      Stunningly beautiful park in Buelton. As I visit there are kids on play structure and a couple having a picnic and dog walkers circle the large path. Previous visits include a wedding and a garden explore. The clean bathrooms and large pa tv king lot make this spot accessible to all ages.

      I love this park! Perfect space to go for a walk, meet with friends, have a picnic, or engage in some basketball! Tons of grassy areas, a playground, and a full paved walkway. Great to walk laps and it's a perfect venue for hosting events. They have barbecue pits too! This park is right next to the Santa Ynez Botanic Garden. It's honestly a perfect place to go with kids and get some energy out. Plus, they have lots of parking right at the park. We really enjoy going to this spot!

      This was such a great find on Yelp! I looked for playgrounds in the Buellton area and this popped up. There was plenty of parking when we went and although there are two playgrounds, we stayed at the one closer to the entrance. Lots of climbing for my kids to engage in and space to run around. There were bbqs for people to use and large fields to run around in. I also appreciated that there was a walking path for those who wanted to get some exercise.

      One of Buellton's best secrets!

      I was in town for a few hours and have never thought that there was much to do outside of the ostrich farm or perusing one of their strip malls. I came across this park and had to check it out.

      The park is not in the center of town but rather, tucked away at the edge of a residential neighborhood. It's pretty nondescript from the front and you have to drive down into a parking area which butts up to a cul-de-sac. It's in a super quiet section of town and I was surprised to see all that was in store.

      This place is sort of a one stop shop when it comes to outdoor recreation. There's a few nice walking trails, a few large playgrounds, sports courts, picnic areas, and a botanic garden of sorts. It's very impressive and there's a little something for everyone. I was surprised at how empty it was on the warm Sunday afternoon I paid it a visit. A real hidden gem of a spot.

      The botanic gardens were my favorite part of this park and I could tell that they were curated with love. There were so many components - native plants galore, hardscape sculptures, replicas of Native American architecture, and multiple sections to veer off and explore. The sections were all labeled with descriptive placards which made the experience feel like a fun scavenger hunt of sorts.

      A great find in this sleepy little town. Definitely a spot to check out.

      One of the cleanest parks I have been so far. The restrooms are the best examples. You will not believe that this restrooms is at a park for the cleanliness and amenities of the place. Plenty of play areas picnic tables with electric outlets, huge bbq grills, green and pushy grass. Overall an excellent place for picnics and parties. We wanted to go there just to have a quick lunch but we ended up staying for hours.

      I have been taking my little dog to the park and a big dog jumped on me because he was after my little dog. I snatched up my little dog and saved her from the dog. A lot of people just turn their dogs loose and don't care about other peoples pets. They just ignore the leash laws. I called the park and they could care less . I suggested signs where people get out of their cars . The women told me it was a police matter. So be very careful when you take your fur baby's because it is a dangerous place. I see loose dogs when ever I go.

      First to Review

      I came here for the Buellton Brew Fest. The park seems spacious. There's a little play area for the kids. Bathrooms were clean and there's plenty of parking. It was a nice sunny day with some cloud cover. There weren't too many trees for shade, so you may want to bring an umbrella or wear a hat.
