Scotts Valley

Scotts Valley is a quiet suburban community in the Santa Cruz Mountains where hikers, bikers, runners, and outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the area’s parks, outdoor recreation areas, and the many historical sites to see. As part of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park edges into town, it is a popular launching spot for day hikes, trail runs, or biking excursions. Lodato Park is another popular park for all of the above. Located a bit off the beaten path, its one of Scotts Valley’s best kept secrets. Tucked away behind a corporate office park, Lodato Park is home to a handful of trails that many of Scotts Valley residents discover or come across for the first time after living there for decades!
