This park is great for people of all ages. The large wooden structure playground is so much fun for children. There are many beautiful gardens and a duck pond.

My absolute favorite park. I’ve loved going here ever since I was little and I even took my prom pictures here recently. A magical place.

This park is great for people of all ages. The large wooden structure playground is so much fun for children. There are many beautiful gardens and a duck pond. The paths are easy to walk and it is just a very enjoyable experience. There are green patches where are you can stretch out and have a picnic and watch the money pollinators landing on the flowers. I highly recommend this for a stop, especially if you have children that need to get out some energy.

Alice Keck Memorial Park is beautiful and well maintained. It has lots of curvy walkways, beautiful plants and trees, some of which predated the construction of the park, and a stream and pond. The stream and the pond are artificial, but the ducks and the turtles don't seem to care. If you come to Santa Barbara, you should visit this park.

What a pleasant area to spend some time in nature. I was strolling from downtown to the mission (about 2 miles one way) and Google took me through this park. Cute pond and paths to take all over the park. I sat and enjoyed the shade next to a deeply rooted old tree. The vibe was very chill and people were friendly, many playing with their dogs. I'm glad I was able to experience it. 😌

Small local park with benches spread out, a pond for ducks and turtles, and beautiful trees.

Across the street from a playground. There are all sorts who come here including homeless but I’ve felt safe every time I’ve been there. Good for walking dogs for something different. Free Parking along the road.

Quaint little park. Inviting scenery. Has a babbling brook feeding into a small pond. Mature trees provide plenty of shade to cover the afternoon sun. The breeze knock off the leaves, then gently float down to the ground. Unfortunately, city traffic, horns hi king and trains passing remind you of how close city life is. However, the park is well kept and is a great place to relax. This is a great place for a BBQ or outdoor festivities.

Finding a parking spot can be a challenge, especially on the weekend.

This park is located in a 2 block area of Santa Barbara off of Santa Barbara St. Beautiful grounds, walking paths, pond area with ducks/turtles, and grass areas.

Wooden park benches placed throughout for sitting/resting convenience. Street parking for access to park available, no parking lot or public restrooms at this location.
Very peaceful setting, where you can stroll throughout the park and admire the trees and garden areas.
