Pacheco Dog Park at Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, California.

Dog' s love the park.

The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5, is because the ground is covered in these wood chips, that my tiny, 3 1/2 pound dog can't run in!! She falls thru them, and has a hard time walking on this stuff. Bummer! But otherwise, this is a great dog park in a nice location, with some shady areas, as well as sunny parts... It has benches to sit on... And doggy poo scooper things, to pick up your dogs poop with, so that you don't have to use a little plastic bag! You can just scoop it up and throw it in the garbage can there! Kinda nice, and better for the environment!

I just really wish they'd use something different, or just leave the ground the way it is naturally, without the wood chips!! A lot of the dog parks use these wood chips now, and for very little dogs, it's really no good!!
