We love this park because usually this park is not too crowded. We had a picnic there but that day our food was attacked by aggressive yellow jackets. If you see wasps flying around when you visit, I suggest you don’t take your food out! You will like the shade the mature trees will offer you and you will love the bench that faces out to the Pacific Ocean. There is a nice open area for kids to play as well as playground area they would enjoy after the pandemic.

Came here to get the family out of the house. Decent size park. Kids play place Currently closed due to covid. Nice view of the ocean. Clean and fresh air. There is a parking lot here and street parking

Such a lovely little place. I liked it better than other parks in Santa Barbara because its less crowded and it made me feel it was a hidden gem. You have to be careful with the entrance though. Its very narrow.

Beautiful view but gophers have taken over. Watch your step

A hidden gem, check out the view from the footbridge that connects to El Camino de la Luz!

I love La Mesa Park, there are wonderful shady spots to relax, with beautiful views of the Pacific, places to bbq and children to have fun, and restrooms are open daily which is a blessing in these tough times

Great park with views of the ocean, plenty of glass to run around on, and dog friendly.

Is a safe and clean place to take your kids

Amazing park for family or friends! Dogs all over! Keep them on a leash though.

Family not allowed to picnic and have lunch on the open fields. We got lots of dirty looks from the locals at the park. We where a party of six with four kids.Two locals where smoking medicinal marijuana. A local with a man-buns hair practicing yoga.

This is a very nice park, not a whole lot of parking but plenty on the street, hiking trail, bathroom, playground (no shade from sun at the playground), grills (need to be reserved), lota of grass (bring a blanket and small umbrella... The only downfall is all the dogs, most of them are off leash since people take them hiking. Lots of dogs get lost in this area.

Family and kid friendly

Fun relaxing park $#$#$

Lovely little park with a lot of open space

Great park on the bluffs above the ocean. Parking lot is small, but theres a good amount of street parking. The playground is large. Lots of grassy spots for a picnic and group picnic areas. Park extends to many natural trees and groves to explore, but watch out for poison oak! Even if its a busy day, its still easy to find a quiet spot. There is a bathroom, but its pretty old.

Park is wonderful and beautiful but party goers children teens did this late-night.

A park and green space right next to the water.

Nice place for a walk

Lacking share in the playground area, but lots of room to play and explore

Love all the Mesa comunity activity that happens in this park.

Love itit has limited access to the ocean, but a lovely quit place

Great bbq area!

Really cool park

Best loitering park in the area

Great place for kids to play and have a party. The view of the ocean is amazing

Very nice, clean attractive park

Celebrated my God daughters sons 1st birthday and baptism here over the weekend. Park was nice, clean the area was big, parking was okay. The bathroom was the only complaint I heard. It was filthy.

Great park for kids. Open spaces plus a nice playground.

Dog friendly, clean, beautiful views. Lots of stairs to get down, but worth it, especially for the dog! Everyones dogs were very well behaved, and if there was an accident, it was picked up right away! There are bags provided at the top of the stairs for said bio-matter. Once on the beach, if you walk North a bit, theres a restaurant, no dogs allowed, and an exterior snack shack.Note that it is street parking, and smaller cars would have better luck, we got the one place big enough for a pickup.

Went down on my woman for the first time at this park in the moonlight, very romantic! No joke it was beautiful!

Its a great family park. We have our annual family reunion there. Limited parking is the only reason I didnt give it 5 stars.

A hidden gem. With access points in two directions and a surprisingly nice walking area (including a nice bridge crossing into a nearby neighborhood) this is a great, quiet spot popular with locals, not tourists.

Great to take the kids, workout in the shade away from busy shoreline park. Trails lead along coast are beautiful. Beach access

Great local park with lots of open space, beautiful ocean view, large group area with BBQ, a big playground with swings, and a public restroom.

Meditate, workout, yogify, go !!!

Beautiful views but very packed and not much room to walk your animals

Awesome park with great views and play structure dogs welcome parking is a bit tight.

Great park for kids of all ages. My son, 3 and a half loves this park, we come here several times a week. Large playground, BBQ Pit, tables and restrooms. Secluded and quite, even though its right in town.

Beautiful views well maintained

It is a really cute and small park, part of the Mesa community. It has restrooms, barbeque area that has to be reserved in advance, a nice playground for kids, and good amount of grass to play with your pets. There are many benches to observe nature, or sunsets.

Clean, quiet, amazing view, fun for kids.
