Fantastic place!!! Seriously worth a visit if you are anywhere in the area. Not used to parks like that but it was a great experience. Definitely not your typical park. Dogs need to be on a leash. Great place for the family and kiddos

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.

Nice park with lots of space and plants/flowers to look at. The pond is really neat with all the ducks and turtles.

I love all the seating in this park! It’s so peaceful with plenty of shade and spots to have a picnic. There’s information about all the flowers there which is nice!I think a nice spot to take pictures as well.

Generally wide paths conducive to social distancing form a network of passages among various labeled plants and trees, and benches. Beside pond and realistic running creek. Please dont feed the ducks and turtles.

Today the breeze is blowing through the multitude of lovely trees. The array of birds are chirping. It successfully distracts from the sounds of the cars whizzing by our one way streets. This is another place that is good for a little.stroll or taking a seat under a tree and just breath.

This was a great place for a picnic! Our toddler loved the turtle pond - theres so many of them! The gardens are beautiful and theres so many places to sit and relax. Wish we had allowed more time for this!

My first visit to this park. I really enjoyed the walk amongst the flowering trees and the beautiful greenery along the paths. The turtles in the pond are so cute! We enjoyed it so much that we came back again the next day.

Excellent Park.. I’m sure Ms. Alice Keck is proud

Great little park with unusual plant collection. Could use a little more care and maintenance.

This place. Is. Great. Not much else to say. Just respect the spot.

Absolutely beautiful park!! Sounds of birds, ducks swimming. Sounds like your at museum or something! You can spend all day there

Beautiful park. Manicured. Families. Lots of hidden corners

A lovely little park in Downtown Santa Barbara. Perfect for sharing a relaxing meal, taking a quiet walk, enjoying the ducks in the pond and the beauty all around.

I spent my childhood playing in this magical garden. Its an absolute gem of a park. Santa Barbara is blessed to have it.

Such a great peaceful place to visit, rest, meditate or bring your little ones.

Enjoyed an evening and a morning walk here while in town. Beautiful garden with a lovely pond and places to sit.

Beautiful park with many shady trees. Fun to just walk around. Great outdoor place for kids.

The park has lots of plants and trees enjoyed the walk, got to see the ducks and turtles. Very beautiful!

The gardens are my favorite part. There are 10 informative stations that tell you about the plants. Its really awesome.

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.

Alcohol not allowed. But pretty park

Pleasant, peaceful place. Nice gardens and duck pond with turtles. Nice benches,open spaces, laid back arrangement.

Great park! My kids love looking at the ducks and turtles.

Made a new friend for my puppy A nice kid shared her bubbles with my dog!

Cute park with a pond (ducks, turtles) and lots of little bridges nooks/crannies for kids to explore. Lots of shade and benches to sit on.

Nice city garden spot with a pond and gardens. 1 city block in size. No bike riding. Gardens are not real well tended but still rather nice and peaceful. The pond has turtles and a few small bridges and gazebos.

Its a good park to go to if you want to kick back and enjoy a quick picnic on your lunch break

Lots of people out today...Very nice place to relax

Well maintained and relaxing. Good place to bring a meal and enjoy the view.

A very pretty oasis. Great place to take a book & a picnic basket to enjoy some time away

Beautiful gardens and walking paths to stroll through in the downtown area. Some parts of the garden fully accessable to wheelchairs and other equipment/needs but there are some steps/paths that are a little more narrow or just stepping stones. A great place for little ones to explore and learn how to respect nature.

Great park with lots of trees and a pond. Very few vagrants which is a nice change for Santa Barbara. We had a wedding there for $500.

Excellent park, well maintained. One of the best in Santa Barbara

Great experience for kids. Turtles come up to you and ducks also. Great paths to walk through

Pretty quiet park to walk around or picnic, trees, ducks, water turtles all nice

My toddlers love this park. The kids’ world castle is a wonderland for them.

Pretty cool and chill park.

A little piece of Heaven.This park has turtles and duckies hangin out straight Chillin literally in the pond. Blessings.

Beautiful park with large pond with tons of ducks and turtles. Across the street is as huge wood fortress playground. Great area to relax and enjoy nature.

I have walked here for years. My dog and I enjoy this park so much. I love to take photographs here, there is always something new blooming, flowering and they take such great care of the grounds. They just cleaned the pond, and it looks fresh and inviting for the fowl and the ducks. This is a beautiful oasis in the middle of town a lovely place to stroll. It has a self guided tour so you can learn about the trees and plants if you desire

Little beautiful park to spend an afternoon hussle free.

Never been here but its such a beautiful, peaceful park with a lake!

This is a lovely park, well kept, lots of diverse plantings, blooming shrubs, a pond and good birding; a whole section with playground equipment.

Turtles galore. Really just a great place to read a book or walk around and relax.

Good place to go read or just chill with who ever your with. Or sometimes alone

We released my friends turtles in this pond, its a great place to stop by and relax, look at the ducks, turtles and different plants.

Was very disappointed that the pond was so dirty and saw no koi fish. The grounds are under cared for. It could be such a wonderful park with the right care that it needs so desperately.

A beautiful place to bring the kids the dog and have a picnic. Bring bread for the ducks.

Lovely place for kids close to Downtown. If you enjoy watching ducks and turtles or have kids - you wont regret it.

Very nice gardens with a wide variety of trees and plants! We were pleasantly surprised!

I spent an hour here and loved it. There were too ma y people in my opinion so choose what time to be there wisely. If you want scenic pictures it makes it hard. Its a popular place so it attracts locals and tourists alike..

Beautiful park. With lots of area to spend a good day at. May it be for parties or just a walk. Has a duck pond that houses turtles too, just please listen to the rule of no feeding the animals

It is always a nice walk, peaceful and serene!

Super beautiful park filled with turtles geeses ducks very relaxing great for taking pics.

Quiet place with well placed benches and shade spots. Nice area, though some areas of the park appear disregarded.

Been going here since I was baby. Im happy that able to continue the tradition with my child.

Well maintained

Love seeing the abundance of mallard ducks here. The pond is also loaded with turtles that swim around in the pond and like to sunbathe. Alice Keck also has an area set up as a butterfly garden, filled with special butterfly-attracting flowers and plants, complete with several milkweed plants for monarchs.

Easily one of the most peaceful and therapeutic places to stroll through in all of santa Barbara. Just one more of santa barbaras secret gems hidden throughout the city.

Alice Keck Park has something for everyone. Amazing variety of plants, well maintained, and beautiful year round. Many animals call the park home including ducks, rabbits, turtles, butterflies, and more. Two grass areas to picnic on or relax, many benches and trash/recycling cans. Audio stations throughout the park for the visually impaired which describe the plants and scenery. Adjacent to Kids World (large castle playground) and plenty of on street parking. Convenient to downtown/state Street and local restaurants.

Great place for an evening walk.

Cool way to spend a couple of hours. The park is very relaxing. Lots of animals to see and nice paths to walk.

This is a wonderful park and a popular place for weddings and other events .

Turtles, ducks, geese and beautiful plants. Great place for a walk, to meditate and just enjoy the scenery.

Such a beautiful park. When everything is in bloom with butterflies everywhere, coyfish and turtle pond. I first saw it when i was 17, always said i wanted to get married here. So beautiful.

Beautiful park with well-manicured pathways throughout. Super fun place to play Pokemon, too! :)

Beautiful small park to walk around and enjoy

Lovely walk on spacious level trail through beautiful flowers and lake

We walked around the park this morning and I was saddened and surprised at its condition, garbage strewn and a generally down-trodden appearance.Wow, what happened?

Beautiful place to go...

I hadn’t been there but I was at the park across the street during the Solstice parade in 2007. Being from Ventura where I go to the botanical gardens above the City, this park is very special because of the variety of plants and flowers in one area. Perfect for a short stroll around. I took my 78 year old Mom and my dog.

Definitely the most well landscaped park in down. So long as youre willing to street park there is plenty of parking available. A wide variety of flora and fauna. And a great number of places to either picnic or sit in the shade of a tree and relax in the middle of downtown.

Beautiful park to visit. Has turtles and ducks. Very relaxing place to have a picnic.

I loved walking through this park on my way to work. Beautiful

My favorite park to come and read or crochet. All the flowers are so lovely and the ducks and turtles are quite fun to watch!

Great spot to relax/walk your dog. There are plenty of cool duck and turtle species in the pond as well as many different plants. The only problem is the audio tour is a little out of date as most of the plants it talked about were now gone or destroyed.

So many turtles live in the pond its fun for kids.

Beautiful city park with duck pond, turtles, and unique flowers and trees

My son and daughter-in-law got married at Alice Keck Park 10 years ago. I was there in late February with my 5-year old granddaughter while we waited for my daughter in law, who had an appt nearby. Its a nice park in old Santa Barbara, but I was a little surprised that it wasnt in better condition. The pond was nice and there were lots of ducks swimming around and turtles sunning themselves on rocks near the edge of the pond. There are lots of dirt paths that meander through the park and some of them were so rutted that I couldnt get through with the stroller. You have to watch out for tree roots, too. There are both sunny and shady areas and several benches. We were there on a Monday from 1-2pm and I didnt see any homeless folks hanging around as they are prone to do in other Santa Barbara parks. I dont mean that to be an ugly comment. It was just an observation.

Love this park! Very beautiful! Go there at sunset with your lover

Clean quite and always great people around and alot of parking

Great place to take a toddler or a dog for an adventurous walk. Lotts of little winding pathways, lovely open sunny spaces, shady spots, and park benches. Turtles and ducks, and at the right time of year, ducklings!

So much fun!!! Great playing structure, picnic tables, tons of shade and sunshine. There is another nice park across the street with a nice pond with ducks and turtles.

Beautiful tranquil spot in pristine condition .So lucky to live within a few minutes from this park. Lots of ground cover and flowering plants and trees after the good soaking over the past weeks ..get out and enjoy.

Great place to reflect.

One of my favorite places for a walk in the park.

Used to be a fun place to go. Not so great now.

Turtle pond with nice views. Lots of turtles swimming around and sun bathing

Small but peaceful and picturesque. Always a good place to chill.

Alameda Park, Century Park and Alice Keck Park Gardens, Park is Alices last name, are three nice parks. Kids World is located within these three parks. Its a great place to take your kids to play on the large wooden playground. Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens has some fascinating botanical information alongside the plants plus a pond where you can occasionally see turtles. Century Park is wide open and great for picnics. Together theyre pretty awesome for spending some time with the family.

The Duck pond park is awesome!

Awesome Park in the middle of Santa Barbara with a lot of neat plants/trees. The pond in the middle of the Park is home to numerous ducks and turtles! There is a bathroom right across the street as well which is convenient.

Small park with street parking available

Such a gem in downtown Santa Barbara, I love the plant diversity and the combo of walking paths and lawn, complete with a turtle pond. It was a gorgeous day to lounge in the park.

Very nice park

A decent park, lots of open space.

Delightful, many places to sit in the sun or shade of trees, the pond with its many ducks is a treasure.

Awesome gardens, absolutely amazing playground for the kids, and a nice picnicking area.

Beautiful grounds, good climbing trees, amazing park across the street for kids, turtle pond, peaceful.
