Anna Jean Cummings County Park — Attraction in California

This park has five main areas. The lowest level has a large green field, for free play, training dogs etc., two childrens' play structures and a large roofed gazebo with tables and barbecue ovens. The second level sports playing fields for soccer, baseball and softball plus a measured path around the perimeter for walking. There is also easy access to the high school grounds for additional walks after school hours and rabbit watching at twilight. The third level is a wild area with easy and steep trails. For those with strong legs and lungs the highest trail rewards climbers with a spectacular view of the Monterey Bay. Be aware that you are sharing this part of the park not only with small animals and a variety of birds but also coyotes and possibly mountain lions.

One of the best parks in Santa Cruz. You can hike up to the top of the hill and further, play soccer, baseball, kickball, pass or anything else that you can think of.

If you're working out, there's an enormous hill you can run up to really break a sweat. If you're a youth sports team, there's a baseball diamond and soccer goals in the upper section that are great. Oh, and as a little bonus they have...
