Libby Lake Park — Attraction in Oceanside

Do your kids like nature? If they do, this is the perfect place for them! Not only are the play structures fun to run around on, but there’s a 1/2 mile paved path around the lake where you’ll find all sorts of animal life. We saw turtles, ducks, and cranes and even watched a crane catch a fish and swallow it whole! I really want to give this park a higher rating, but the bathrooms really need improvements in order for me to add another star!

Oceanside is a city with a heavy presence in skateboarding history and it would be cool for every skatepark to reflect that. This park is a borderline insult to skateboarders with its cheap and lackluster design.

With the problems that this park faces, a well-functioning skatepark can help bring a positive atmosphere. Look at what Linda Vista Skatepark did. It doesn’t need to be large or state-of-the-art, it just needs to be appealing! There are plenty of skateboarders and companies in the Oceanside community who would participate in the renovation of this place. There are baseball fields, soccer fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, etc. EVERYWHERE. It’s time to start giving the skateboarders the focus...

I take walks and run around Libby Lake, I like it and the variety of birds are pleasent. Sadly people don't care for it as much as it should so there is a lot a trash. Other than that it is nice and pleasent, haven't had any issues. I do see wana be gangsters but they don't do much.

I hear talk bad about Oceanside I think those people haven't experienced bad neighborhoods, beleive me I came here to get away from that I wouldn't move to a bad...
