To find the diameter of a circle given its area, you can use the formula for the area of a circle:

\[
A = \pi r^2
\]

where \( A \) is the area and \( r \) is the radius.

Given that the area \( A = 586 \, m^2 \), we can solve for \( r \):

\[
r^2 = \frac{A}{\pi}
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
r^2 = \frac{586}{\pi}
\]

Calculating \( \pi \) (approximately 3.14):

\[
r^2 \approx \frac{586}{3.14} \approx 186.64
\]

Now, taking the square root to find \( r \):

\[
r \approx \sqrt{186.64} \approx 13.65 \, m
\]

The diameter \( d \) is twice the radius:

\[
d = 2r \approx 2 \times 13.65 \approx 27.3 \, m
\]

To the nearest meter, the length of the diameter is:

\[
\boxed{27 \, m}
\]
