Alameda Park

Alameda Park located in Santa Barbara, California in the U.S., near Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens, is the location for many city-wide celebrations, including Summer Solstice [ [http://www.santabarbara.com/activities/parks/Alameda/ Santa Barbara.com Parks] ] . It is also one of the city's oldest parks [ [http://www.santabarbaraca.gov/Parks/parks_community_main.html#Alameda City of Santa Barbara - Parks & Recreation - Parks Maps - Community Parks ] ] .

Occupying two blocks, Alameda Park is home to a gazebo as well as the 8,000 square foot "Kids World" playground [ [http://www.santabarbara.com/activities/parks/Alameda/ Santa Barbara.com - Parks: Alameda Park ] ] . It also houses many rare trees.

History

In 1874 trees were planted in the park, however it quickly was overrun by weeds. It was not until a Park Board was formed in the early 1880s. In 1888 a petition was granted to erect a band or music stand in the park. In 1909 Charles Mulford Robinson stated that Alameda had a "high order of merit." [Days, M.L. (1977). Histories of individual parks Santa Barbara California. Santa Barbara, CA: City Planning Committee.] ] Superintendent, A. B. Doremus personally planted countless trees and shrubs for which the park remains famous today. A plaque was erected in his honor.
