They also have a gazebo picnic area available for reservations. Due to the homelessness issue in this community, the park has become an attraction for people to stay there full time. As a result, there is constantly trash left by the gazebo and around the grassy areas. Fairly certain that today I spotted a vial from a controlled substance immediately next to the younger kid playground. If you aren't carefully watching your kids, they will pick up trash & worse!

Our church really enjoyed renting the reserved area here! Lots of tables under the shade, huge…read moresanta maria-style bbq pit, and close to restrooms. It's one of the best parks in the city and that's confirmed by this being the spot when the city puts on concerts in the park here every summer. Plenty of grassy areas, a favorite of soccer, basketball, football, and baseball teams. Robin Ventura tee-ball field is a nice option too. The two playgrounds are a nice touch: one for the big kids, one for the little tikes. There is a gazebo that has electrical outlets, two restrooms, a very nice basketball court, a tee ball field (Robin Ventura Park), and lots of space to walk and relax. It's also the place for the annual Kite Festival. I'm so glad this is the nearest and nicest park around to me!

Tons of free parking? Yes. Can you serve alcohol? Yes but it's a hefty permit fee. Bummer. Beyond that this is a very cool park to host an event. We attended an event here that was catered by Far Western Tavern. The catering company did not miss a beat. They seemed familiar with the set up & "cooked" (likely finished cooking" the meat over the open flame. There was a long table available for placing additional accoutrements such as appetizers, plates, beverages & dessert. It is a "Park" at the end of the day but definitely a pretty cool one great for an open air event

Adding a wind barrier, wall, or some type of screening around the courts would make a huge difference. Other than that, it's a great place for pickleball.

The park was very clean and there were a lot of people coming and going in and out the park. They have a play structure for kids, large grassy areas and sitting area. Probably a lot more things as we didn't cover the whole park. There were animals like the owners with their dogs. There were restrooms. This was a very fancy park! A lot of socializing going on from groups hiking or taking walks to yoga and play dates! We luckily found a empty bench to sit on in the sun as it was pretty chilly. The dude and I had a lot fun here and it was a nice spot to eat our Cuban Valentines Day Special here. I would love to come back and explore more of the park. It was windy but relaxing overall we enjoyed our meal! Nice park! If in the area I highly recommend!

Local Serendipitous Take: Surprise, there is yet another attraction that kind of complements the…read moretrip to Surf Beach, which is Ocean Beach Park. For some reason, the little road that goes there called my name & I turned onto it. Low & behold, at the end of that road is this rather interesting Park, which even has a path under the railroad tracks. While you can have a nice walk on the beach at Surf Beach, during Snowy Plower nesting time you do not have beach access at Ocean Beach during Spring & Summer months....but all the more reason to savor what we have & come again. I am not sure where all the angst is coming from...or the vague pseudo-historical references, which I did try to confirm on Lompoc's Historical website. All they had, was a reference to a failed attempt at a development at a so-called "Aloha Beach", which predated anyone alive, & was more of a get rich scam in the pre-great-depression era, which was more centered at Surf Beach which used to have a grocery & even a post-office at one time. In any case, you have a nice estuary, a decent little playground, restrooms, little boardwalk with a bird observation area & even several BBQ's matched to solid picnic tables. It is more for locals, than for tourists. In fact, if you go out under the train tracks, you will then emerge on the oceanside & have a nice view. While the path to the ocean will be blocked certain months, you can always hike the sand toward Surf Beach parallel to the tracks & then get to the ocean...or simply drive there. Of course, since almost everywhere you look is owned or supervised by the military...it is after all our military & let them keep everyone safe, including the birds. I think according to the Lompoc's historical records, the military gradually accumulated close to 100K acres of land in the area. Most of it is still pristine & off limits to most. Between Ocean Park & Surf Beach, we felt we had a nice visit on the drive here, which is also quite nice for seeing all the wonderful farms. On the way back, I did turn down one of the many farm roads nearby to see if there were any random Farm Stands. Funny enough, we were then flagged down by another visiting car going the other way, who wanted directions to "The Flower Fields". They were a nice couple visiting their family up here for Mother's Day, but all I saw was some Lavender. Later, I looked it up, & indeed, Lompoc recommends that you cruise most of these farm roads in one's search for flower beds...which is kind of amusing.

Really beautiful park with a volleyball court, we had it all to ourselves and let dogs off the leash the entire time. A must-see but. take a bottle of wine! Also if you have kids they do have a regular children's playground as well.
