City Park

Great as a way station for us on a road trip. Complaints that the playground is dilapidated are completely warranted. They are supposed to be installing a new play structure soon.

A decade ago this was THE place for local families. Then the city started focusing on tourist dollars & let the play area go down the toilet. They ripped out the slide, merry-​go-​round and now the remaining play equipment is decayed and embarrassing.
Luckily there are huge trees and the lawn looks OK, considering the drought. The new gazillion dollar restrooms are nice, too. Not much parking because downtown merchants use 10 – 15 spots M-​F.
Currently the Paso REC foundation is fundraising to replace the crappy play structures but it’s a shame the city has let the Downtown Park become a place to earn $$ (festivals all through the year) instead of keeping it nice for locals.

The park for children is old and an eyesore,
I was just there and found condoms on the kids playground it’s not as bad as Sherwood park but that’s not saying much unfortunately.
I love that they have fun events here so the one star is solely based on that horrible playground

Great add to our trip into the city for lunch. Great people watching and our daughter had a blast playing in the fall leaves. It was a mild fall day when we were there. We ate our desert in the park. Definitely spend some time here.

Super clean park and hosts a ton of Awsome family events. This park keeps this town with the small town community feeling. Also surrounded by great stores, resturants and theater.

The downtown Paso Robles park is a beautiful place for some afternoon family Frisbee, family kickball, toss a ball, or just a quick little picnic. There are park benches, picnic tables, two BBQ’s (you may have to reserve them) and a beautiful historic library in the middle.
Come check it out… great downtown in Paso Robles!

Great, clean park in the center of downtown. Shops, restaurants, and a movie theatre surround. The restrooms are newly renovated and extremely clean. Lots of trees that provide shade. Cute playground for the little ones.

Great safe place during the day. It’s the focal place for dining and entertainment

It’s a nice park. What can you say? On a good day, you have trees with appropriate shade, seating, concrete walkways that take you through the park, plenty of places to sit in the grass against a tree, and decent views of the neighboring stores and wineries. It is a pretty set up in Paso Robles. This area feels like the «home» of the town. Anyone passing through must visit this right-​off-​the-​freeway location at least twice. Once for the experience and the second time for the memories.

5 stars means «Woohoo! As good as it gets!» and that’s what City Park is. After years of monthly visits to Paso, we decided it’s the city we choose for early retirement. The small town feel in and around the downtown area center around the park with its oak and other trees, gatherings such as the Farmers Market and Craft Fair’s make Paso truly feel community oriented. Our only desire… better streets throughout the city. The park is a draw, the surrounding streets can really put a frown on the tourists faces.

I love this little park! I live about a block away and it is always nice to walk around in. It seems to me that anything «cool» in Paso is happening here! I have also recently discovered the Farmer’s Market here on Saturday mornings. It is pretty small, about 10 ‘vendors’ or so, but you can find nice fresh produce for dirt cheap. Just today I was about to get cilantro, pound of grapes, strawberries, tomatoes, and yummy salsa for around $ 10. That’s a freakin deal!

in the heart of Paso Robles lies the city park. It is a center for events of all sizes and continues to be a hub of activity. Something is always going on and the lawns are well kept, the playground makes for happy children, the historical society is in the old Carnegie Library, the band stand has music often, and the park is surrounded with restaurants, candy, library, wine tasting and more! Check for events there are multiples every month!

I loved the community feel to City Park.
The park itself was simple and great for a family outing.
The surrounding restaurants and shops were adorable, allowing for a day of exploration along with the park activity.

City Park of El Paso de Robles is the perfect complement to the magnificent wine tasting and restaurants in the area. Whether you desire a romantic stroll with your lover, or need a place for the kids to stretch their legs, this small but loaded park fits the bill.
In addition to the great reviews that have already been posted, I’d like to add that they also have a beautiful water fountain turned on during parts of the year and there’s a timeless Carnegie library tucked inside the park itself. The building is small, but don’t miss this little but historic treasure!

Wow. What a beautiful, simplistic park. It’s almost 4 acres of FUN that includes small playground, several picnic tables, horseshoe pits, BBQ area, gazebo, and lots of grass to lay in. After my big supper, I found myself doing a couple of laps around this family friendly venue. It seemed like this was the thing to do on this warm summer evening, as I kept running into the same people over and over…
Lot’s of kids, families, but NO DOGS ALLOWED. I wonder why? Maybe cause I don’t want to lie down and find a happy surprise at my head!
Truly a beautiful sight. Earlier that morning, when it was a ghost town, the main attraction to Downtown Paso was this park. They have a small farmer’s market with your basic produce. It was awesome, but it was too hot to shop. Definitely a great place for a walk and/​or a nap.
