Master Plan
The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation & Open Space District approved a $1,000,000 Matching Grant for the City of Santa Rosa to design and construct two multipurpose, all-weather athletic fields and a nature pavilion at A Place to Play Community Park. The City will provide the matching funds to design and develop the park amenities. In exchange for the funding, the City will place a conservation easement and recreation covenant over the property to ensure the park remains open to the public for recreational and educational uses for perpetuity.
To the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation & Open Space District
In September 2020, the City applied for a grant to design and construct two multipurpose, all-weather athletic fields and a nature pavilion at A Place to Play Community Park. Additionally, the grant would formalize the trail network around the duck pond and the connection to the Santa Rosa Creek trail. All of these elements are part of the approved park master plan and were supported by the community in November 2019. The multipurpose fields would be striped for soccer, baseball and softball. Amenities to support the multipurpose fields are also part of the grant application and include paved pathways, hydration stations, spectator seating, lighting infrastructure, trash and recycling receptacles, dugouts and fencing.
The grant requires a one-to-one match. The total project cost of both design and construction is estimated to be $4 million; therefore, the City is seeking $2 million from the Matching Grant Program. The City is awaiting a decision from the District regarding the application.
