A large county regional park between SLO and Morro Bay with a botanical garden, disc golf, ball fields, camping, and trails into Dairy Creek and the surrounding hills.

El Chorro Regional Park sprawls across the green valley between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay, offering one of the county's most versatile recreational hubs. The park packs in an 18-hole disc golf course, sports fields, group picnic areas, a campground, a dog park, and a children's playground — plus the lovely San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden showcasing Mediterranean-climate plants. Beyond the developed areas, trails climb into the surrounding hills and connect to the Dairy Creek and Eagle Rock trail systems, offering hikes with views across the Los Osos Valley toward the morros. With its mix of active recreation, gardens, camping, and trail access, El Chorro is a beloved all-purpose county park for families, dog owners, and weekend adventurers alike.
