Santa Barbara County is planning for parks, recreation, open space, and trails.
Thank you to everyone who took our survey! Check back for other opportunities to stay involved.

What is the Recreation Master Plan?

Access to recreation is an essential part of sustainable communities. Our parks build community, provide space for physical activity, benefit the local economy, and foster environmental conservation. The Recreation Master Plan will guide development of new parks, trails, and recreational facilities in your community. This means more opportunities for you to get outside and play or have fun indoors. The Master Plan will address recreation needs throughout Santa Barbara County and plan for parks, sports fields and courts, trails, campgrounds, aquatic and community centers, bike paths, equestrian facilities, and much more in your community.

The Recreation Master Plan will take shape through the following steps in 2021 - 2022.
