THIS IS A GOOD CITO OPPORTUNITY!!!
There used to be a cache in this area (How Now Hooscow!). It, apparently, was muggled. This park is just too cache-worthy to be cacheless.
Near the cache is an old jail cell. Here is a little information about it from Waymarking.com:
"The tiny one-roomed jail over looking downtown Arroyo Grande from LePoint Street is known as the Hoosegow. It was believed to have been constructed around 1910 for use by the County Constable. One of the first orders of business, for the new city, was to correspond with the County Board of Supervisors to ask for the privilege of using the branch county jail. This request was recorded in the City Council minutes of July 26, 1911.
The jail is of concrete construction measuring about eight inches thick. Besides the door, there are only three other openings in the structure. These are very high windows about ten inches by twelve inches cris-crossed with metal bars. The single entrance is constructed of a heavy iron door which is secured by and oversized padlock.
Fortunately, the jail has been preserved and is surrounded by a small park maintained by the City of Arroyo Grande known as the "Hoosegow Park".
The park sits on a hill overlooking the village of Arroyo Grande."
There is public parking on the other side of the street.
A great cache to bring your kids and dog along!
