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

\[ A = \pi r^2 \]

where \( A \) is the area and \( r \) is the radius. We can rearrange this formula to find the radius:

\[ r = \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}} \]

Once we find the radius, we can find the diameter using the formula:

\[ d = 2r \]

Given that the area \( A = 586 , m^2 \):

\[ r = \sqrt{\frac{586}{\pi}} \approx \sqrt{\frac{586}{3.14159}} \approx \sqrt{186.78} \approx 13.66 , m \]

Now, we can find the diameter:

\[ d = 2r \approx 2 \cdot 13.66 \approx 27.32 , m \]

Rounding this to the nearest meter gives:

\[ d \approx 27 , m \]

So the length of the diameter to the nearest meter is 27 m.
