coyotes that roam around in the field. German shepherds can be extraordinary house pets. Some even love kids! They can be found at almost any dog breeder online. Now you can see from my point of view what makes Goleta the Good Land. —Keira W.
Goleta Beach Have you ever been to Goleta Beach? Goleta Beach is one of the best. The Goleta Beach Park is a fun place to visit. The variety of boats in the ocean are interesting to look at. People talk and play on the beach. The Goleta beach is a part of what makes Goleta be the Good Land. —Christian A.
Goleta Beach When you go to Goleta Beach, you’ll hear waves crashing and seagulls screeching. You will also smell the salty seawater when you arrive. The sand is warm and toasty when you step on it, and the water is cold and icy when you put your feet in. If you boogie board or surf, the water may taste salty. I love
boogie boarding and surfing. Sailboats can drift calmly across the water. I love Goleta Beach. You should go to Goleta Beach and you might admire it, too. —Taylyn B.
Girsh Park Girsh Park is a very unique park that is owned and operated by a foundation. Girsh Park is located north of Santa Barbara in the heart of Goleta, California. What I like about Girsh Park is the playground area, the nice green grass, the wonderful basketball courts, the amazing fields and soccer fields. Additionally, I really enjoy this park even just to sit on the grass and rest. There is also a dog area for dogs to run around the grass, as well. We all enjoy Girsh Park. —Eric B.
Goleta Beach Goleta Beach is a beautiful sight. If you are lucky, you will see dolphins swimming playfully in the waves. The waves are always great for playing in. If you look far enough, you will see the Channel Islands. The hot
wind will blow on your face as you’re walking on the burning sand, and after you’ve played under the hot sun you can easily jump into the cool waters. Goleta Beach is a great place to be because Goleta is the Good Land. —Isabella B.
The UCSB Baseball Team One thing I love about Goleta is the UCSB Baseball Team, because they are excellent. Plus, I also like baseball. I really like to see a batter hit off of an amazing pitcher or a batter hit a home run, or even see a pitcher strike three people out in a row. When I walk into the stadium, I feel nice in the shade. The stadium is gigantic and full of people. The hot dog stand, jersey stand, and candy stand are all on the side. When I get there, I buy snacks like a hot dog and a drink, and then I find a seat. Then I sit back and watch the game. —Kai C.
The Recent Storm Was that thunder!? Is that rain!? Was that a deadly fork of purple lightning?!? We are experiencing a drought in Goleta, so the recent rains in Goleta were refreshing. The cloudy Goleta skies looked beautiful to me. The cold temperatures cooled the Goleta air. The comforting rain freshened Goleta plant life, including yummy citrus, after the drought. Be thankful for the recent, rare rain. I felt happy. — Evan D.
Lemon Festival When you get to the Lemon Festival you walk on the grass going down a hill at Girsh Park. You walk down and you see lemon trees planted

in pots and see all the stands that you can eat and drink at. You can hear the loud music while you’re walking down. When you’re at the stands, you get to touch the lemons that feel bumpy. You can smell the lemonade and the lemon pie. When you leave, you can still smell the lemons. I honestly love the lemon pie. —Samantha D.
Goleta Beach I hear waves crashing and seagulls screeching as I arrive at Goleta Beach. My family and I make sand castles in the fluff y, velvety sand. The smell of sea salt fi lls my body and makes me joyful. I remember when I found this huge, iridescent abalone shell. The Goleta beach is a gold mine of shells. The cool, refreshing water is fun to swim in and catch slimy seaweed. Once I found an immense, grayishbrown sea lion a yard away from the shore. He twirled and fl ipped in the water. After the long day, we walk along the shore and watch the beautiful pinks and oranges of the sunset dance through the sky. —Kira D.
UCSB Campus The UCSB campus is a superb place to be any day of the week. The art museum there is a fantastic place to go. The art is strange and mixed in reds and blues. The pool is a marvelous place to go on warm sunny days. You can relax, play, and swim. Last, but not least, there is the wide, green, and dusty baseball field. It is a great place to go.
