Kevin B: Well kept park. A few homeless sometimes scattered about, but theres plenty of space. Nice green grass and shady areas, plus a play area for little kids that looks like it would be a lot of fun if I completely refuted adulthood (which I am still considering doing). Its spots like this that make SLO special, and we should all treat them with care.
Fornia Grampa (Grampa Fornia): Just driving thru about an hour before sunset. The sky was melting together one spectacular color with another and another and yet another... Morphing from 1 spectacular aerial fractal into another. Phenomenal!!!!
Jaimal Hanson: One of the underrated and lesser known gems for hiking in SLO. Irish Hills offers a great mix of terrain, elevation, cool views and interesting geology. Lots of trail options to explore . Connect to Johnson Ranch open space, for extended trails. AllTrails is a great app for connecting the dots. Get out and check out these trails! Highly recommended.
Geosan: It’s a nice little park. Great parking and grass area! The bbq, eating area was big but the bbq grills were so full of charcoal ash. Had to clean them out ourselves before we bbq’d. Had to pay for our area which is the norm these days but would have been nice if it was ready for us. Clean rest rooms and clean park. I did like it and good place to hang out for a day. Not sure if I’ll go back though.
Kathryn Beetle: We recently had a Celebration of Life event at the Dallidet Adobe and Gardens on Pacific Street in San Luis Obispo. Many of our attendees were local and had never been to the Dallidet and were shocked by this peaceful spot in the heart of downtown. If youre looking for a beautiful wedding site or a quiet spot to just take in nature, the Dallidet Gardens are well worth your time.
Salvatore Canu: Recently visited the new Laguna Lake Dog Park. What a difference and so nice for the furry four-legged folks. New dog park offers ample room for the pooches to run around and visit with friends. Nice touch is they separated the park for large and small breeds. Definitely recommend the new dog parks to locals and visitors alike.
Rhi Trujillo: Great tour and views. I visit a lot of lighthouses and used to work at one, and I think this is the best preserved one that Ive been to.
You cant drive there because of the neighboring powerplant, but you park in Avila Beach and take a van up to the lighthouse. The driver we had was funny and friendly, and the drive was beautiful. We were put into a small tour group when we got there. Our tour guide was very friendly and knew a lot about the lighthouse. You get to go through the beautifully restored lantern room, bedrooms, and kitchen on the tour. You get a few minutes to check out the trails and gift shop too before the van takes you back
Make sure to reserve your tickets online in advance if you want to visit
