Manzanita Park, part of Monterey County Parks, is operated by the North County Youth Recreation Association, and the entrance gate for vehicle access is open only during their scheduled events which vary throughout the year.
The general public may enter the park from sunrise to sunset to enjoy the ball fields and the numerous hiking and bicycle trails throughout the park, but are limited to non-motorized or pedestrian access and to areas that do not conflict with scheduled events. You can, however, buy a yearly $50 pass that will allow you entrance into the park any time during the year.
The Manzanita County Park Trail is a border trail with a nice sandy path and greenery to enjoy with your dog. They may not be allowed in the ball fields and courts; follow posted signs.
Dogs are welcome at all County of Monterey parks, trails and campgrounds. They must be on a leash no longer than 6’ and supervised at all times. Please be courteous and pick up after your pets, keeping the parks beautiful for everyone to enjoy.
