Walnut Grove Park

Walnut Grove Park is gorgeous! The surrounding scenery is breathtaking with the mountains by Mesa Rock. This park has massive lawns and an amazing running trail around the park which continues on Sycamore Drive as well. Because there are horse arenas on the premises, I was hoping my son would be able to see some equestrian practice. Unfortunately, the only horses we saw were the ones grazing on some grass at a house nearby.nnud83dudccd1950 Sycamore Dr, San Marcos, CA 92069nud83dude99Plenty of free parking in lots surrounding the whole parknud83dudcb0This park is freen⏰Park hours: outdoor areas are sunrise to sunsetnud83cudfa0There are 2 separate play structures.

Great ud83dudc4d, this park is very spacious, with lots of parking and 2 sections, with some picnic tables and covered. It has 2 playground areas both on opposite sides of the park. This park is great for walks, bikes, jogging, exercises, it connects to the twin oaks trail. Thos was my go to park when I lived near the area for activities. The bathrooms are clean, if need to know. And its is close to a market liqour in case you forget drinks lol. I think first come bases for tables, if planning a bday.

It's so spacious and plenty of parking. Very tranquil!

Feels like being in the country. This is a large park that includes many sports fields, vast lawns, playgrounds, 2 meeting buildings, historic houses that can be toured, and equestrian facilities. Horses can often be seen in the ring or on the trails. There is a dual track surrounding most of the park, one soft surface and the other paved. They are great for all activities. The trail also connects to the surrounding community trails. The dual trail along Twin Oaks Valley Parkway, adjacent to the golf course, is very shaded and enjoyable.

This park is awesome! Tons of open space and well maintained.
