This park was a much better option. A paved trail to walk on. Water stations that worked and a very clean bathroom. There's also a huge green grassy field. We saw plenty of people walking their dogs on the lawn. Almost everyone had their dogs on leash. A much better option than the dog park

This petite park has a lot of features: a large flat grass area that is well maintained; a double slide; bathroom and drinking fountain; table and benches; sandbox box; bike rack; and playground equipment for preschoolers. My grandson and I brought some toys to play with in the "sandbox". We had fun, and there was water there to make a "sand castle ". However, I was finding myself trying to pre-sift the sand because it was dirty. I highly recommend this park to families with younger children.

Wow! We went to Leo's Haven at Chanticleer Park and it's amazing. I wish this park was closer to…read morehome. It was just built in 2020 so everything is in great condition. It was built in partnership with Shane's Inspiration (if you've been to Griffith Park, it's the same organization). So, many of the park features are universally accessible. The playground area is spacious and a wonderful safe space for children. There are some climbing areas and slides for toddler age but the larger playground is great for preschool-elementary age. There isn't a ton of shade so bring hats and sunscreen! There are some benches scattered around the park and a few tables outside of the gated area. There is a private lot and street parking. They have bathrooms and they are fairly clean!

I've been to this park probably 50+ times at this point (it's a popular youth soccer game spot)…read more Pros: - Cheap parking (even if you just want to walk to the boardwalk, it's a decent value). - Fantastic soccer field (easily the biggest selling point of the park). - The surrounding businesses are amazing. A local community figure and soccer training coach is nearby (Pana) and he's a genuinely amazing/positive influence on the kids. Neutral: - Sometimes people without housing can frequent the area. They generally respect boundaries and I don't think I've ever felt unsafe but it's just something to keep in mind. - There's no lighting on the field at night and parking has minimal lighting as well. I'd recommend planning to leave by nightfall. Again, I've always felt safe but it's just better to be cautious. - The restrooms are average for a park (not great, but also not bad). Example, the stall in the men's restroom doesn't have a door. Cons: - None.

What I love about this playground is that it is completely fenced in but it was no match for my son whom managed to not only climb out but unlatched the gate to escape. Verdict - My kids were bored so yesterday will be the first and last time there.

This is the biggest small part of the dog park I've ever seen. It's about a quarter of an acre. There's a lot of shade and it's in a very nice park. That doesn't seem to be any water in the small dog park. I'm here during the summer and the surface is dirt and weeds. I imagine when it's raining, this place will be quite muddy. Parking is on the street nearby.

This is out 120th dog park located near UCSC (University California Santa Cruz) on the west side…read more It is run by Santa Cruz Parks and Rec. Small dog side Large or All Dog side Water fountains NO bags provided - bring your own A little bit of scoops, but don't bank on it Trash cans Port-o-pottie Shade and sun Lawn chairs Picnic tables to sit at MULTIPLE entrances (half double gated, half not double gated) This is a very nice dog park with a lot of natural terrain, hills and flat areas. If not stable on your feet keep to the flat spots. Nice water fountain, but they were clogged - so I fixed them all with my special dog park screwdriver. Now the flow. Nice people, friendly, knowledgeable. The all dog section is soooo big I'm seriously wanting a Bluetooth "Tile" on my Schipperke as he easy to loose in the all dog section. One serious complaint is the two SINGLE gates. All dog parks should have double gated entrances. One could easily be modified to a double. The other should be padlocked until they figure that out (I would just lock it, people can go around). They should also put a double gate between the two sections so people don't accidentally let my dog out of one section and into the other. That DID happen once and it was not a good situation. I would gladly help fund raise for the additions, or padlocks. Other issue is the water run on all dog side off has two dips that go out and smaller dogs can totally get out of the gap. Just put a bit of concrete down at those spots with a drain that blocks - or stick rebar (or stainless steel) in the ground so dogs can't get out. Again, this is our 120th dog park. Thumbs up, overall.
