Theres honestly not that much to do here. Theres a turf field with a soccer field that can be booked for use and theres a small playground with a few things to play on, but most of the area of this park is taken up by parking lot. Granted, these are important parking lots for people going to the beach or the boardwalk, and there are walking paths that lead down to the water, but its just not that exciting. Its fun to watch the train go by on summer afternoons though

It was ok but i like the way the park was before now every ramp is huge. And u have to pay to park 6$an hour. There are funner parks in cruz that has free parking

Nice park with a bike/bmx park, kids play ground and a full side soccer Field. Has bathrooms big park lot.Bike park not for Scooters or skateboards

Very clean, plentiful parking. Amazing skate and bike park.

Its nextdoor to the hgp office And I just love them

I do a walk through that area. Love it.

Nice turf surface, lots of soccer activities. A bit crowded.

Great turf soccer field! Field is fenced off and public restrooms are relatively clean.

This is a great place to meet up and hang out with friends and family.

Good park, no bums during the day!!!

Excellent environment, very International as Soccer is. Cool vibes, raised my Son on that field. Best spent tax payer money ever. Enjoy ️

Awesome astroturf soccer. Bathrooms not so good....

Great for advanced riders.

Great for going big

Lovely park. It used to be a wonderful place to take young kids. They turned it into a Skatepark & removed the wonderful rope climbing gym. Lots of people play soccer here & its within walking distance of both downtown & the beach & boardwalk. The train also passes by, making a visit here exciting for little ones.

I didnt go. I did not want to skateboard

Wonderfull

Cool skate park (big)...but lots of SCPD cars hang out there.. use this park for skating/bmx only...not for party place...️

Nice mixed use park by Neary Lagoon. Also quick to boardwalk along the tracks.

The site of the old railroad yard. The train depot is now a small general use building. Voting for the downtown area takes place here. There is a large parking lot and a well kept soccer field, which is also used for emergency evacuation helicopters. After the great earthquake planners intend to use this location for long term logistics and supply as it is the only large open area in Santa Cruz, and very close to the wharf, which will be the route for relief supplies for at least several months. Currently the city is considering a permanent homeless camp here. There is some talk of using this space for a larger more permanent Warriors arena.

Nice soccer fields, good bike ramps & small play area

Who knew you could pay to park here and either enjoy this little gem or walk to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. I paid $10.00 for the day. Then I discovered The Monterey Marine Museum which is free public entrance along my stroll. I would not have discovered this educational establishment if I wouldnt have parked here.

Nice turf field - not too much shade. Paid parking is on either side of the field and can be scarce. There is also metered parking on the street.There are restrooms on site so thats always a plus.

Local Sports venue. Great if you live here, but nothing for the tourists

Its plagued on one side by a soccer field with no seating, bathrooms with no doors on the stalls and no soap in the dispensers and to round out the category of shame the tressel is just to the other side where the junkies, tweakers and local vampires haunt. The local streets team has their beach crews shed here and you can almost bet there is someone shooting up behind it. If not, just wait for five minutes or follow the trail of needle caps. On the bright side, there is a skate park here. On Tuesdays you can catch dinner at the main building on the property with The Salvation Army and then walk up the street after waiting hours and stay at a crowded shelter where you can guarantee to be greeted at five in the morning by the sweet sounds of people with uncontrolled and rampant, symptomatic mental illness. These are also the exact people who frequent the park. Too long, didnt read - Its a parking lot, really.

This is a great place that Ive had plenty of memories going to, back before I got my bmx bike stolen I used to go there almost every other day! We need anyones help to manage the park and maintain it

Theres always family filling up this park. I enjoy riding my bike through this park.

Lovely park. Clean safe clean bathrooms

A Great BMX/Bike Park with ramps for any age old or young.

A great bay for surfing

Not the nicest skatepark in Santa Cruz, good for BMX!

Bathrooms are clean and they always have bad days. Its chill bike park thats huge and soccer to watch carefully the police station is near by. Im just saying tho

Nice, open and clean, awesome bmx stunt park. The only problem to some would be the mass amount of drug addicts,

Good park. Excellent for watever

Close to the beach and easier to get to and out of than main boardwalk parking

Something about this place I just dont like! However, there are tables for lunch, a bathroom, and a small playground.

Small park next to the train tracks

Great walk when headed to west cliff

This is a cool little park with some structures for little ones, a bmx style set of wooden ramps, and a large Futboll (soccer) field for the local teams to play at.

Very clean nice place would deff recommend

New ramps r makin this place the stuff

Beautiful quiet spot in the morning with plenty of bird watching. Only down fall in that there was no toilet.

Clean bathroom, a nice place to go and get outside

More like a parking lot for the beach go-ers. Pay to park. Clean though.

Sweet place for families out with kids. Picnic tables and fun play equipment. Near to Roaring Camp railroad.

5 dollar Parking all Day! Cant beat that near board walk. Yes it 5min walk to the pier. And about 8min walk to board Walk. And its a nice walk. But if u walking anyways might as well park here. Or pay $12-$20 at the boardwalk parking across the street or meters at 2hour max for $6.

Alot of homeless and police around feels unsafe

A lot of soccer players use the field here but my family has always gone for the bike park. Even at 50 years old I had a blast riding the ramps inspite of the fact that I dont know how to pump my way up/down them.My kids do a lot better with it than me and love this resource.

My daughter told me about it & the facility was & is very clean. So I use it as much as I could & can.

Go 1st thing on weekends and pay for all day. Youre close to everything beachfront.

Parking, beaches are very near,pleasant place

Fun park with restrooms. Perfect location on the way to the boardwalk or to the west cliff. It is right next to the parking so gives perfect opportunity for kids to stretch their legs after the drive.

A nice place to play soccer - A few blocks from the beach/wharf. The big challenge is parking. Make sure you pay the meter or youll be tagged

Good place to hang out

Awesome bike park! A truly unique experience since most skateparks prohibit bicycles.

Its a good place for exercise and is very clean and secure.

Next to train tracks, has nice little play area. Usually ok, but sometimes the police pass through looking for people.

Fun in the Sun

Went to the Bike park. The ramps look like they will need some updating soon as they are showing their age.

Homeless hangout

Nice artificial turf soccer facility. Mornings and evenings are best if youre looking to find some open field space.

Cool astro turf soccer fields. Nice clean bathrooms NO PORTA POTTIES! Bike riding ramp thing. Playground.

Great event rental space.

Big skate park but small playground. Also a very nice soccer field. Also some bathrooms.

A small park but has a large soccer field complex. Clean and well-maintained, with large clean and well-stocked restrooms.

Nice skate park

Needless to say, one of my favorite and near-and-dear to my heart parks.

Lots of homeless junkies. Lot of police activity (police station is 1 block away)

A good park but small and not such a safe place but after all good for kids to play with someone around

Great for practicing soccer and other sports

Never a dull night in Santa Cruz

Cute little park and play area. A few items for kids to play on such as teeter totters, merry go round, and other spinning toys.

Too many drug attics and my kids cant even ride there

Fun and well maintained playground.

Great place to watch the sunset.

Nice soccer field, water and at walking distance from the beach!

Nice small park with carousel and swings. There are also nice skate park

The bike park and soccer field are amazing! Seen some soccer games happen here and they are filled with joy.

Cool skatepark, but rainy today...

Well maintained, artificial turf, official size soccer field available for the public to reserve for games and practices.

Great false turf soccer field, along with a bike park and the only merry-go-round that I can think of off hand.

Great park! Good suffer field & nice bike park

Good for kids

I dont play soccer and I dont like hanging around meth addicts, hard pass.

Get kids off the street and on the vert!!!

I like filling up my water bottles here and watching soccer.

Close to the beach, rad bike park

$5 parking all day

Cool place

Lost Boys Bridge !

Good place to rent for a party.

It is a nice place for visit.

A good place to be for sports. I play soccer there myself!!

Soccer field is sick

Good meeting room. Parking and soccer fields .

Nice place to walk or play soccer.

Thank you county of Santa Cruz for this great close getaway

I gotta say, until the city does something about the homeless here dont bring your kids.

The shinnizzle

Skate its not bad
