Preisker Park

Located at the northern end of town is Santa Maria's largest park at 40 acres. This park, popular with morning walkers because of its perimeter walk, has all the elements for leisure activities. The old style gazebo/bandstand is ideal for relaxing summer concerts in the park, or a small wedding ceremony. More than 100 different tree species can be seen at the park site. Amenities include two playgrounds, seven reservable group picnic areas, five barbecue picnic areas available on a first-come, first-served basis, restrooms, a large open grass area for a leisurely game of soccer or touch football, horseshoe pits, and a popular 18-hole disc golf course. A pond and creek adds interest to those visiting the park.
