We Need Your Input!

Help shape the future of Parks, Trails, and Recreation in San Luis Obispo County!

The San Luis Obispo County Parks and Recreation Department is currently developing a comprehensive Parks, Trails, and Recreation Master Plan, and your input is essential! By completing our Parks and Recreation Needs Survey, you can directly influence how we plan, fund, and improve our parks, golf courses, trails, natural open spaces, and recreation facilities—ensuring a sustainable and vibrant system that will serve our community for years to come.

The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and is available in both English and Spanish. Your feedback will help guide future decisions about how our parks and recreational areas are maintained and developed.
