Social Recreation Programs:
Gardening Club
Join our gardening club where we partner with UCSB's Edible Campus program to spend time outside getting our hands dirty! Participants will gain practical knowledge on how to develop and maintain garden plots, engage in hands-on volunteering, and learn valuable nutritional information about the produce they help harvest.
Movie Meet-Up
A weekly gathering to see friends, catch a new flick and grab a coffee or tea after to discuss the best parts. This program takes place at various theaters throughout the Santa Barbara and Goleta area, and films are selected by participants.
Game Night
Game Night: Cards, Boards, and Donuts!
Join our most popular group: game night where you can learn new games, refine your strategy, or play your tried-and-true favorites in a fun, facilitated social setting.
We'll have a great selection of card, dice and board games—think everything from classic favorites like Go Fish, Uno and Monopoly to popular social games like Codenames and Ticket to Ride. This is a perfect opportunity to increase your social connections and build new relationships.
And of course, we're serving up donuts to fuel your fun!
Come ready to play, laugh, and connect with friends. Whether you're a seasoned strategist or looking to try something new, there's a game for you.
Hobby and Travel Club
A weekly facilitated gathering to explore different hobbies and points of interest throughout Santa Barbara. Trips to the Botanic Garden, Sea Center and Natural History Museum are common, as are education components to learn a new skill such as painting or jewelry making.
Sports Group
Get active and connect with others in our Sports Program! Whether you want to learn a new sport or just enjoy friendly pick-up games and leisure play, we offer a variety of athletic opportunities including soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, swimming, and pickleball.
This program focuses on skill development, teamwork, and safety, including instruction on proper nutrition and water safety. You'll also have the opportunity to become a valued member of the community by developing leadership and teamwork skills, and even volunteering as an assistant coach or team helper with local organizations. Plus, enjoy scheduled and facilitated trips to attend UCSB Gaucho Sporting Events.
Yoga in the Park: Find Your Flow
Join us for a relaxing and fun-filled Yoga in the Park session! This class is designed for everyone, focusing on gentle stretching and movement, with modifications always available to meet you at your individual pace.
It's more than just yoga: we build in time for fun games (like "freeze yoga" and "how long can we hold this pose") and conversation to foster a strong social connection with the group. We start with breathing and mindfulness, move through beginner poses, and always end with something you're grateful for.
Come find your inner peace and connect with your community in a beautiful park setting. Everyone is welcome to stretch, move, and smile together.
