San Lorenzo Park is a sprawling park that is frequently used for large events, including Earth Day and Santa Cruz Pride. There is a stage for concerts that is located in the middle of the park's duck pond. A large play area includes a brightly colored snake who's tail is a slide. A smaller playground is fenced off and is meant for smaller children. There are plenty of picnic benches.
Camping, dogs, alcohol and glass containers are forbidden in the park.
