Its so pretty! I want to go back with my actual camera and take pictures!

This place has the coolest pond ever and super cute ducks who are really friendly. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and its got a cool big grassy area you can chill at. I really like this park.

Very beautiful and a good place to take a walk…

Very nice little pond went fishing there with some friends and we all caught some good 2-3 pound bass nice fishing spot and some edvice the end of summer and fall are the best fishing time there i recommend using a wacky rig or live bait like bluegill there is bluegill in that pond but catch and release only overall great place to fish and walk NO BATHROOM

A fun neighborhood park and lake in a somewhat unexpected place. Theres a nice trail for walking around the lake as well as a lawn and shaded area doe sitting and a playground for kids. Its a popular place to bring your dog or your fishing rod on a sunny day to escape from suburban Santa Cruz. Popular for ducks, coots, and turtles too!

It is very beautiful and a fun place to meet up with friends and for taking pictures, if not just a very nice place to sit calmly. One thing I dislike is that people fish here.

Love this lake. From the ducks and turtles to the pay ground for my little one or even all the pokemon go stops here for my older kids. Everyone just enjoys this little hidden gem

My grandkids love to fish there. U can see lots of little fish,turtles n ducks. It has a little park but no bathroom thats why i gave it for stars

Fun little body of water, taught my siblings to fish there. #fishbrainchallenge

This park is lovely. Hidden away in a neighborhood above Santa Cruz. It has a duck pond, large field, nice play structure, sand, and swings. All the play equioment is tailored towards older kids. Likely 4 and older. There is no baby/toddler play space or baby/toddler swings. The pond has no fencing which leads me to think that explains the lack of equipment for little ones.CAUTION...People fish in this pond. I have no idea why, its very small. And with fisherman comes leftover fishing line, tackle, and HOOKS! Watch your kids on the shore!

Lovely lake with fish, turtles and ducks. Kids play structure, swings, sand, picnic tables and huge expanse of lawn. Street parking (always plenty). Clean and safe. My grandsons always enjoy it. Also, catch and release fishing.

Nice lake. I miss the island and so do the ducks. Last time saw mallards and bufflehead and cormorants. Coots of course. Herons and an egret. Nice walk.

Ducks! :) I guess we dont feed em bread anymore....

Great grassy area to play, newplay structure and the best kids under 15 can go fishing.you can observe a good variety of wild life to.

This place is peaceful, quiet and spacious. The only thing around to harass us were the ducks.

Cute neighborhood park with ducks, playground, walking paths, and free fishing for kids.

Love this park. Clean and peaceful with sun and shade and play structures for every age. Just wish it had a bathroom.

Vey peaceful atmosphere. Grounds well maintained.

Beautiful park, my favorite in Santa Cruz!

Kids loved this park. Had fun fishing!

Cute baby ducks, benches nestled neath the trees at the ponds edge...simply luverly

One of the ducks that lives here wears a hairpiece. DO NOT MAKE FUN OF THIS DUCK. He is very sensitive and gentle at heart

Awesome park a hidden gem beautiful lake and is fun to spot the fishes and turtles I saw a 4 feet fish swimming in it ...

Beautiful little park with a lake located in a quiet neighborhood, there is fishing for kids and seniors 62 and older. A playground for the kids to play on, picnic tables, lots of grass and park benches to sit on, I think there are restrooms, and plenty of parking. Also I have never seen the park overly crowed.

Clean and beautiful

Such a pretty little park and pond, but Canada geese are leaving droppings so tread carefully.

Love this place, clean environment and we love the ducks.

Fishing not allowed over 18 under 65 :(

Nice place to walk a dog, fish the lake or enjoy the wildlife.

Nice little park with a playground and pond that has ducks, Koi and turtles in it.

So beautiful, peaceful and clean!

Love this place. Nice park, people and pond. Kids always have fun there.

Nice little park with a duck pond.Its surrounded by local homes, often has local kids sport teams practicing, and is a perfect place to take the kids or pets put for some sun.Also good for:reading your favorite book by the waterCatching some sunFeeding ducks

Gorgeous location! We had our girls birthday there and it was beautiful. Only wish there was a bathroom there.

A beautiful, green oasis in the heart of the West Side of Santa Cruz.

Nice park. Love the pond. Playground needs a bathroom.

This is a good clean park to take thekids, it has a nice pond, and is in a very nice part of town. My reason for 3 stars is because it does not have any bathrooms, so therefore you really can not spend very much time here.

Small playground, lots of picnic space and ball fields.

Beautiful

Very relaxing beautiful Santa Cruz Park

Love this ️ place.

Nice little park near a pond. Great space for walking around the pond with family but no bathrooms or water fountains so often cuts short a peaceful time.

Needs bathroom but its got ducks,fish and a playground! it also has turtles! you can also see the occasional crayfish. dogs are allowed but the ducks dont like it!

Grew up here. Love it

One of the best calm clean neighborhood park.

Lots of fun to walk around Lake and see all the Crawfish koi fish Turtles and ducks

Great place to take kids to learn to fish and just hang out
