Construction is in progress on the City of Goleta’s newest community park! The park is located on four acres in Old Town at Hollister and Kellogg Avenues. Check out our behind-the-scenes videos (November 2, September 18 and August 8) to see the progress on this park. We anticipate it being open to the public in early spring 2019.
At the City Council meeting on October 16, 2018, the park was given the name Jonny D. Wallis Neighborhood Park. Named after one of one of the City of Goleta’s founders and an advocate of Old Town, parks and open space, Goleta’s newest park will be an asset for all members of the community. Its wide range of amenities will appeal to all ages. Those amenities include a multi-purpose field, basketball court, handball court, concrete ping-pong table, bocce ball court, pickleball court, playground area, perimeter walking path, fitness nodes with exercise equipment, picnic areas and skateboard plaza.

Edhat calls the apartments across the street from this park “Goleta Senior Apartments” (in an article about a gas leak). Here are those senior apartments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUz-o8BqR3s
Goleta has a gang problem. Those that actually have to live in it are too afraid to speak up. This park is going to be a disaster.
