Waller Park, home to Waller Park
A small neighborhood just south of Santa Maria, Waller Park shares a name with the largest park it contains, along with a convenient location near the Santa Maria Airport. “There are a lot of people that come from all over the U.S. because they like the weather here and the environment,” says Evelyn Hernandez who grew up in the neighborhood and works at the Santa Maria Valley YMCA. “People love the park because it’s really large and clean with two duck ponds and these adorable chimpanzee statues to commemorate the monkeys that used to live there.”
Duck ponds and pony rides
At Waller Park, the duck pond may be the most popular feature, with plenty of locals stopping by to enjoy the park’s expansive 154-acre stretch. The park is also home to multiple playgrounds and sports courts along with a disc golf course and ample picnicking opportunities. “The park belongs to the county and they hold special events like egg hunts during Easter and pony rides and food trucks on the weekends that a lot of people enjoy,” Hernandez says. For a more private experience, the nearby Santa Maria Country Club was established in 1921 and has over 120 acres of scenic golf course amenities. There is also a wide range of programs at the Santa Maria YMCA.
