Alameda Park Bandstand Repair Project

closed

A designated City Landmark, the Alameda Park Bandstand was originally built in 1888 after residents petitioned for its creation to provide the public with a place for entertainment. While the 135-year-old structure still stands at the heart of one of Santa Barbara’s most widely used downtown parks, several structural repairs are needed to ensure the Bandstand can continue to serve as a beloved community resource and landmark. The Alameda Park Bandstand Repair project will revive one of Santa Barbara’s oldest and most idyllic entertainment venues for the community to enjoy again. The project includes the replacement of the structure’s roof, ceiling, floor, stair treads, and steel guardrail supports. Seismic and waterproofing improvements will also be made to extend the longevity of the repairs. After structural repairs have been completed, the Bandstand will be repainted to match the existing colors. No changes will be made to the structure's unique Folk Victorian craftsmanship and architectural details.
