For a beautiful Sunday, I was grateful the park wasnt overly crowded. All the parents, grandparents, and so on had their masks on the children had fun sharing the space and all seemed to not cluster. We had a so.fearful morning playing in the park, climbing ladders, going down slides, and swinging on swings.

The dog park is in the very back of the park. Follow the road until it ends then walk to the end of the side walk.The Dog park is what I visited this park for. It doesnt have much grass and for the most part is fine dirt. It does have water available for the dogs. And there is a dog wash machine I have never seen before. But sure looks cool, its by the restrooms. The park itself seems like a fun place to walk and bbq during the winter months. Play grounds are scattered throughout.

Tuckers Grove Park is a freaking awesome park!!! I was initially going to give it 4 stars because there was no water running in the streams as described on sites referencing Tuckers Grove Park; however, remembered this is California and clean, potable water is definitely a limited resource here unlike in Colorado where you can literally just put your cup up to a mountain and drink. The parking lot is a very good walk in and of itself as far as getting in steps or having a good 30 minutes of exercise in just incase you show up and there are so many folks that you dont feel comfortable walking in the park itself and would rather just walk the lot.

Beautiful oak trees and plenty of benches and restrooms are always clean. Family playground and fantastic dog park

Very family friendly park with play area for kids, horse shoes, bbq pits, restrooms, and trails to walk. Theres also a cool marker commending the support from Toba City Japan for their help in restoring vegetation after the Paint Fire!

Still a wonderful place to get away from things. In 50+ yrs of enjoyment,ive seen some changes to the Park but still an execellant green space to get away to.

Great easy hiking trail that makes about a 3 mile loop traveling along a rock/dirt path which criss crosses the seasonal river, and is regularly shaded by oaks. Theres a large regular lawn park area as well with several sections for different groups to play/loiter in, and Ive observed structures which are likely restrooms.Beware stickers on long haired dogs!.. The fox tail like sticker which are common in the area will burrow deeper and deeper into paw, or ear canal. I strongly recommend closely shaving any long/curly haired Santa Barbara canines. There did not seem to be any goats head stickers, or other hazardous stickers.This is snake country, so keep an eye out for rattlers sun bathing along the path. Theyll wander away when they see you, but if you dont notice each other until you step on them, its going to be a bad day.

Nice shady parking spots for lunch. Walks and biking in several locations.

This is a great public park. There are playground equipment for multiple age groups. There are a variety of hiking trails and restroom facilities. You can reserve picnic areas.

Hardly anyone was wearing a mask, and they werent keeping their distance either. Stay away until people start behaving responsibly again.

This park has great walking trails, a dog park with a doggy wash and plenty of shade to picnic.

Nice park to have a picnic at. Clean and lots of trees for shade.

Very grovey! Dont get Tuckered out!

Gorgeous. Make sure you walk passed the dog areas towards the creek. You can then walk along the creek for a long time with beautiful scenery. Very serene and mostly flat, so easy to do for all skill levels. Shaded so bring a light jacket early morning or late afternoon in winter

Been coming here since I was a kid. Nothing but great memories happen here

It was a great day, not too hot.My husband, three of our kids and their significant others did a responsible, socially distanced hike with masks.Everyone we encountered, on the hike, was socially respectful.My daughter is five months pregnant and it was easy enough, for her to tackle.

Church gathering, & wheather was beautiful!

Ample space to physically distance...nice trail for all abilities.

I had a tremendous time today with a friend.I shared a special moment and believe that. All like myself would have a great day with memories to build. Atmosphere was awesome with spectacular mountain views. For pictures or for self own interests and for a peace of mind and quiet too..I to had the privilege of being at Tuckers Grove Park.For living in Santa Barbara for 10 years now, I cannot believe I havent been there.Im saying this to dog owners and those who enjoy the great out doors. I highly recommend everyone to visit Tuckers Grove. 5 Stars * * * * *

Nice trail, but very poor compliance with the mask mandate on the trail and in the playgrounds

Great park with beautiful creekside trails

Always awesome. Great place for the kids to play and meet other kids. Never have issues with the other people there. Even the restrooms are extremely clean for a park restroom open to the public. Its a gem of Santa Barbara.

There was an immense amount of pot holes . i almost snapped an ankle

The off leash dog park can be hard to find. You go up the road to a big white gate in Kiwanis meadow. You walk around the gate up the hill and to the left and in the back is the dog park. It is very dirt filled with a little grass but it is quite large.

Turn around point for my six mile run, always glad to be beyond the halfway point.

Excellent park! Wonderful trails, picnic areas (reservations required at many), playgrounds at tge front & trail head and a dog park with dog wash!

Love this park! Its easy to find. There is plenty of parking, two playgrounds, a dog park and in case thsts not enough theres a nice easy trail to go for a hike.

Tuckers Grove is a locals park. It has several large picnic areas for group events and parties. There is plenty of parking.If you take the road all the way to the back at ends at Kiwanis Grove where there is a popular dog park and many people take advantage of it.This is also the trailhead for a nice hike. It takes about an hour round trip if youre hiking at a quick pace. The trail crosses a couple of streams which when theres water you have to rock hop across. Part of the trail is under a canopy of trees. There is a variety of flowering plants.This is also a trail that is popular for cyclists. Not all the cyclists use a bell so you need to be on the alert for oncoming bikes.So when youre looking to get out and only have a limited amount of time to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors Tuckers Grove is a great option for a hike.

A nice park with some picnic spots, a dog park, and a few trails that lead up towards the San Marcos open space. I wish the trail system was a bit more expansive, but its nice for what it is.

Such a beautiful place to go!

Nice, fun short bike ride!

Nice park. Its easy to find because it crosses the end the turnpike.

Big park lots of running trails

This park has it all,.. And the hike to the dam is perfect for me and my girlfriend

Lots to do for everyone and age. The park just keeps going and going.

This park is awesome. Kids love it, it has a lot to offer. I wish they had more banches around the playground, for lazy parents like me :))))

Great park but google needs to change the entrance location to 4800 Cathedral Oaks Santa Barbara CA 93111. The entrance to the park right now is the emergency exit and cars have to constantly drive back around and enter from turnpike.

Peaceful. Hidden. Lots of trees.

It has a nice mountain bike trail to the right to the and of the park

One of the largest parks in SB, boasting many group picnic areas, playgrounds, hiking trails, and bathrooms.

The men who take care of the park probably have a thankless job in a lot of ways. So I have a great deal of compassion for them. At the same time I have only had negative encounters with them whenever I go there. Which is strange since I am generally just minding my own business and not doing anything out of the ordinary. Its almost as if they see a young female alone and see me as the perfect person to take their frustrations out on.Id like to say there has been an exception to this but so far it has not been the case. One care taker in particular borders on creepy with the level of hostility he seems to have towards me or possibly park goers.Beyond that its a nice piece of land and always has been. I have been going there since I was a little girl. Born and raised in Santa Barbara I am quite familiar with all of the parks in Santa Barbara County. I always dress running into the guys at Tuckers Grove.Im not sure what other parks they manage however. Im also not sure who to contact about their behavior. I suppose this review is a start!

Nice trails for a mellow experience. Will definitely visit again.

My daughter and I call Tuckers Grove superpark... Its awesome!

Nice park, oodles of parking, many options. I see it more as an old school park, but its good.

Great little park. Kind of secluded great to park and hike around or walk the dogs.

Love this park....grew up having my birthday parties there pretty much every year until I was a teenager.

Best park for shade

Its so beautiful here.

Where we always have pur bday parties. Ranger is always nice.

I loved this park growing up, Ive had many birthday parties here. There is a nice size play ground for the kiddos, as well as big fields to run around in. There are hiking trails that take you up in the mountains which is nice. Its a great hike for beginners!BBQ pits are available for small parties and large. This is also a regular space where locals can relax on their lunch breaks. Certainly one of my favorite places to enjoy my lunch!There is also a large dog park area with fencing, perfect for some healthy puppy exercise!!

Love running here and going past the doggos. Many doge. Do recommend.

Rented for my grad party and accidentally put the wrong date for the reservationThe ranger was so kind and was able to find us another spot to use. He even offered to use his gator to help us carry supplies from the car!

Theres a large grassy area, a track for matchbox cars that the kids absolutely love, and you can climb up the hill in the back as an adventure for little kids.

Well maintained and cared for park, access to San Antonio Trail.

Great swimming hole under the bridge at the entrance

Great clean park. Clean restrooms.

Great dog park and playgrounds for kids. Also has a very easy hike to 154 along San Antonio Creek.

Great place for hiking, birthday parties, kids and dogs. There is a great hiking trail you can take that will take you nearly endlessly up into the mountains. There is also a large play ground for kids at the front entrance and lots of areas for party reservations. Towards the far back there is a dog designated area which is fenced in so you can allow your dogs to roam free.

Great park for the community. Free parking. Pretty clean bathrooms.

Tuckers grove has to be one of the best parks in Goleta, there are several playgrounds, hiking trails, places to barbecue and picnic benches, several bathrooms with easy access for handicapped individuals. Kiwanis Meadows on the exact opposite side of the park grounds is a place where you can take dogs as well.

Great place for a family reunion.

Beautiful park, lots of barbecue and picnic areas, off leash dog park.

Great place to picnic and get together with friends!

This is my go to place when I need to just relax and enjoy the scenery. Beautiful park!

Like ever other open air facility in Santa Barbara, just an awesome place to go to for an afternoons walk at the park. I saw many dog owners walking on several trails with their pets on the leash.

The best park in Santa Barbara park rangers are SUPER NICE
