Which state park lies to the west of UCSC and offers free events every Saturday and Sunday?

• A. Wilder Ranch State Park
• B. Big Basin State Park
• C. Castle Rock State Park
• D. Henry W. Cowell State Park

Answer: (A)

You're being tested on both location and weekend programming. Wilder Ranch State Park sits right along the coast directly to the west of the UCSC campus, making it the natural geographic match. It’s also known for offering free programs for the public on weekends, including Saturdays and Sundays, which fits the second clue about free weekend events. The other parks lie inland or to the east/northeast of UCSC and don’t align with the “west of UCSC” clue, so Wilder Ranch best satisfies both parts of the question.
