Park is well kept and has picnic tables under some beautiful redwoods. The best time to visit is 12pm-4 pm, just my opinion. JJC Electric

Good sink with high pressure for cleaning up and dog park

Active, engaging park with pump track, dog park, ball diamond, basketball, and playgrounds.

Small dog park ideal for dogs and humans.

Very accessible. Good full court for basketball and bocce ball. Semi strong homeless presence, but they keep to themselves

Its okay weirdos in the park

A great middle part that we found driving around. my two-year-old love the place we had a lot of fun for about an hour and a half. It was really clean. When we arrived there was a park ranger walk in the park. Which was nice to see.

Nice place to enjoy wildlife nature peace n tranquility.

Very nice little park, lots of shade, goodbasketball court, skateboard track, andthe restrooms are not bad, oh yeah, ithas a fenced off area to let your dogsrun around in, and a kids play area thatsokay, all in all nice park but its a littleshady, if you know what i mean.

Sadly this park hasnt provided the greateat experiences for my family. My toddler has had to wait for a woman to shoot up in the bathroom before she could use the toilet for what it was intended for. On another occassion some little girl tried telling my daughters they couldnt play on the structure simply because they were on it. I reminded her it was a Public space for all kids to use. The structures however are fun and different than other local parks and with the mini skate park addition we have been wanting to give it another try. Its just not really safe for a family.

Beautiful little park with a big people problem. The city has given this little place everything a park should have: grass, playground, dog run, water and restrooms, and recently a skate course. What is not provided makes the facility useless and that is law enforcement. I’ve tried to use this park four times in the past month. Each time, I chose to leave within minutes of arriving, the druggies loiter at the bathrooms, day-camp on the grass, and use the the restrooms like a brothel.

Nice little park with dog run base ball diamond basket ball court play area for kids. 8 picnic tables couple out door grills can reserve tables on Saturdays only. Plenty of shade trees and grass area to relax in. If at hotel in area can talk kids to play do to run and enjoy some of the FREE things to do in Santa Cruz. Park well kept and clean. Late after noon visited by some home less but they where nice and respectful. Police and park rangers drive by often so over all nice safe park

I love going to this dog park. Pretty much everyone that goes there picks up their dogs crap.

Great park. We love the flying saucer swings. There are several BBQ pits and picnic tables under beautiful redwood trees. Baseball diamond and great fenced in area for dogs to run and play. Biggest downside are the one stall restrooms, so make sure to go to the bathroom before arriving at the park. Park is geared more for smaller kids.

Dont go to this park if you dont feel comfortable around homeless. I love the playground and the dogppark. Parking is decent for being street parking. There are basketball courts and a baseball diamond. There is also a fenced small kids play ground. Bathrooms, only 1 per sex.

Nice park but cops like harnessing people there

These pictures were from up the street from the park itself, but it was on Grant St. And I thought there succulent garden was beautiful!!But as far as the park goes, its a nice park, with a dog park area where your dog can run around in an enclosed area. I like Grant St. Park.

It was super fun and clean,cool playground.

Very nice park. Went there with my besty to enjoy the weather and having lunch on the grass. Everything was great until we were harassed by a park employee who said her name is erica. She was rude and made us feel uncomfortable for being in the park. She asked us why we were there? And to move spots. Blamed us for park shutdowns..etc. Made us feel discriminated against for no good reason. We were just passing through trying to enjoy the day. Wr dont why we were treated so unfair? There are other people who also feel the same and have been harassed as well.

Well its okay over there its just I dont like gangs and bad people hanging over in the area.

Sunny, beautiful grass and picnic tables. Really really cool park, actually two, one isfenced in for younger kids. Dog park, clean bathrooms, basketball, baseball field. The missing star is due to the occasional individuals that can often be found napping in the shade. These people are generally polite and harmless; however my child always notices and it rises questions, not always a bad thing, it makes for a humbling and educational conversation. If this type of thing makes you uncomfortable you may just want to drive by and check it out before commiting an afternoon there.

Nice place to unwind relax enjoy nature.

I spend a great deal of time here with my Niece and Nephew. The play area, soccer/baseball field and basketball court are solid. There is even a dog run, its a great location for the whole family.

Nice little community park. Great playgrounds and fenced in completely so its easier to keep tracking little ones.

Had a blast throwing the softball around.

I love the park structures and the layout. But frankly, there are a lot of sketchy and homeless people milling about. I was worried the whole time about keeping my daughter close and that my car may get broken into. I was watching for old needles everywhere. Didnt find any, thank God! But, feeling like you have to be so mindful isnt fun and parks should be fun.

Chill park with a good vibe.

Tai chi in Grant St Park on Sunday with Dale Strawhacker is a wonderful start to the day

Fenced in dog park but the entire park is fenced in as well! Very convenient! Small baseball diamond and basketball court as well.

Lots of transients in the area which like to make it their mission to make me uncomfortable, but the dog park is nice enough. Typically small to medium dogs come here. The park is small but well stocked and theres a field for baseball. All the necessities.

Kinda rough. You can tell its the hood park

Took a midday nap here, before heading back to the Bay. It was one of the better naps Ive had. The park is nothing much though.

Great play set, but no swings.

My daughter loves the new, large play equipment installed at this park. Climbing walls, spinning cages, and flat-pan swings. Homeless are always there but tend to keep to themselves.

Grant street park has been 35 plus years of great memories! Absolutely amazing!

The park employees are very rude q

Fun basketball court

It is super shaded . Nice bathrooms and water sipper for both humans and dogs. Nice space for dogs .lots 8th picnic tables.

The park its self was amazing . But, the city workers that do the daily maintenance on the park were very rude.

Nice park,., like any tho: needs more (or ANY); ADULT PLAY STRUCTURES.,. WE NEEDS RECESS TOO, STILL.,. DUHHH

Nice dog park here!

Great place to take a toddler

Well kept lil park, few homeless, but No gangs or dealers visable, so my kids enjoyed themselves

Nice p as rk, dog park, restrooms, BBQ.

Very pretty park and pet friendly.

Good park with different play structures than you usually see.

Druggies everywhere careful!! Dont go in restrooms, people shooting up in there!!

Great dog park area with a nice shade tree!

To many drug addicts live in this park not a safe place for children

We need to clean up the park. Where did the state park rangers go ?

Not a fun place to hang in the park at.

Just loved it

I take my dog there sometimes

Nice park. Crappy bathrooms

It has a play ground and silent park! did not see the grant part :)
