University Terrace Park

Great park, pretty well maintained. I wish there were more like it.

Large park with tennis courts, basketball courts, dog park, and hiking trails nearby. Park is nicely maintained and location feels safe.

A popular public park off of Meder Street on the Upper Westside of Santa Cruz.

It’s a gorgeous setting with plenty of individual & independent activities going on.

A woodsy nature trail thru the river bend area

Lots of open grass for picnics & exercise
Even Dudgeon’s & Dragons. BYOB

Best Dog Park around, clean and secure park with tennis and basketball courts. Big field to chill as well. 100% recommended

We've only used the dog park and the side trail, but these are enough to get us back time and again. Where else would you meet such sociable dog parents with well-mannered dogs? And the interesting terrain with beautiful trees just make this place really special. I'm sure the rest of the park is equally worthy.

I love my morning walks up to this park. the eucalyptus trees and the light from the sun coupled with the smells of winter are extraordinary. The tennis court is cleverly positioned inside of the dog park such that when balls fly outside of the courts they land right where the dogs can go fetch them. Retrieving tennis balls is probably going to be a challenge though.

AMAZING dog park. It's huge! The large dog area It's on a very steep hill, which our dog loved, but might not be a good fit for everyone. There is a flat area as well, you just need to enter on that side to avoid the hill.

Huge dog park. I like that there's two sections one for little dogs and one for the big dogs. The doctor really friendly and they have plenty of room to play and run around. I am definitely coming back with my two dogs.

Great park, has 2 separate areas for dogs, one for small and one for larger dogs. Other than the dog area there is tons of other stuff to do. Has a mini library, basketball, small playground and a large Field.

Friendly people and their dogs too. Sometimes my dogs are too yappy and active for the more trained, better mannered dogs that frequent there. Its kept clean, we've never seen poo left behind.

Beautiful & very well manicured. The fenced in area for canines is quite large - good for fur babies to get in a good run.

Best place to bring your pup for some social interactions. You can always go down the trail or chill in the well shaded park

Very nice dog park with a great group of regulars that come every day. Any time we are in Santa Cruz we bring are puppy here and we are always greeted nicely.

It's a very child and dog friendly area. Really nice and peaceful. Some structures so kids can play and a beautiful field which has daisies in the spring

Lovely large fenced in area, water available. Friendly people. Friendly dogs.

There's a outhouse on the trail, water fountain for people and dogs, Large field for sports, tennis courts, dog park, playground, and a great trail lined with eucalyptus trees for bikes and pedestrians.

This park has everything, tennis courts, playground, baskwbaske court, big and little dog park and a nice trail. Except a real bathroom. Only a portable potty. Nice neighborhood.

Love this place has three dogs areas and a huge area for walking. One of the nicer dog parks I have been to!

Clean park! The park is muddy for my pooch as he is furry and white. Need to give him a bath after the park visit ☹

Multiple watering stations a separate section for the smaller dogs versus the larger dogs to be turned off leash.
