REad all about it
Look who made the front page of the Argus Courier’s Community Section—how apropos! Community Editor David Templeton joined us at the River Park to experience first-hand what we already know: there’s nothing like it for a downtown walk in nature with good company, ever-changing flora and fauna, and ”nothing short of spectacular” views!
The American Planning Association recently featured us in The Art of Listening: How Creativity Helped Shape Petaluma River Park, highlighting our Poets to Parkmakers community engagement activities, how art as a planning method can reveal what more traditional methods miss, and more.
Thank you to Food Editor Sara Deseran and SF Standard for including Petaluma River Park in the recent story about Petaluma as an eating destination and so much more!
Culture Critic Peter Hartlaub featured the park in the San Francisco Chronicle cover story: Top 15 of the Bay Area’s Best-Kept Secrets. We made the curated and coveted cut thanks to the trail and its unique views of our beloved and historic Petaluma.
