In just a few months, children will be able to enjoy stomping grapes, climbing trees, playing in a pizza parlour and more at the new Paso Robles Children’ Museum (623 13th St.). The museum, opening in the old volunteer firehouse, will feature 20 exhibits, including a six-seat live theater and a 10-foot-tall artificial oak tree.
The new 15-acre Ravine Waterpark features kiddie slides and pool, lazy river, wave pool, flume and high-thrill slides and a "body bowl," which spins like a toilet flush. The park is at the northwest corner of Airport Road and Highway 46 East.
For the skaters, there’s a skate park at 2198 Riverside Ave. (805-237-3988) at Pioneer Park. It’s free and open from dawn until dusk. The concrete park offers rails and a quarter-pipe. Helmets and knee and elbow pads required.
There are also parks in Templeton, at 599 Main St., behind the youth center, and Atascadero, at 5493 Traffic Way, as well as elsewhere around the county.
The Templeton park (805-434-4900) is free, open 2:30 p.m. to dusk weekdays and 9 a.m. to dusk weekends. The 10,000 square-foot concrete park has two bowls, rails and half-pipes. Helmets and elbow pads required.
The Atascadero park (805-461-5000 ext. 3472) is free, open on weekdays from 3-6 p.m. and weekends noon-4 p.m. The 8,400-square-foot concrete and wood park has pyramids, fun boxes, grind rails and ramps. Helmets and knee and elbow pads required.

What you should know about comments on SanLuisObispo.com
SanLuisObispo.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. See our full terms of service here.
Here are some rules of the road:
- Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
- Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
- Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
- Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and leave him a public message.
- Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
- Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
- Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
- Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
You should also know that The Tribune does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at webmaster@sanluisobispo.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.
If you submit a comment, the username of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to webmaster@sanluisobispo.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
