Phase two upgrades to start at Royal Oak Meadows Park
Upgrades for phase two of the project are scheduled to begin on Monday
– With the first phase of improvements well underway at Royal Oak Meadows Park (Royal Oak Park) in Paso Robles (1750 Airport Road), additional upgrades for phase two of the project are scheduled to begin on Monday, Sept. 30. Royal Oak Meadows Park will be closed during phase two of improvements with the park’s walking path and turf areas to be enhanced, the current tot lot replaced with a new playground, and a shaded picnic area installed.
Phase one, which started in July of this year, includes the construction of a full basketball court and a small parking lot. Construction on both phases of improvements is set to be completed in early 2025. Royal Oak Meadows Park, located east of Airport Road and south of Parkview Lane, is an existing 2.4-acre neighborhood park that offers both active and passive recreation facilities to meet various community needs.
Improvements to Royal Oak Meadows Park will be completed as part of the Olsen-South Chandler Ranch Specific Plan Development, which will ultimately connect Royal Oak Meadows Park to a new section of park along Turtle Creek via an eight-mile stretch of bike and walking paths. The future park will be east of Royal Oak Meadows Park along an extension of Parkview Lane in Paso Robles. The plan for a new section of park along Turtle Creek includes approved recreational amenities such as pickleball courts and a picnic area.
“Open spaces, parks and trails are essential for the Paso Robles community, offering residents opportunities to stay active, connect with friends and family, and appreciate the natural beauty of our area,” said Community Services Director for the City of Paso Robles Angelica Fortin, “We are excited about these new upgrades, which will ultimately connect and enhance two neighborhood parks and improve the quality of life for Paso Robles residents.”
The improvements at Royal Oaks Park are being constructed by the Viñedo master developer (Olsen 212, LLC), with Rick Engineering serving as the project’s civil engineering firm. The Olsen-South Chandler Ranch Specific Plan was approved by the Paso Robles City Council in February of 2020.
