Alameda Park located in Santa Barbara, California, in the U.S., adjoining Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens, is the location for many citywide celebrations, including Summer Solstice.[2] It is also one of the city's oldest parks.[3]

Occupying two blocks, Alameda Park is home to a gazebo as well as the 8,000-square-foot (740 m2) Kids World playground.[4] It also has many rare trees.

The Canary Island Date Palms in East Alameda Plaza are estimated to have been planted between 1910 and 1925.[5]
