Kids are love this downtown park. It's home to Kids World, the best playground in town! There's are swings and slides and towers and turrets, there's even a large spectator area for parents. The rest of the park is nice, too. Trees punctuate the green space, and a gazebo shelters musicians who play when the weather's warm. Alameda Park is an ideal destination for a lazy afternoon spent reading or napping in the sun or, alternatively, playing a fun pick-up soccer game with friends. Picnicking areas and restrooms are available, and the park often hosts large city celebrations and events. Santa Barbara's Earth Day and Summer Solstice festivals are held here.
