Sheri S. • September 1, 2011The side of the park with the basketball court is an off-leash dog park, so bring your pooch and let it play with the other dogs.

Marek M. • October 1, 2014Some people prefer the Atlantic coast because it is more pleasant and accommodating but I love the moody, rough Pacific.

Alex P. • August 10, 2017Great park. There's a ⚽️ pitch here, rarely occupied, with lots of solid AstroTurf. Not much other than plenty of parking otherwise.

Matthew W. • July 11, 2013Great place to bring your dog to play. You don't need to bring a leash.

Marek M. • September 26, 2014Fun walk on the south side of Santa Cruz harbor. Good to do it early before the runners and traffic arrives... fabulous sunrises.

Matt M. • June 13, 2011Do the "moonlight" tour. While it isn't exactly moonlight, it is at sunset and the light and conditions are superb. Great guides as well.
