Am taking off a star, as once again the foxtail grasses are out of control. The burrs will follow.
How about a volunteer team to install some native plants and pull out the invasives, esp the ones that can severely harm little children and our dogs. Or.... what will it take for the public parks to have time, money, interest in cleaning up the grass and vegetation?
The stage has been completed and the kiddy pool is open again! MIssion Creak was flowing this year with all the rain, really delightful.

Neighborhood park, large enough for many activities. Not fenced into parcels so it a pleasant walk with dog. Stage badly needs resurfacing as dancers and exercise classes use it even during Covid. In non Covid times is used for festivals.
There is seating for large groups and areas to BB, tennis courts, a pool for toddlers, and if it rains a beautiful creek.
Complaints are the seasonal fox tails and burrs as park services doesn't seem to have the resources to control these and how the parking can at times be overrun by non park users.
The best place ever for any type of festivity, and festival, really nice people. Crashing into a party may be challenging but worth it. Depending on the type of party holding a can of beer (an empty one works) helps to be seen as a valid guest.
Small, but for a city park it's great. If you're taking it visiting relatives to the hospital, you can walk there and enjoy a stroll, bird watching, or a picnic. Lots of tables in the shade. There's a restroom near the play area, and a water fountain after you cross the bridge.
Great park with nice playground area. The park runs along Mission Creek and is 2 blocks from the hospital. In better years, this is the park for all kinds of ethnic festivals. Huge BBQ pit with multiple cement picnic tables. Other wooden picnic area with grills around the park. I did notice more homeless in the parking lot, but the playground area and rest of the park is fine. Be kind to those around you.
Beautiful playground for young kids. The pool is always a blast. Bathrooms are a bit questionable.
Oak park is a great place for party, gathering or whatever! There is no running water in the creek at this time but loads of fun to be had! Funky restroom but it works!
Nice and family friendly park. Sad the creek is dried up.
Love Oak Park - great for kids and families - lots of tables and barbecue areas and whatnot. A creek runs through the park so kids can scramble through it. On weekdays there are certain areas best avoided as people sit there and drink all day long but it is definitely safe and clean
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 pat
Great little park for a short walk or for a BBQ. They also have plenty of picnic tables if you want to have lunch after hiking rattlesnake canyon. There's a paved path which is great if you are mobility impaired , but also several walking and hiking
A massive park with incredible hiking and recreation options. Costs money to enter on weekends (and was told cash only). Epic views on top of mountains overlooking the ocean and the whole city. A sight worth seeing.
Great park in the hills above Santa Barbara. Several hilly trails that take you around to the beginning. Beautiful views. Watch out for Rattlers and be prepared to hike uphill!
Nice park and beach. Beach has a bit of driftwood, but not a problem. Water is swimmable, surf was much lower than other beaches closer to Malibu. Plenty of parking available - $18 per day.
Beautiful and quiet. You will need to descend to get to the beach that has a rocky part but manageable - just be careful when walking. We visited on 1/2/23 so the weather wasn't so great due to the pineapple express system that was moving through,
For me, my Bar Method classes are as important as taking my vitamins! I have been going regularly for nearly two years now and I feel so strong and healthy. The instructors go through a lot of training so you can count on having a good, challenging c
The best F45 I've been to. Class was packed with almost 50 members. All the coaches, specifically Coach Katrina, found time to motivate and challenge me through one of the best workouts I've had in months.
