  3. Parks to Visit in Oceanside California

The name Oceanside takes our minds to white sand beaches, sea and surf, and all things water sports-related. Oceanside, California is all of those things and there is an entire city built around that image. Oceanside is the kind of place where people live good and their kids grow up happy and healthy.

This is why Oceanside also has miles of beautiful parks. Parks where families can spend the day having fun and people can bond with their neighbors. Let us share some of these beautiful parks with you. When you visit Oceanside, look past the beach and see the other blessings of nature that we offer you.

Mance Buchanon Park

This is a fantastic park for families, sports teams, and people who just love nature. The park is 29 acres wide. There is a multipurpose field where you will see people playing football, baseball, having cheerleading practice, and more. You will see people flying kites in the air, playing frisbee, and even operating drones or radio-control vehicles. There are ample picnic areas with drinking fountains and parking is easily available.

The park has lots of benches, restrooms, and trash receptacles to keep the area neat. The lights come on automatically at dusk, so feel free to relax at the picnic tables and have your dinner.

Everything is maintained and kept clean and it is away from the main road, so you can feel free to let your kids run without worry.
