Cool spot. Nothing going on there right now though. Real close to the beach and cool for parking. I park and ride my bike from there to the beach and to downtown. There is a lot of unhoused people living there so be aware. They are friendly tho...

Interesting place. Used by all kinds of different organizations for all kinds of different event. Wonderful location. Currently I go there to watch my nephews play flag football. Definitely not a family park to have a barbecue but hey, I'm sure you could.

Incredible views and a nice walk to the top!

Update 5/2021:
Not what it used to be....hordes of tents, garbage and shoddy, parked vehicles populate this place in the evenings now...indicative of the lack of city policy and management for homeless. Probably okay during the day, but after hours there are probably far safer parks elsewhere.

I love this place for the tennis courts and proximity to hotels and other mainstays in Santa Barbara. There are lighted walking paths above the tennis courts.

This park is close to the beach area in Santa Barbara. Its located next to the Western Carriage Museum. Parking lot can be crowded during week days when Santa Barbara City college is in session. Park baseball fields and tennis courts used by school during week days 7 am to 5 pm. 3-4 Handicap parking spaces available. Park can be exceptionally warm when a hotter day in Santa Barbara, not much tree/shade coverage. Public restroom available. Smaller bleacher seating by ball fields. Western Carriage Museum shares parking lot with park.

This is a very nice park near the beach. My visits here are for SBCC baseball games. The facilities are well groomed and clean. There is almost always a small contingent of homeless in the park during the day but I have never seen them bother anyone.

Has a softball field and playground. Also has a large green area and small stage. The park is also very close to the beach, which is nice, but can also make it chilly. The parking lot is big, but the city college (right above) uses it as one of the few free parking lots for the school, so it gets pretty jam packed on the weekdays during the day.

Historical. Amphitheater listen to the music as you sit on the lawn under a shady tree. Street parking and a few homeless. Santa Barbara Foresters baseball ⚾🧢🍻. Views of sunset or marine layer.
