"Alice Keck Memorial Garden, Santa Barbara by Amanda Proudfit. Alice Keck Park, aka turtle park. Come here to enjoy a nice walk around the grounds, check out the variety of flowers and plant life, and to see some (a lot!) of turtles, ducks and the occasional heron in the pond in the middle of the park. Meander around the walkway that goes around the whole park, there are plenty of hidden little nooks and benches where you can steal away a nice quiet moment to yourself. This park also borders Alameda Park, where you can enjoy even more open space and a rather large playground for the kids."
