This is a nice place for a walk through. Part of the trail is in redwoods and evergreen trees. The disc golf course appears to be quite a challenge. Lots of groups use the course and enjoy the setting. Be aware that in the summer months there may be some homeless people, most of whom are no problem but be aware. After many many walks over the years through the park I have had no threatening situations.

I grew up going to this place, and its had its good days and bad ones, but it is an overwhelmingly positive addition to the surrounding area. Many people don’t get out enough for various reasons, and this place makes that pretty convenient as it’s an easy stop in to eat lunch, walk with or without a dog, watch the birds, the wind in the trees, or just not be inside for a while.
You might see a homeless person or someone might be drinking a beer somewhere along the way, but I personally have never encountered any aggressive activity in the 46 years I’ve lived in Humboldt County, 40 of which I can remember going to coopers gulch.
There are baseball fields, and a small skate park which I actually helped some younger kids at the time petition the city for. It’s not a giant redwood forest park, or a small childs play park with equipment, but somehow both of those things in ways. Totally Enjoyable, Have Fun!

Beautiful disc golf course, a little hard to follow, but we eventually found all (?) 9 holes. Great for dogs to tag along. The park was mostly clean, beautiful redwoods everywhere. They also had a baseball field, skate park, etc.
