The north side of the park is built on top of the old, now-closed Santa Barbara City dump. The park's grand opening was in 1985, and it has changed names several times: at first it was "Las Positas Park," in 1991 it became "Las Positas Friendship Park," and in 1999, in honor of more than two million dollars given by Virgil Elings and his family, the park was renamed "Elings Park."
