Lions Park features a log cabin style lodge, a gazebo, and an expansive lawn surrounded by trees. The venue includes a commercial kitchen, a dedicated bridal dressing room, and a barbecue area suitable for various event styles.
Lions Park is a historic public space in Carpinteria situated at the base of the foothills. The grounds consist of two acres featuring a cedar lodge with open-beam ceilings and a wraparound porch, alongside a separate picnic area. The property is characterized by an expansive lawn framed by tall trees and a gazebo.
You can host a ceremony at the lodge steps or within the gazebo. For the reception, you might choose to move the celebration inside the lodge, which accommodates up to 160 guests, or remain outdoors on the lawn or in the barbecue area for up to 200 guests. The venue includes a commercial kitchen and a full bar, though all alcohol must be served from the Lions Club bar. A bridal dressing room is also available for the wedding party to prepare.
The park offers various backdrops for portraits, from the rustic textures of the cedar lodge to the greenery of the surrounding trees. The lawn provides wide-open space for group shots, while the gazebo and the lodge porch offer structured architectural elements for more intimate moments.
