It is cleaned on a regular basis- I saw the truck and there's a cleaning log inside the stall! There's also one basketball court.

Not a complete sports park. For some reason, I thought it had basketball courts (the main reason hubby and I came). I hadn't really noticed before that it had only the 3 sports fields. If you have kids, it has playgrounds for 2 age groups, 2-4 and 5-12. The parking lot is big. There's a small green space for picnicking. It's a nice park. Just a bummer that it doesn't have at least one basketball hoop.

I could just see my kids getting bored...and then saying..."Are we going home? I'm bored!". Well, Rancho Del Oro solved that problem...how?! Let me tell you! They have a nice area cornered off for kids! No really, it's true! It's right by the tennis courts. So, parents, take note...get there early, and set up right before the ground slopes downward. Kids can play and be within sight at all times. A group of hula hoop dancers brought out tons of hula hoops after their performance for the kids to play with. There were gymnastic mats too. I really couldn't believe how content my kids were. Two opening acts, and the the main act came out. The Mar Dels were the big performers tonight. I've wanted to see them forever...and they didn't disappoint. Tons of cover songs from the 1950-1970's, and a nice sized danced floor right infront of the stage. People were thoroughly enjoying their Friday night....and was this girl! My kids played while my friend and I ate pizza, brownies, and drank beer. Family friendly, dog friendly, great venue...I'll be back!

There isn't too much shade except for a few trees here and there. There's a nice breeze when you run since its on top of a hill. There are no water fountains so be sure to bring water. The park is dog friendly but they do not supply doggie bags for easy pet cleanup. The park is pretty clean and the times I've gone it hasn't been busy. The neighborhood is pretty safe. The park is located behind McAuliffe Elementary School and is accessible off of Rancho Del Oro. There is a small parking lot for maybe 6 cars or so but you could also park in the street. There are no bathrooms on site so be sure to use the potty before arriving.

This lovely park is not so close to where we live now, in Fallbrook, but it's not too far from…read morewhere my younger son attends school, at a Charter in Oceanside. Since we are already making the big commute every day, we usually put the bike rack on the car and bring our bikes (we also change it up and bring scooters or the hoverboard, sometimes we will look for a park that has tennis courts and bring the racquets or a basketball/football/soccer ball to get out of the house, so we are almost never at the same park twice in a row. In fact, we look for new parks that we have never been to before to get some new scenery in or just to check it out so we know which ones are good for certain activities and which ones we should probably avoid! This makes reviewing each of them on Yelp! an easily referenced tool when looking to head out with specific items. It's usually quiet when we head out to most parks, but the ones in Carlsbad and San Marcos/Vista tend to be much larger than what we can find in Fallbrook and Oceanside, so after school park trips are usually spent either close to school or completely out of the way (since we've got to make the long drive home anyway, might as well get a little energy run off before heading home for dinner and homework! This was a pleasant surprise, because I'd called it when we first came here and said that it was in a bad spot. However, I think I might have either been thinking of a different park altogether (it happens when the signs all look the same and the general layout is similar!) or they updated this very recently. I don't remember coming here at all until just recently. The blue painted benches are clean and always seem so much more comfortable than they appear to be, they're metal, but I think they coat them with something that makes them less prone to burn in the heat. Whatever it is, the benches are great if you're not engaged in playing (but seriously, at least watch your kiddos and don't stare at your phone the entire time, it's really a beautiful little space and the playground is even labeled (I'm not sure if this is a thing for every Oceanside park; but they do all seem to have the age theme down). Yes, there's dog walking here. That's usually a big "nope" for me on the Yelp!-o-meter. However, they've placed doggie bags in those upright containers that dispense from the bottom, so there's no excuse for mommas and poppas of my furry friends to neglect to pick up after their babies! That's likely strategic placement the planners had in mind when they started to develop this little spot into a park. I give them credit for the stars that this beautiful park merits. Just taking the one star back because there is dog walking, and I'm really wondering where the non-dog walking parks in Oceanside are, because I see them everywhere, and the bags get pulled out by kids and thrown everywhere while others don't seem to see them after their pup makes a poo, leaving future parkcomers to wait it out until it either rains or nature reclaims the mess for itself. I'm really digging this park though- doggies and all, so if it remains free from feces, I may have to come back and change my review sometime in the future. :)
