A short 18-mile drive from the Pacific Ocean, the greater Fallbrook area is well known for its gently rolling hills, lush groves, ancient oak trees, equestrian and walking trails, riparian areas, nature preserves, and Mediterranean climate.
Live Oak Park
An early morning drive down Live Oak Park Road while the sunlight is
streaming through branches of majestic oaks, is a breathtaking sight that will
not be forgotten. A posted sign will remind you to enjoy it at minimum speeds.
The road leads you to one of the most beautiful parks in the county—Live Oak
Park. It covers 16 square miles with a rich canopy of ancient oaks, playgrounds,
barbeques, baseball diamonds, a sand volleyball court, basketball
courts, and hiking trails—all placed among the oaks and gentle streams that flow throughout the
majority of the year.
Local residents formed the Live Oak Park Coalition and maintain it to this
day with the assistance of groups such as the Boy Scouts of America. The park is
used on weekends for barbeques, birthday parties, and large group activities.
Several groups use the park for annual activities. For instance, Rally for
Children and the Fallbrook Elementary School District host a day called “Arts
in the Park.” Thousands of children and their parents come to the park to
learn all forms of art. Hands-on activities include painting, papier mâché,
clay work, mask making, hat making, puppetry, experimentation with musical
instruments, and more—all free of charge!
Live Oak Park boasts a dance pavilion and wedding gazebo, and wedding packages offer reasonable rates for ceremonies in the lovely park. For reservations and further information call the Fallbrook Community Center at 760-728-1671 or e-mail us at
