    I came here for a Blues baseball game and had a good time. Entry was free and there were plenty of food and drink options for sale. They have quite a few permanent seats and a good lawn area if you bring your own chair or blanket.

    The Disneyland of local parks, we got the family together for a socially distanced before-Thanksgiving pizza party. We had scouted out the location earlier, and knew that one entrance provides more accessible parking than the other, so we opted for the lot near the h outdoor pool. There is a level asphalt path, which then turns to flat concrete near the tables. As soon as we claimed a table, our kids rode up on their bicycles and parked under a shady tree. We had scoped out the playground equipment, and brought huge cardboard boxes from Costco for the kids to use as downhill sleds. They promptly put them to use, and also discovered the mini-zip line, which is designed for the 3-5 year old crowd. They also soon diverted to the jolly turquoise play structure, finding slides and tunnels to their hearts' content. We had joyfully discovered that Fatte's pizza will deliver to the park and the local special chicken and white sauce and Hawaiian pizzas arrived right on time. (We had booked our order on the internet the night before since we wanted an 11:15 delivery to the park). The Family Pack included the two pizzas, six assorted sodas, garlic bread and chicken wings, and our niece brought a tangy Caesar salad. We all fluttered around for a while, catching up and enjoying the fresh air in the park, then settled down to our feast! The fresh air produced great appetites in the kids, who are sometimes picky eaters, and they chowed down on the still warm pizzas, then ran off for more sliding fun! It was wonderful for us to gather at a distance and share our recent lives. We left with a fun memory to start the holidays!

    Great park! so much fun for the kids! zip line, hill for the kids to slide down on cardboards, slides, next to a volleyball court.

    great place for kids, stopped by during our trip to SLO and the kids loved it. They do have big slides and area for each age group. Remember to bring the sun screen and hat for your kids, it's burning hot here during summer. I notice there is a swimming pool next to it but probably it's only for the swimming class. Overall, great outdoor place for kids!

    We found this park on a road trip. We are driving home with our grandchildren and wanted to stop so they could stretch their legs. This park was amazing we were only going to stay for 15 minutes but we ended up staying there for an hour. The kids were definitely not ready to leave. This park was amazing for the kids and for us. We really enjoyed watching them play

    Omg awesome playground! Super colorful and unique. Good for all ages. Bathrooms are right next to the playground although the women's did not have soap so bring your own. There's a hill with fake grass and kids are sliding down on cardboard boxes. Right next to the hill is a recycling trash can. I don't know if this is a common activity for this park or somebody went rummaging through trash to entertain the kids. Either way, it looks fun.

    This park is absolutely amazing. It's actually a whole sports complex with multiple municipal pools, a Pony League sized and high school sized baseball fields, tennis, and basket ball courts. It is also home to one of the best playgrounds we have ever visited. The playground contains a huge play structure, zip line, an astroturf hill to both climb up and slide down. If you visit, make sure you bring a decent sized piece of sturdy cardboard so that the kids can zip down the hill. Also, the bathrooms are large, clean, and well maintained. No soap though, so bring your own.

    Nice park with an awesome playground, tennis courts, facilities, volleyball courts, trails. Just be careful because many people were not social distancing or wearing face masks.

    This park is so fun. My 12 and 13 year old sister even love it. There is a zip line, a hill to go down (being cardboard boxes from Costco, they go faster!) there is a place for 2-5 year olds and a place for the older kids! Volleyball net and plenty of picnic areas. Also a place to bbq and plenty of grass areas to run around or sit and relax. This park is a special treat for us and we hope to be able to enjoy for years to come! The only con, there is no soap in the bathrooms and they aren't very clean! Make sure to bring sanitizer!

    Heather J.

    What an awesome kids playground, suited to kids age 3-10. They have a kids zip line! They have a box-slide (find your own piece of box & slide or 'skate' down a decent sized hill. The bathrooms were clean, the maintenance of the park excellent & the choices in things for kids to do was great! We'll be back!!

    To celebrate Bastille Day, the French group again chose Emerson Park in San Luis Obispo. There are…read morelush shade trees lining one side of the park and abundant grass beneath them, perfect for a "Dejeuner sur L'Herbe," or luncheon on the grass, inspired by the French Impressionist painter, Manet. We were immediately welcomed by the host and hostess of our group, who had thoughtfully provided the tables and an umbrella. It is a bit hard to park nearby, but we all managed to ensconce our vehicles and find a place close enough to carry our picnic things. There was a long table with a tantalizing spread of French baquettes, cheeses, sausage, salad Nicoise, berries and an onion tarte. The deserts were almost a buffet in themselves, with Palmiers, cupcakes, an almond tart, Madeleines, tea bread, and a Tarte Tatin. A cooler offered iced beverages. We circled our chairs in the shade and enjoyed this tranquil space in the middle of San Luis Obispo, while our host enlightened us as to the history of Bastille Day. It is so enjoyable to share French culture with a group of people who are also interested! The park takes up an entire city block, and has play structures for children and a basketball court that was in use the day we were there. They also have two Petanque courts or lanes for bowling with bocce balls. We engaged in a spirited game after our lavish feast. If you venture online and explore the options for Emerson Park, there is a site sponsored by the city that asks for suggestions for improvements to the park. One of the many items includes parking and a public garden, as well as other ideas that would only make the park better.

    Local Take: The first of the "Mondays in the Park" series started here, as well as, our first park…read morebased SLO Public Health Mobile Vaccine Clinic. The Parks department also help arrange alot & they helped with logistics, chairs, music, & invited a whole bunch of Food Trucks [Baguette About It; Cubanisimo, & Plant Ivy]. The event was quite a success from the Food Truck & fun point of view. Both kids & adults had a good time. The trucks had long lines & sold out of most things after awhile. There were some performances, dancing, & music. The park itself is really close to downtown SLO, but unless you know exactly where it is, you can easily confuse it with another nearby park that is a few blocks more toward Cuesta Grade. This park is more suited to Food Trucks being inside, but the parking around here is not so great. Our Vaccine event was more informative & it was to test the waters in a park setting. We did have a bunch of people stop by for information & did one shot, but oddly enough I had more requests for a free beer or Vodka. It seemed that the majority of the people here mostly had their vaccines done already, but it was nice to chat. Since we just finished the second "Monday in the Parks" event in DeVaul Park, which was less packed with a much better turn out for vaccines, this series in these challenging times, seems to be a hit. While there are two more events like this, in two other SLO City Parks, it is probable that if these continue to be a success, it might become a regular thing. People seem to love the Food Trucks, the fun, & do appreciate the health promotion/ disease prevention aspect as well. Of course, we also enjoy these events as we also work. It is a pleasure for us, especially the Medical Reserve Corp Volunteers, to help our neighbors & our community, in these community settings. Every shot that we do can potential save many lives by slowing down, or even stopping an outbreak...especially with the most recent finding that any one Delta case can spread to 8-9 other people. This is now a very transmissible virus that rivals Chickenpox and even exceeds the transmissibility of several other serious infectious diseases including the now extinct Smallpox. Evolution can be amazing, but can also be very deadly when it works against a species. Over the past months were have done dozens of Mobile Clinics in almost all towns & cities in SLO county. We have had Mobile or Pop-up clinics in a wide range of venues, both inside & out. They include Parks, Community Centers, Churches, Schools, Food Banks/Pantries, Low Income Housing Areas, Farmers Markets, Swap Meet, Workplaces, and more. If anyone wants to propose a place for us to do a Pop-up, we are all ears. If anyone wants to get a vaccine [either Pfizer or J&J] please look for either one of our future Mobile Clinic sites, or head to one of 3 SLOPHDs [Grover, SLO, or Paso]. While it is harder to find, some Pharmacies may have Pfizer, but we definitely do. J&J is used for those who prefer a one shot deal. Things are getting more serious as the C-19 Delta spreads & testing is ramping up again....as well as cases. The completed vaccine rate in SLO County is not the best by far, but we are trying our very best to increase awareness & accessibility for everyone. Please get vaccinated if not already & please kindly encourage those who are resistant to please come out to at least chat with us. We keep up with the latest information and can help address people's concerns as well as help correct misinformation or myths. It is great that the Parks Dept. as well as other groups help support us in these community outreach projects. While it may seem odd to get a vaccine in a park, it is hard to think of a safer more pleasant way to get one. People seem to feel much less anxious in this non-clinical environment. Thank you!

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!
