Description

Alice Keck Park donated this gorgeous property to the City Santa Barbara to be used as a public garden. The Park takes up an entire block from Michetorena to Santa Barbara Streets from Garden to Arrellaga Streets. Grant Castleberg was selected to design the Park in 1976. Grant is a well known local Landscape Architect. Alice "intended for her garden to be a place for ordinary people to take a nature-break for the soul, a brown bag picnic lunch, or a few moments of solitude." At her request, the garden design is informal in nature and designed for passive recreation. "This enchanting garden has no playgrounds, no athletic fields, and none of the busyness of most city parks, yet year after year it is voted Santa Barbara's favorite". Plants are labeled and there is a free 'take away' list on the property of over 250 species as a field guide for the casual visitor and a valuable tool for gardeners and horticulturalists. Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens is a naturalist’s paradise.
