If that ball being used is a basketball, football, or baseball you're in luck as this area includes all the amenities one could possibly imagine. You will not be wanting or bored at this place of play. Have fun, play hard, play safely, and leave the park cleaner than when you arrived, please. The only downside is the trash piling up, perhaps new garbage bins / recycling program would be beneficial to combat litterbugs.

Review is for the BMX pump track. Track is good for all levels, but ideal for advanced riders. A…read morelittle tight for the intermediate riders, but still fun. No crowds. A plethora of parking. Cell service is spotty. I would come here, then head to Harvey West to ride. I would say the 3rd best pump track in Santa Cruz for the intermediate rider. Take your dog since the dog park looks killer and is just a across the parking lot. Bathrooms to the South near the baseball fields.

This is a perfect spot to visit the Carmel River. You have to drive a bit, but once you're there,…read moreit's worth it. It's a child friendly river spot with nice areas to put your lawn chair/ towels etc. I would recommend visiting during the week for less traffic and people.

Dampierre Park is one of the parks within the Monterey Regional Park District that we've never…read morevisited so we thought we'd check it out. The gates were closed when we got there. But from what we could see from the parking lot it looked pretty cool: baseball diamond, picnic benches, BBQ set up, etc. What kid wouldn't be stoked to have this in their backyard!? It straddles Garland Ranch and Carmel Valley so it's a totally gorgeous area. It's just more of a neighborhood/local youth little league field than a place to hike.

We came here for a kid's birthday party, and this park is so nice!…read more It's very spacious, lots of free parking, and lots of features. There is an extensive playground with different types of swings, merry-go-round things, a large playhouse thing, and several slides on a little hill on the playground. In the area with the slides they have turf material and there is a recycling box with cardboard so that kids can use it and also sled down the hill. They have different types of courts like for basketball, pickleball, tennis, baseball. There is lots of space to walk on the gravel path, and there is sort of a pond area (which appears to be less maintained). There are many picnic areas that are shaded too. I really liked that the area the birthday party was located had a gate so that kids wouldn't run out and away. The playground also had a gate on it too, which is great for childrens' safety and parents' ease of minds! We noticed the bathrooms are somewhat high tech with lights to activate the automatic doors and lights to indicate that the bathroom is occupied. I didn't go in, so I can't comment on cleanliness/upkeep. Wish this kind of park was more common. I would highly recommend this park!

The fact alone that this park has bathrooms makes it awesome…read more I have been coming to this park my entire life. It has definitely gotten some upgrades. New magical bridge playground opens this weekend. It's not even open yet and it looks beautiful so far :) It has a dog park, a trail, a basketball court, a tennis court, and a baseball field. I almost forgot, the ducks! It has a lake with ducks! I like walking the trail because there are plenty of trees which creates shade, so it's not just sunny. The bathrooms are located in between the tennis courts and the baseball field. Also, parking is free! Anyone can come with children, strollers, solo individuals, people with dogs, anyone. Everyone is in their own world, living their life with nature.

It has well cared for fields and plenty of amenities should nature call. Next door to the soccer complex is a large baseball facility and adjacent party venues. I'm sure that quiet a few victorious sporting events have spilled over into more than a few of them. In the event of more than one game going on at a time, there is ample lot and street parking. There is also a playground for the younger siblings of athletes to amuse themselves. While dogs are allowed in the playground and baseball park, they are not allowed in the soccer field area.
