The swinging bridge was pretty cool to walk across and on the other side is a museum.Definitely worth checking the swinging bridge and the few museum buildings.Plus there are chickens running around all over really cool.

A cool historic suspension bridge in Arroyo Grande that is a perfect place to stop if in town or on a road trip passing thru. It is right next to the main street, and there is a small park with seating and some walking trails. A great site to see and there are even chickens in the park as well.

Its a very fun experience,walking across the bridge and seeing all the chickens and one rooster. I loved the gazebo. I would like to go back and have a pick~nick with my girls

A fun experience although wasnt as advertised in photos. The trees and brush have grown so high, preventing you from seeing the beautiful creek. They stated that the bridge was 40 feet high....although because of all the brush/trees, it doesnt look high up at all. However there is a historical building worth checking out.

Loved the atmosphere, very quiet and beautiful. The Village is an amazing historic town. An awesome place to take a picnic lunch and spend the whole day just walking around and learning fun facts.

Sturdy historical bridge. Sways a bit as the name suggests but is reinforced on both sides to keep from being too hair-raising.

Great quick stop. There are a lot of cool roosters and chickens just wondering around the area. You can take a quick little walk down the trail along the creek under the bridge. Kids enjoyed it.

Very interesting. The platform, siding and structural frame are made of wood and supported with wire cables that run from end to end and tied to deadman. Maximum of 5 persons per crossing. It really swings and moves up and down but very safe.

Something of an institution in Arroyo Grande, a walk across the swinging bridge. View the creek below, watch the resident roosters, stroll around the shops on the main drag or into the old residential section known as the Village of A G.

Basic historical bridge that crosses over river. Nice to take your kids to cross over and also go down to the river below. Finally has water flowing at a good rate after the good amount of rain we had.

I have loved this since early childhood! Beware: The truly faint of heart will feel shook up. Those who have walked it as long as I have know it has been reinforced and its manic swinging days are behind it.

Its just fun to walk across the swinging bridge. Its a simple thing to do that is satisfying somehow.I didnt go to the bridge specifically. After a few garage sales in the neighborhood I stopped in the parking lot next to it to let my dog out.More fun than the bridge was watching her react to the chickens? and roosters? that roam freely throughout the lot and creek area. Each bird has a distinct personality which seem to match their beautiful feather colors.Dazee was mesmerized. She wanted off leash so badly to play (chase) with them. I didnt unleash her even though I knew she wouldnt hurt them. It would have created too much of a scene.If youre in the area you should stop by for a bit. Its worth it. And if youre not from the area, you should check out some of the cool little stores as well.

This is at pismo beach during the strawberry festival. There was a live cover band playing, camel rides, all sorts of strawberry delights, and venders with creative and crafty things. If you love the coast, and you cant live without strawberries, you have to mark your calender for this festival.

Relatively short pedestrian bridge linking Heritage Square Park to Centennial Park. Theres quite a bit of swing to the bridge in the middle section so be careful if you have motion issues.

This is a cool place to just stop for a little while to check out the chickens roaming around, the swinging bridge, and kids love the little orange tractor on the other side. Its right behind the main Street in town, so plenty of shops and restaurants.
