Confirmed from Ramona Garden Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Sprawling park featuring picnic tables, bouncing castles and concerts.
What runners say about Ramona Garden Park
“Beautiful Park in the middle of North Grover Beach that's been around forever.”
“If you're looking for a peaceful place to unwind or experience the charm of Grover Beach, Ramona Garden Park won’t disappoint.”
Beautiful Park in the middle of North Grover Beach that's been around forever. I remember when I was a kid and used to take the city bus and get dropped off at Ramona Park, it was a pretty big hangout for a lot of the high school kids and neighborhood kids.
Pretty nice park. Lots of green grass. Great place to play in the Sun but still a lot of shaded areas. Ample parking and restrooms. Some kind of club house it looks like it might be for rent.
Love this place! Love the concert in the park during the summer months. It would be nice if other parents would supervise their children more when kids are in the bounce castles though. It is an all around great park for numerous events that go on throughout the year.
RGP keeps getting better and better. Today's Stone Soup Music Festival was so much fun and so well run! Great layout, cool music, lots of good vendors and yummy food booths. Good to see local restaurants well-represented!
