Sea Lookout Park- The largest ocean-side park, this wide grassy stretch on Del Playa serves as a picnic spot and play area for hundreds of people a day. The volleyball court is popular for large and small groups alike and the wooden structures provide a nice place to look out over the ocean. Sea Lookout Park was developed by landscape artist Lloyd Hamrol, although it is still referred to fondly today as “Dog Sh-- Park”-a name which reflects its primary use as an empty lot throughout the 70s and 80s. Sea Lookout Park also has a plaque commemorating The Isla Vista Tree—a huge cypress hanging over the ocean that became a symbol of Isla Vista’s quest for self-governance. When the tree fell into the ocean, residents fought for the plaque to honor its importance to the people.
