Activities in Scotts Valley

Scotts Valley has great parks that will entertain the entire family.  Skypark has playgrounds for the little ones, a skate park and sports facilities for the older kids, a nice walking path for the older set and even a dog park for family pets.  Bring burgers to throw on one of the BBQ pits, and make a day of it.  On hot days, the pool at Siltanen Park is a good alternative.  And for the beginning fishermen and fisherwomen out there, Camp Evers Fishing Park has a pond full of trout.  Family-friendly events happen all summer long – most notably the Children’s Fishing Derby and the Fourth of July celebration in Skypark.  For those who want to venture out a little bit, Scotts Valley is only a few miles away from the famous Santa Cruz County redwood forests and beaches.
