Since Spring has arrived, gardeners are busy planting and toiling in the soil at SLO's community…read moregardens to grow produce & flowers, and other ornamental plants. In June 2010, three Rotary Clubs of SLO unveiled the Rotary Community Garden at Meadow Park. This community garden contains 40 plots. It is located at the west end of Meadow Park with the nearest access on South Street.  There are now five community gardens sites with over 100 plots available to city residents for a nominal annual fee. Residents can lease garden plots on a first-come, first-served basis. If one is interested in more information, contact the City of SLO Community Gardens Coordinator. Enjoy a stroll through the Rotary Community Garden. Please do not pick anything as plots are maintained by individual gardeners.

This is my dogs' favorite dog park!…read more It's a spacious area, more grass than dirt (sometimes gets muddy in the corner by the street), some shaded areas, lots of trees, and bigger dogs are not separated from smaller dogs because it is just one area. There are also a couple of dog exercise course scattered across the dog park. Recently, new benches were added as well as a sidewalk to make it more easily accessible. The dog fountain doesn't always work, but there are regular fountains at the bathroom if you have a container. I would bring one just in case. The dog park is just a small section of the whole park so you can also take your dogs out in the open field.

I took my doggo here while visiting family in Fresno. It's a smaller park but gets the job done…read more Has lots of grass. Bring your own water as the water fountain doesn't work. They have a small agility course and a large tree for shade. Of course my dog went straight for the large muddy puddle. Wishing that wasn't there. But other than that my dog had a great time! There was only one other dog there on a weekday around 3-4 pm. Then some more small dogs came right when we're leaving. The dog park is kind of hidden in the corner by the big playing fields.

We met family from Sacramento here today, we're from Bakersfield. We have never been here before…read more It was a great deal at $3/person, since it's the 1st sat of the month. We spent about 3 or so hours playing & exploring. It's really meant for younger ages,probably up until about 10-11. My son is going to be 11 next week & loved it because he loves dinosaurs, digging & science. Not sure i would go out of my way to go back, only because we don't live locally but if we lived in fresno I would consider getting a membership. They have a lot of great programs throughout the week which would be great for school field trips or homeschooling co-ops.

Awesome place for the kids to learn and run around. Was looking for a place for the kiddos to play…read moreand I came across this. Came here once for my nephews birthday and haven't been back since, so it's been a while and I kind of forgot this place exists. You can get your tickets online, I happen to check at the right time because their prices and affordable on every first Saturdays of the month! The lady working was super friendly and helpful, she even told me they do music classes and that the kids are more than welcome to join. Around 11am they have a person doing a science presentation but unfortunately she was running late on her project and I overheard her being kind of rude and not in a good mood so we decided to move on to the next room. They were also selling boba and eggrolls outside, sorry I forget the name of the seller that had their booth there. The kids enjoyed the front area where they can dress up, draw and play with toys. There was also someone selling their 3D printed animals, which the kids loved so I caved and bought them all one plus help support small businesses. Overall it was a nice experience for the kids to enjoy.

Super simple !!! They also have food giveaways every Saturday at 1 pm. Hurry !! The line gets pretty long, and the stuff is pretty good too! From milk to eggs and bread.

Once upon a time, Barker Park has a beautifully maintained Rose Garden. Being that Wasco was the…read moreunofficial Rose Capital, it made sense to have this garden. Over time, roses became less and less. Jackson & Perkins sold out and the roses gave way to more profitable crops such as almonds and pistachios. The Rose Garden eventually was replaced with turf and all evidence of this historic garden gone.

Stopped by this Cactus Garden at dusk in early spring. Since it was after hours, we parked at a…read moreparking lot within steps of the garden. California has had lots of rain this past winter, so the garden was beautiful, in all it's 'prickly' glory. Lovely to see flowering cactus. Cal Poly is a beautiful campus and the gardener on staff is doing a fantastic job! This is an open campus, so the public are welcome to visit. I believe this is on California street, not too far past the Stadium. Definitely worth a stop. http://polyland.calpoly.edu/topics/florafauna/studentsites/2005a/Business%20Gardens/CAgarden.htm

There are lots of green areas to enjoy a picnic or bring your dogs along for a walk and some catch. This place is very, very dog friendly which is always nice! Visited in February so the pools were all closed but they are open during the summer (bummer), but they have a lot going on. There also have a large barbecue area, basketball, tennis and pickleball courts, and even a community garden! Lovely spot to go for a walk with your dog or enjoy an outdoor game of tennis, pickleball, etc.
