    We rented the gazebo in the Flower Garden for a birthday party. At first I was a little uneasy because there's so much space throughout the park that would make for a phenomenal gathering space. But, in hindsight, the garden was a perfect place for a dozen folks looking for a beautiful quiet space to enjoy each other's company. The entire park is gorgeous, full of towering redwoods, a vast playscape, and a large group gazebo on the other side of the park. The staff is really nice and helpful and people throughout the park are respectful of other patrons. The entire community services division (parks & rec) was so courteous when we had questions or needed assistance. The garden is still open to others, but people respect the fact that you are having a gathering. There was even a cute middle aged coupled who wanted to renew their vows using the gazebo, and quietly waited until we were done before renewing their vows. And they were happy to allow us to witness their rededication.

    Quality/Quantity - Sequoia park is 60 acres. Walking and biking trails. Playgrounds, ponds, etc. The garden has a wishing well, wish me luck; pun intended. Atmosphere - Small garden, but huge park. Not sure if the park is part of the garden...? If the park is part of the garden, it is huge. Either way, it was all the same to me. Open 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm. Free limited street parking; there were plenty today. A few public bathrooms in the park, see pictures. Easy trails. Well, we stayed on the paved trails as I wore the wrong shoes... I actually had my hiking boots in the car, but was too lazy to change... Beautiful picnic areas, etc. Service - Friendly, welcoming employee watering the plants. Price - Free, thank you. Owner Comments - Congrats on your success since 1894.

    Very appreciative of the tree house and playground structures here! Parking is fairly easy with street parking or the parking lot. An open field is here if you want to do light sports such as frisbee or soccer. You will enjoy the open space and trees, and kids will definitely enjoy the tree house with a built-in slide. My only concern is sometimes questionable people walked through, so practice vigilance!

    My review is for the Sequoia Park Garden, and not for the other areas of this park. Ryan and I visited this park last month when we were searching for a pretty outdoor place near the Eureka Sea Grill to eat our take-out dinners. This garden was unexpectedly lovely. Pink and Yellow Lilies flourish abundantly along some of this garden's pathways. There is a cute gazebo, 4 long sturdy benches which were clean and fairly comfortable to sit on, and plentiful greenery. We visited this garden shortly before sunset, and the sun's rays slanting through the trees on to the flowers and leaves was a peaceful sight to behold. It wasn't at all crowded when we visited. There were only 2 other people in the garden at the time. I'm very happy that we visited this park. This was one of those lovely unexpected finds that travel can sometimes surprise us with. Highly recommended for a peaceful afternoon or early evening.

    Although I wasn't able to see the Zoo the park has to offer as a result of COVID-19 Restrictions I still could not leave this town without checking out what this park was about. As a tourist I was very pleased with the park. When you arrive and park there is no cost. For some that's a plus although I don't mind paying a parking fee to support our parks. Once you park you see a playground structure and if you walk right past it you can go into the area where all the big trees are located and you almost feel as if you are deep into a beautiful hiking adventure through a forest. If you are debating visiting this location please do. Not only is it free but it is beautiful and open. While I was there I found families walking around, and children enjoying nature. This park is absolutely a pet and stroller friendly location because of how spread out the space is to walk. My friends and I had a wonderful time walking through this park. During my time there I wore wedges as this was an unexpected stop for us and I was still able to get through the walk with no problem.

    Very cool park some picnic tables and lots of trails & massive trees. From the zoo we could've gone on a skywalk above the trees. There is a garden in here someplace sort of at the other side of the zoo. There's construction at the playground right next to the zoo so it was a little confusing

    Nice trails!

    Beautiful flower garden next to the Sequoia Park Zoo. The garden has flowers in full bloom and is a perfect spot for pictures. On the other side of the zoo is a park with swings, a play structure, room for community events and some trails to explore the redwoods. If you want to have a party or family gathering there are plenty of picnic tables. Great place to relax or walk the pups!

    Headwaters Forest Reserve is an amazing place and full of natural beauty! The Reserve is managed by…read morethe Bureau of Land Management in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The trails are well maintained and there is a decent size parking lot. This Reserve protects 7,472 acres of old growth redwood groves, other forest stands, streams, and wildlife. This is an amazing place to go hiking at there is a Headwaters Education Center if you want to learn more about this area. There are different hikes you can take varying in length. Some of the trails are paved and some are unpaved. Dogs and bikes are allowed on some of the trails and not on others. The Elk River Trail is the longest trail and it is 11 miles roundtrip. This area is so peaceful and tranquil and loved that this area has been preserved so that everyone can enjoy it!

    The land consistently gets trimmed and cared for…read more I have come here for doggie hikes, walks, forest runs and to admire the river/nature. Overall, the high review comes after the expansion of their parking lot. If you are familiar with this place you will know that it used to be a two-way entrance now it is a one-way. Careful when coming in because a car might be backing up or confused it is a one way! I highly appreciate that on the trail they consistently have signs to show you if you are allowed off trailing or not. It is helpful to see a map in case you are unsure how far you want to go in. Take into consideration the amount of miles going in and out. Usually my partner and I go up to the 2nd mile maker which is the bridge overlooking the river. And building up your tolerance from there.

    Historic Military Fort [Eureka CA]…read more There's a lot to take in historically from Fort Humboldt. Although this site seems peaceful now, at one time it was the hub of a conflict between settlers and Native Americans. We walked through the grassy park area stopping to read interpretive signs along the way educating ourselves. The history of Fort Humboldt State Historic Park dates back to 1853. First, one of the most famous military personalities to serve here was Captain Ulysses S. Grant, the future U.S. President and commander of all Union forces during the Civil War. He was stationed here as Captain of Company F, 4th Infantry, in 1853-1854. His story is shared in historic signage and markers. No wait... FIRST! Fort Humboldt State Historic Park is haunted! The GhostTube app captured some anomalies when we used it. I posted a couple of videos. During its glory, the fort had 14 buildings: Officer's Quarters, barracks, a hospital, a blacksmith shop, a horse stable, and even a bakery. Wooden markers can be seen at the park indicating where they once stood. The reconstructed Surgeon's Quarters and original Fort Hospital remain standing till today and I wonder if they open the doors to visitors during park hours. One part of the park are collection of exhibits not related to the military history: railroad equipment and machinery used in the early days of 150 years of local logging history including a Donkey engine.

    This was a nice and peaceful park. It is a short walk around to see all the displays. There are a…read morefew buildings still left from the time it was a fort. Amongst the trees on the other side of the park, there is the remnants of the trains and steam engines from the logging days.

    Old town Eureka has so much to see and do... It's a fantastic area to just wander…read more All kinds of different shops from antique shops, to clothing, shops, to shops where you can buy items from Humboldt County. The chain "restoration hardware" started right here in old town. They also have both new and used book shops. One of them is the bookLegger, which has both. A fun shop to stop in is Seymour's novelty shop. From Whoopie cushions, to pink flamingos, to everything in between. There is also a "California visitors center", where you can go in and get local tourist information. There are some great places to eat, from restaurants to otherwise. My two favorites are "los bagels" on 2nd St., and "living the dream ice cream". at the foot of F Street... In season, you can take the Humboldt Bay Harbor tour on the Madaket, a historic boat which used to be a ferry before the days of the Samoa Bridge. During the summer. They have a big open air market on Friday night, and the old town Fourth of July festival is another open air market. That is also lots of fun to visit. The crown jewel of old town has to be the Carson mansion.... A beautiful old building. Unfortunately, it's not open to the public, as it's a private club, but if you know a member, or you can get get in as part of an event, it's really nice on the inside. There are some homeless people in old town, but they pretty much stay to themselves, the best thing to do is just use common sense. You will have a great time here. On the first Saturday of every month, is the popular "arts alive festival." From 6 to 9 PM, they have live music, late night, gallery openings, and businesses celebrating the local vibrant arts scene. It's very popular, and another great event.

    Quality/Quantity - So, overall we had a very good time…read more But of course, if you know me, I try to create my own good times. :) See all my other Eureka Yelp reviews. Main attractions in Old Town are: Harbor walk, be safe as the homeless can be aggressive here. Many good dining options, including Lost Coast Brewery Cafe, Brick & Fire Bistro, Five Eleven, Phatsy Kline's Parlor and Lounge, etc. Eureka Visitor Center - Another one of my highlights of the trip, but then I happen to crash the grand open party! Dick Taylor Craft Chocolates. Carson Mansion - Looks good from the outside. Close to the public. Main attractions in Eureka are: Micro Breweries - So many to choose from, the most popular one is probably Lost Coast. Of course we went to both their locations and a few more other breweries. The Redwood Curtain Brewery also stood out for us on this visit. They also have Cider companies, but that is not my preference/not my drink of choice. Sequoia Park - I enjoyed this. A nice easy walk/hike. Sequoia Park Garden - Really small, but still very nice and beautiful. The caregiver was also really friendly. Sequoia Park Zoo - If I had young kids, I would have enjoyed it more. My daughter enjoyed it. Atmosphere - Historic, victorian homes, art, etc. Kind of reminds me of Napa or Carmel... Small city, but I am told the largest for their county. I believe the largest coastal city is between SF and Portland, OR. The city is approximately 14.5 sq miles with 26.5k population. Service - Good. Mostly self service walking around Old Town. Price - Depends on what you buy, eat, or drink. Owner Comments - Congrats on Eureka's success since 1850. 1856 Incorporated. 1874 - Reincorporated.
