This is a nice neighborhood park near UC Santa Cruz. There’s a playground, great for kids under about 8, and a walking path around the pond that’s about 1/3 mile. The pond has lots of wildlife, including birds (ducks, geese, coots, herons, and more) and fish and turtles. Lots of grass, and redwood trees provide shade. Nice place to relax!

This park is great if you love ducks, I do! Who doesn't? My dad actually isn't very fond of them but we don't talk very much anymore.

This is a very nice neighborhood park accented by a pond that gives the park its namesake. The pond/lake is not very big but it is quite scenic and walking around the lake to enjoy the view is a must. Certain sections of the trail is in the shade; otherwise it is fully exposed to the sun but since Santa Cruz is never too hot, it is not a problem.

This is a local neighborhood park in upper Westside Santa Cruz. Nice playground and park for young children. More like a pond than lake. Good place to meet locals and their dogs.

Westlake Park is a hidden gem. There is a beautiful natural spring fed pond with bass, koi, mallards, turtles and more. There is a new play structure for kids and a large lawn area for dogs and kids to run and play. There are no bathrooms on site. Fishing is allowed. Dogs are allowed on leash. This park is a true gem.
