It's also a 15-minute walk to the base of the peak, if you're looking for a good area to get in a run/hike. Restaurants (Pita Pit, G Brothers, Chile Peppers, etc.) and Albertson's are nearby on Foothill, making this a great place to have an easy BBQ. Next time I'm looking to get a good run in, I'll be back.

I have personally been accosted simply walking through the park during the day. But the biggest concern is the safety and well-being of kids. Just yesterday, my wife and I brought our 6-year-old granddaughter there. I knew it could be problematic, but we had 20 minutes to kill and were right there. At one point, my wife took my granddaughter into the women's restroom. Earlier, I had seen a man enter and then leave it. Inside, there was a completely naked woman washing herself in the sink. When my wife and granddaughter walked out, they nearly walked into a zombie-like tweaker near the bathroom door. Very disturbing.

We took off our shoes at the entrance and put them in the cubby holes provided. Then we entered the fun zone. The bouncy houses were put to good use, and the kids had a blast. There was a huge relaxing massage chair for the older family members, and they made good use of it. We brought the food in, and had snacks for the kids as well as a custom birthday cake in the shape of the Mercat Gabby, evidently a kiddy favorite right now! The kids were well supervised and enjoyed being with each other, while the adults got to chat and enjoy the festivities.

I've come here a few times since it opened and each time I leave quicker than the time before. The…read moredesign of this park follows a common trend seen in a lot of post 2010 california skatepark; it's very pretty to look at and has a big "wow" factor but it's layout just isn't fun for the average skater. The street plaza has your typical linear flow but it really only works in the downhill direction. If you want to hit anything coming back the other way, you've gotta push like hell to have any speed. There's no basic flatbars or ledges under a foot tall where a new skater could learn new tricks. I just can't wrap my head around skatepark designers that don't bother to put in a small ledge and rail....these features would get used 20x more than any other feature in this park. Terrible oversight but it's what you see all over the place. The best park of the park is the middle bowl. It's actually designed to flow pretty well. The addition of the mini ramp in the shallow end is a bummer as always for anyone who actually likes to draw lines through the whole bowl. Unless it's empty you'll probably have someone doing rock to fakies in the mini so you can forget about carrying speed through the shallow end. The oververt wave is, again, pretty to look at and great for a newpaper covershot but purely a waste of resources. The big capsule bowl is BIG, really big. Again, great for pro demos or kids who are trying to qualify for the 2024 olympics but pretty much unskatable for 95% of people who use this park. It has been empty the whole time I've been here every time. The other tiny bowl in the back is just deadly. I know they were going for more of a backyard pool feel with this one but it just isn't fun. This is where they should've put a mini ramp/bowl for new skaters to learn on. My plea to all skatepark designers is this: do an actual study of who is going to come here from your local community, evalute the full range of skill levels and what types of skaters they are, then build the park for THEM! Don't build it to look good in an a Tribune article! Don't build it as an Olympic training facility! Build it to be enjoyed by the skaters in your community! Simple, right?

One of my favorite things about this park is that it is never too busy or packed, like most other dog parks in SLO county are. Usually when we go, we have the park all to ourselves!

This is the place people take their horrible dogs because they can't control them in public. It's too bad because my dog loves to play and go into the pool.
