Ramona Garden Park, Grover Beach

NOTE: This park is closed for construction (March 2026)- an awesome playground is coming soon! Ramona Garden Park is a huge sunny park in the middle of the city streets of Grover Beach. There is a fantastic amphitheater for live music. In summer from the beginning of June to the middle of August you can sit on the sloping lawn and enjoy free concerts on Sundays from 3-6pm. It's a wonderful way to end the weekend. Kids enjoy the little manmade stream with pebbles that runs past the amphitheater and the wooden bridge that crosses over it. There's a farmers market at the same time as the concerts.

After the concert, head down Grand Avenue to Pismo State Beach for a sunset meal by the ocean and a walk among the dunes.
There is a skate park (open limited hours) called South County Skate Park located six blocks to the east of Ramona Garden Park, at 1750 Ramona Ave.
On days when there's no concert, the park seems pretty plain, with not much to do, and there are homeless people sometimes.
The free Stone Soup Music Festival is held here and the surrounding streets on a weekend at the end of August.
Also, AJ Spurs Saloon often has good music Fridays 5-8pm, including the great duo called Spike and the Box.
If you miss Hawaii, drive seven minutes west to Red Dirt Coffee House (closed Mondays) to buy spam musubis, delicious butter mochi, aloha wear, and locals slippers. On Fridays at 10:30-12:30, sit outside under a yellow umbrella and listen to the Hula Cove Ukulele Singers as they practise their upbeat tunes.
