There’s a new fitness program in town, the City of Santa Barbara Parks and Recreation Department announced today. Fitness at the Rec, a partnership between the Department and Sweat SB Fitness, will be a membership-based program at the Carrillo Recreation Center in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara.

Join us for a volunteer workday on State Trails Day—Saturday, April 6—that will focus on restoring areas of our trails network damaged by the Thomas Fire and subsequent debris flow and rains. This year’s rains have added to continued wear on the trails. The trail work this year will be at Hot Springs Trail and Romero Trail.

Parks and Rec summer camps open for registration on Friday, March 1!

The Dwight Murphy Field Master Plan will be reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission next Wednesday, December 12 at 4:00 p.m. in City Council chambers at City Hall, 735 Anacapa Street.

The Off-Leash Dog Area at MacKenzie Park will provide a new recreation area for residents and their dogs to socialize and exercise within a fenced enclosure. The Off-Leash Dog Area will be located at the eastern end of the park near State Street.
