Elings Park is the largest privately funded park in the U.S. More than twice the size of Disneyland, this scenic gem features sweeping ocean views and picturesque oak groves, and has been Santa Barbara’s gathering place for recreation, the arts, nature, and inspiration since 1985. Its mission is made possible by community donations, as this treasured one-of-a-kind green space receives no government funding whatsoever. Elings Park is free and open to the public 365 days a year.
