A nearly century old outdoor dance floor on the South Coast is getting a long needed makeover.
Santa Barbara’s Oak Park Dance floor was originally built in 1926 by the Campbell family, for a party honoring England’s Price George. In the 1940’s, it was auctioned off. A farmer bought it, and moved it to Oak Park.
It’s been used for dance and fitness activities for the last eight decades.
It will be rebuilt, with damaged wood replaced, new waterproofing for the entire structure, and new handrails added.
The work is set to start next week, with the dance floor being out of commission for about two months while it’s being restored.
