Want to provide feedback on the Emerson Park proposed conceptual layouts?

The City of San Luis Obispo is looking for community feedback for the upcoming Emerson Park Revitalization Project.  

The City was awarded a California State Parks Prop 68 grant of $2.81 million in December 2021 with funding meant to create better access to parks for people of all abilities and income levels and to revitalize Emerson Park, a three-acre neighborhood park.  The City initially held five virtual public meetings from January – March 2021 prior to receiving the grant funding.  

Emerson Park is in the downtown core of San Luis Obispo at 1341 Nipomo Street, adjacent to the Parks and Recreation Department main office building. Current amenities at Emerson Park include two bocce ball courts, an old basketball court, community garden plots, a weathered black top, playground, picnic tables, turf area with an old backstop, and new exercise equipment.  

The required grant deliverables will feature new and upgraded amenities including the addition of shade and lighting, a new dog park, upgraded and expanded playgrounds for children of all ages and abilities, a restroom with a solar roof, an upgraded community garden with a new educational section, a renovated and expanded multipurpose courts, an upgraded blacktop, decorative fencing and landscaping, and new public art installations.
