Franich Park Menasco Drive, Watsonville, CA 95076

"No lights¡¡!¡ its 6pm and its pitch black all around the park. Over by the dog park the one little light they have is at its lowest dimmed set. It really sucks that u cant even walk comfortable because i dont feel safe."

"My kids really enjoy this park. It's huge with multiple playgrounds for different age ranges, grassy fields, and even 2 sand beach volleyball pits. I let my kids play in the sand when there isn't a game going. It's easy to spend an hour or even more here with little ones."

"You would never know it was there, but if you can find the right street to turn on it opens up into a huge area with two dog parks, volleyball and baseball fields and more. Worth the effort to search for it!"

"This is a beautiful park across an elementary school. Nice safe residential neighborhood. Haven't seen a bum or vagrant here, unlike other parks in the area. It has always felt really safe to me. There are bathrooms, a volleyball court and separate playgrounds for toddlers and older children. Lots of grassy areas and walking trails. If you walk twice around the park, that is about 1.5 miles. The only downside is, there isn't much shade on the walking path. But wear a hat or walk in the early morning or late afternoon and it is very pleasant. In the spring, the ornamental plum trees with their pale pink blossoms and the beautiful hummingbirds and finches they attract are simply gorgeous!"

"Beautiful park! It expanded and with various activities. Volleyball court and more!"
