Santa Maria Valley Open Space

• Directions from highway 101 Southbound: You'll find this small exit 1.8 miles south of Clark Avenue.  At 1.5 miles south of Clark throw on that blinker, begin slowing down and keep an eye out for temporary signage.

​

• Directions from Highway 101 Northbound:  If driving from the south on Highway 101, take the Clark Avenue exit, turn left to go over the highway, then turn left again to merge onto Highway 101 southbound.  Then follow the southbound 101 directions above.
   

• Directions from the picnic grounds to Highway 101 Northbound:  After you've had your fill of fun and food at Trailpalooza, go out the same road you came in on, but just before you reach Highway 101, turn to the right (south).  Follow this frontage road for 1000 feet and then go under Highway 101.  Once you've found the light at the other end of this tunnel, swing a left (north).  You'll have an opportunity to merge onto the 101 northbound after about a quarter mile.

​

• Directions from the picnic grounds to Highway 101 Southbound: When the dancing, biking, running, music and games are done, simply go out the exact same road you came in on.  Merge on to the 101 southbound.
