3 Parks to Visit This Month!
WHILE VISITING THESE PARKS Spend Time With Your Loved Ones As we approach the end of summer, now is the time to enjoy some quality time with your loved ones while being outdoors. With National Eat Outside Day being Aug. 31, these parks are great locations to have a picnic, soak up the sun, share stories with your loved ones, and even get some physical exercise.
Harvey West Park 8 a.m.–7:30 p.m. 326 Evergreen St. SantaCruz.org/listings/harvey-west-park In 1955, Harvey West donated a piece of land to the city of Santa Cruz to create a park for the public to enjoy. West was a philanthropist who contributed to his community privately and publicly. The 50-acre park has tons of amenities for the entire family to enjoy all summer. You can swim in the Harvey West Pool, host picnics in the open spaces, or take a walk through the Friendship Garden and surround yourself with nature. This garden is wheelchair-accessible and a great spot to spend time with your loved ones.
Spanish Gardens at City Hall 7 a.m.–6 p.m. 809 Center St. MobileRanger.com/santacruz/santa- cruz-city-hall If you’re looking for an area to unwind and stroll through a botanical garden, the Spanish Gardens at Santa Cruz City Hall is the place for you. The garden belonged to Frederick Augustus Hihn and went along with his Italian villa mansion. Although the gardens are not located at the estate anymore, the spirit of the place remains intact. With over 300 different species of plants as well as the world’s largest rose bush, it’s easy to spend hours looking at all the flowers. So, come on by and smell the roses!
DeLaveaga Park 8 a.m.–7:30 p.m. 855 Branciforte Dr. SantaCruz.org/listings/delaveaga-park This area used to be the vacation spot for José Vincente DeLaveaga and his family. When he died in 1894, he left more than three-quarters of his million-dollar estate to various charities. A portion of his land was used to create the park we know today. DeLaveaga’s dream for this land was to be a place for the public to enjoy for years to come. Today, you can go to this park for hiking, viewing exotic flowers, playing outdoor games, and having picnics.
