REad all about it
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.
We’re thrilled to announce a transformative moment for our community: the State of California has allocated $2 million in the 2025–26 budget to support the Petaluma River Park Foundation’s first phase of development. This historic investment affirms the River Park’s role in restoring the Petaluma River, expanding access, and ensuring long-term stewardship for generations to come.
