Something for everyone! Tennis, basketball, walking paths, fields, playground. Separate small dog and large dog parks (assuming everyone followed the rules...) that are both big. The dog areas can get muddy in places so wear outdoor shoes if it's been raining. The tree canopy can make the dog areas a bit dark and chilly so bring a sweater. The small dog park used to have a lot of foxtails but they disappeared and haven't come back.
Best and largest dog park in Santa Cruz. Lots of room to run around with a trail next to it if you want to take a walk.
Large park with tennis courts, basketball courts, dog park, and hiking trails nearby. Park is nicely maintained and location feels safe.
Best Dog Park around, clean and secure park with tennis and basketball courts. Big field to chill as well. 100% recommended
This park is very big and it reminds me of Wildwood Park in Saratoga. Now I would leave 5 stars, but some people let their dogs run off leash outside the designated dog park. Keep in mind that the dog park is massive and is the biggest dog park I’ve ever seen, yet some people just can’t keep off leash activities inside this massive area. Though it’s not a constant issue, it can be a little frustrating as there is an obvious huge designated area for off leash dogs. Otherwise this is a nice place to hang out.
