De Vaul Park is a cute park with a small playground, large bowl lawn where you can play fetch with your dog when it's not flooded, and pretty views of Irish Hills. Here, across the street, a path leads up into the hills where the fragrance of eucalyptus and wildflowers awaits. There is a giant tree trunk that is exciting to see. Some of the hiking paths are quite steep! Hiking Irish Hills is a lovely way to enjoy another day! Note: For some of winter, the hiking trail is closed because of mud. 

It is also pleasant to walk around the neighborhood on the charming streets such as Devaul Ranch Drive and Eto Circle. There are flowers everywhere and little footpaths that connect the dead ends of streets to the streets behind them. You can walk quite far, over a mile, by taking all these footpaths to connect to each new section of the neighborhood, all the way to the dead end of Royal Way. The Irish Hills neighborhood is colloquially known as Pill Hills, because many doctors live there.
After, you can walk under an arch where Devaul Ranch Drive meets Tonini Drive, into the shopping center, and check out Costco, HomeGoods, and Old Navy.
Across Los Osos Valley Rd at Madonna Rd intersection there is a coffee shop called Nautical Bean.
A four minute drive away, check out Madonna Plaza where you can get a European chocolate bar at Cost Plus World Market.
For an older playground with swings and beautiful views of the morros, check out Laguna Hills Park, a 6 minute drive north.
