June 26, 2016 here they go again!!!
This park is incredibly nice for an early morning motivating, exhilarating, FUN, out of breath, whole entire body is hurting (good pain) in your face WORKOUT!!! I’m coming for you Nathan and Spencer!!!

Prostitution out of the parking lot. Big fat hairy old dude in Hawaiian shirt working a deal with a sketch female in full makeup and short skirt on a Saturday morning.

Eh. I haven’t had the best experiences here. I love coming here to socialize and BBQ with friends but the surroundings are pretty shady. And by shady I mean loud obnoxious people who yell, cuss, get wasted, and brawl with one another not taking into consideration that there are families trying to enjoy themselves.
Homeless people hang out here too– they take naps under the trees smack dab in the middle of your events. Kinda odd. Especially with children running around, it’s just not the place to be.
There’s a huge playground for kids to play on and a little walk up food shack and public bathrooms. The beach is right across the street for easy access.
Don’t bother parking here in the lot– it’s small so the trick is to sit and wait until someone decides to leave.

Great place to spend the day. I went here on a Monday at the end of August and parking was not an issue. Weekends, holidays and summer break is when you will have a hard time finding a parking spot in the lot. There is a large grass area with trees that provide a lot of shade. There is a small basketball court. Play area for children. Picnic benches are under a large covering and you will have to come early to reserve this spot. There are about 4 tables here and they are all very close together. It’s probably best to bring your own BBQ here. There is a bathroom and small café that is open in the mornings only. Beach is right across the street.
There were a school of transients hanging out here on the day I was here with my daughter. Their bikes were everywhere. Some were sleeping under blankets while others were smoking and hydrating. Luckily they stayed away from the play area.
I have had been to many BBQ and birthday parties here and I will definitely be back. Surf is good at the beach here too.

Buccaneer Park is one of my favorite parks in Oceanside! You can’t beat the location either since the beach is right across the street. It’s nice to hold any beach day events at a park since it’s less of a mess because sometimes bbq-​ing on the sand gets a little crazy.
Parking is a little tough but if you’re lucky, it all works out in your favor.
There’s also a nice updated playground for kids of any age!
A couple downsides are there are no outlets-​so if you plan on bringing crock pots or anything that needs to be plugged in, don’t. Make sure you’re all charged up beforehand. And, the bathrooms! They need to be maintained a little more to say the least…
So, if you’re planning on having a beach day/​BBQ Buccaneer park is your best bet since you’re just steps away from the water!!!

It’s a great playground location with ocean views and shaded picnic bench area. Downside: many homeless people and sketchy basketball area. Bathrooms are always dirty and without water or soap! Café nearby opens for only a few hours a day.

One of the kiddos favorite parks! This park has a lot to offer. Plenty of parking but It will get full on weekends during the summer. There are bathrooms and showers as the beach is across the street, they are not the cleanest but will do. The café is open from early morning to 1pm offering coffee and small breakfast and brunch items.
Now for the park. This park has two playground sets one for the younger kids and one for the older. My kids love the rock wall and all the cargo netting you can climb on. Separating the playground and the duck wash out is a big Grassy area that is normally full of people playing ball. The dick wash out is fun for the kids you can bring bread and feed the ducks. There is also a small paved nature trail you can walk up there are signs with information about the native plants and wildlife. The rain tracks also run along the back side of the park and about every 30 – 45 min the coaster or Amtrak rolls on by. Overall this is a great park because it offers more than just a playground and my kids love it!

«The Buc» continues to improve. Several homes around the park have been redone and they just trimmed all of the 50+ Palm trees again. Really makes it look tight and right. South OSide is really going through a renaissance and it is very cool to see!

Buccaneer Park along with other areas on the beach has improved since the city of Oceanside has worked to clean its image. Any coastal community will have its share of troublemakers. The kids playground is new well maintained. Oceanside police makes rounds to monitor the park especially during the tourist season. And contrary to what I was told, kids don’t die in Buccaneer Park!

There was a meetup here for my run group didn’t stay long and had to park outside the park because it closes. I really don’t have much of an opinion other than its within running distance from the pier. Wouldn’t go out of my way to go to. Pretty much only return if someone wanted to meet me there which I don’t know why they would

this place is effin filthy. took my kid and she almost fell in a pile of vomit. there’s also dog crap every where damn scum bags have to ruin everything. theres also a good amount of hobos so it’s an all around sketchy place.

Cool park. dogs allowed on leash. Few homeless people.
