Featured campaign: Support Sunnyside Park
The former Sunnyside School property is a rare opportunity to create a vibrant new community park in the heart of Los Osos/Baywood. Sunnyside Park can provide play areas, walking paths, gathering spaces, and green space that our community has needed for years.
Parks for Los Osos fast‑tracked its work to help meet Sunnyside Park requirements, build community support, and prepare to raise dedicated funds for planning, design, and amenities.
