A comprehensive list of changes to services and Parks and Recreation Department site closures related to COVID-19.

Picnic areas are now closed and group activities in City of Santa Barbara parks are prohibited.

The Parks and Recreation Department, in partnership with FoodBank of Santa Barbara County, offers food distributions to the community at several locations.

Santa Barbara Golf Club, the City of Santa Barbara’s municipal golf course, is closed until further notice.

Due to reduced staff availability and increased need for staff in parks that see higher use, Franceschi Park, Hilda McIntyre Ray Park, and Skofield Park are now closed. At this time, all other City of Santa Barbara parks remain open during their normal hours of sunrise to a half hour after sunset.
