La Chapala
Goleta Beach Have you seen a seal at the beach? I have! They frolic in the water at Goleta Beach. Dolphins also swim by the buoys. It is a fantastic place to play volleyball. The two volleyball courts are always open. I think you should have a party at Goleta Beach. There are large barbecue pits and covering awnings over picnic tables. The pier is a good place to go fishing or just walk to watch the fishermen. The people that fish are so friendly. There is a good place to swim. The best thing is the parking is free! I think you should visit the Goleta Beach and have a fun time. —Muhammad A.
My House What is the best thing in Goleta? For me, it is my house. I like my house because it has lots of video games and cozy beds. I would rather go to my house than any other place in Goleta. The other thing that makes it special is that my family is there. My family is helpful and friendly. For example, lots of the time, I can relax without anyone bothering me. My older brother is helpful and my younger one is cute. Most people feel safe and comfortable in their own

house. In Goleta, we really are safe. Our neighbors are friendly and the community is safe. I am comfortable surrounded by what I love and enjoy. —Sergio A.
El Caporal El Caporal is a mini-mart with lots of Mexican foods and goods. It also is the only place around to get some of the medicines and foods my family enjoys. It has a unique name and is fi lled with Mexicans who are devoted to their culture. It has really scrumptious food that is delicious with great prices. The joyful music that is always playing comes from different parts of Mexico. El Caporal has fresh produce. The fruits and vegetables here are important in Mexican food and are hard to find. They also sell medicine and goods like candies. When people need maize for tamales or they just want homemade tamales, they can buy them right there. When people visit the store, they feel like they are in their refrigerator or in Mexico. Mexican medicines are available, and I like them. I enjoy all the Mexican qualities El Caporal has. It makes Goleta the Good Land. —Llecenia C.N.

The Parks One thing that makes Goleta the Good Land is the parks. They are wide open green grassy places to take my little fluff y dog. They have tall branchy trees that are great for climbing. Most Goleta parks have slides, swings, sand, and a play structure. Some parks have picnic tables that are perfect to have lunch on or read a book. A few parks have special places where you can have a BBQ, play horseshoes, or even play tennis! Goleta has many fun parks that I hope you get the chance to visit. —Brittney G.
UCSB Chem Lab Do you like science and experiments? If you do, the UCSB Chem Lab is a great place for you! I could only imagine how magnificent it would be to graduate from the UCSB Chem Lab! The scientists in the Chem Lab help us with the world, getting more knowledge about the place. People who graduate from the Chem Lab can become useful scientists and improve the planet. You get to do experiments, observations,
and more. The building has a very odd design. It’s shiny and all straight without a single bump. It has a big green field where you can walk your dog or have a picnic. I am an expert on the Chem Lab because of their outreach program that let my class visit the Chem Lab for some amazing experiments. Their program that serves our community is one of the things that makes Goleta the Good land. —Daniel G.

They have Air heads, M&Ms, ice cold soda, and Slurpies. There is a mini batting cage! Baseball is a great way to have fun and exercise. Trust me; I play there. —Tyler H.
Cloud 10 Cloud 10 makes Goleta great because Cloud 10 is closer to any place in Santa Barbara than Sky High, which is in Ventura. Both these places are trampoline jump places. But Cloud 10 is the better place. Cloud 10 has more types of trampolines. It has a half pipe; it also has dodgeball. There’s a trampoline basketball court so even short people can slam dunk. For the younger kids, there’s a place just for them to jump and climb. These features make it better than Sky High. It is new, so it is fi lled with loud excited kids. If
