The one genuinely public, free family park in Montecito, with a rose garden, a picnic meadow, and a toddler playground — a rare no-cost option in a town otherwise known for private estates and ticketed gardens like Lotusland.

What visitors say
- Kathleen Wyne★★★★★
This is one of the most beautiful parks I've been to! My daughter in law reserved area 6 for my Grandson's 3rd birthday. The park ranger came by to greet us as we were decorating, and he let us know where the bathrooms were, the water spigot, and showed us the beautiful shaded meadow for our games. He wished us a wonderful time and asked if we had any questions. All of our friends and family had a blast! Everyone commented on the beauty of this park. How clean and safe and green! I will remember that day forever! And I'm sure all of us will be back.

Such a beautiful park with gorgeous foliage and walkways. Went for a baby shower and it was absolutely perfect there.
