the adults. The third story was a smaller room, but also fun with more toys and trinkets. There was also an outdoor space for snack time and taking break, and what looked like a big water table with a big rubber duckie! Overall, such a fun experience, and a great way to burn off your toddler's energy. We spent around 1.5 hours in the museum. We can't wait to go back again and to see how different my toddler will be then since he is still learning and growing.
