Santa Barbara parkjai és kertjei

Parks and Gardens

Santa Barbara’s landscapes transition from coastal bluffs to the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains. This collection includes the Ganna Walska Lotusland estate and the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, which focuses exclusively on California native flora. Historic sites like El Presidio and Mission Historical Park preserve Spanish colonial remnants, while Shoreline Park and the Douglas Family Preserve provide elevated views of the Pacific Ocean for whale watching. The Andree Clark Bird Refuge offers a 42-acre habitat for local and migratory species.
