Improvements to Include a New Playground

A neighborhood park in Goleta is under construction and is expected to be completed in the spring. Mathilda Park is located on the top of a hill in western Goleta at 311 Mathilda Drive. The improvements include upgrades designed to improve accessibility, functionality, and sustainability at the park.

Planned improvements include:

• Replacement of the existing playground equipment
• Installation of defined turf areas
• Drought-tolerant landscaping
• Drainage improvements
• Adjustments to the walkway alignment to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements

Construction activities are scheduled to take place Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. While every effort will be made to minimize impacts to nearby residents, temporary disruptions may occur during construction.

Please note that the construction schedule is subject to change due to weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances. The City appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation during this project.
