Which nearby park is known for offering weekend events and is located near UCSC?

• A. Wilder Ranch State
• B. Pogonip
• C. Henry Cowell Redwoods
• D. Monterey Bay

Answer: (A)

It's about identifying a park near UCSC that is known for weekend events. Wilder Ranch State Park sits just west of Santa Cruz, a short drive from the campus, and is well known for offering weekend programs like guided hikes and family-friendly activities. Pogonip is nearby with extensive trails, but it doesn’t have the same emphasis on formal weekend programming. Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, while popular and offering some programs, is farther away in Felton, so it’s less directly tied to UCSC weekend visits. Monterey Bay refers to a broad coastal area rather than a single park near UCSC, so it doesn’t fit the “nearby park” criterion.
