San Luis Ranch eucalyptus forest path, SLO
On both sides of the creek in the San Luis Ranch neighborhood is a lovely path that runs beside the eucalyptus forest! It is a magical area where rays of light shine through the trees, the cold wind makes beautiful sounds in the forest, and flowers sway in the breeze. The path is bright concrete, and workout stations are placed along the way. On the north side of the creek, the path leads directly under the eucalyptus trees, and there is a play area for kids with a twig-shaped balance beam, bowl-shaped climby, and large round swing for two. People sit here and take in the atmosphere of the forest. When you come to the north end of the path, you see a view of Laguna Lake and Bishop Peak, across Madonna Rd.
There are a few things you can do after your walk! Buy a fresh-baked pie at the market, have an ice cream at Negranti Ice Cream, have a meal in the food court, enjoy a coffee at Lucy's Coffee, or sit outside at the tables in the sun at San Luis Ranch Marketplace.
Kids love the Eucalyptus forest, and after, you can walk over to San Luis Ranch Playground to climb the rocketship-like playground and slide down the giant twisty slide!
The east end of the path that is on the southern creek bed leads to the shops at Madonna Plaza and SLO Promenade Center.

I love this part of the path! It takes you to the magical forest.
The paths begin at the pedestrian bridge near 1820 Haystack Place. There is a path on both sides of the bridge. The path on the north side of the creek has the children's play area with disc swing, and the biggest area of Eucalyptus forest- it is not shown yet on google maps.
