​HIDDEN BEACH PLAYGROUND
In memory of Jett Ramsey and in tribute to his family, The DeBernardo Team
rallied the community to raise funds to build a new playground at Hidden Beach Park,
the neighborhood park much beloved by Jett, his parents, and siblings.
This project is complete!

"It’s important for our community to come together, support our local families
and restore the parks and playgrounds that make Aptos such a special place.
The Hidden Beach project does both of these things."

“We are so grateful for the out pouring of support our family has received from our community
and especially the Santa Cruz Warriors! Our family is big fans!
We cannot thank everyone enough. Every little bright spot helps us get through each day,”
-Amy Ramsey.
“The Santa Cruz Warriors are honored to partner with the Ramsey family, The DeBernardo Team, and County Park Friends
to raise funds and awareness for a remodel of Hidden Beach Playground in memory of Jett Ramsey. 
Parks are such a vital part of one’s childhood, and it is our hope that a remodel of the Hidden Beach Playground
will provide our youth with a safe and inclusive space to play for years to come.
The Warriors are committed to taking an active interest in the well-being of our community
and look forward to other community members joining the efforts.”
-Santa Cruz Warriors President, Chris Murphy.
