County of Santa Cruz Parks, Open Space, and Cultural Services Department

Pinto Lake County Park is a 183-acre regional park in southern Santa Cruz County with a beautiful lake, trails, soccer and little league fields.  The park serves the largest percentage of underserved youth in the County.  This proposal is for the construction of an accessible playground and an asphalt pathway linkage from the existing pathway to the play area.  These features will enhance safety, promote play, and provide access for all children regardless of physical ability.
