GOLETA, CA, April 30, 2024 – Construction continues on the long-awaited Splash Pad at the Jonny D. Wallis Neighborhood Park (170 S. Kellogg), leading to some closures. Here’s what you need to know. The park, playground, parking lot and toilets will close from tomorrow, May 1^st. The field, running perimeter and fitness equipment remain accessible to pedestrians only. The skate park will open again on Saturday, May 4^e. The project team will work hard to reopen the affected areas as soon as it is safe to do so. As the construction project enters this crucial phase, portions of the park will be intermittently closed to the public to meet construction needs. We will keep you informed.

Although this project has been postponed several times due to supply chain issues and other unexpected challenges, the city hopes to have the Splash Pad open sometime this summer. Once completed, the highly anticipated recreational attraction will nestle between the basketball court and one of the picnic shelters.

The City of Goleta appreciates your support and patience as the project progresses. If you have any questions, please contact JoAnne Plummer, Parks and Recreation Manager at 805-562-5505 or visit the project page on the City’s website at www.cityofgoleta.org.
