Petaluma River Park
A SHARED SPACE FOR PEOPLE, ART, AND NATURE IN BEAUTIFUL SONOMA COUNTY
A Park for Now, a Park for the Future
Today, Petaluma River Park is open daily in its raw and magical state. And our eyes are on tomorrow. Together with the community, the Petaluma River Park Foundation is on a mission to restore our riverfront habitat and transform it into a vibrant, welcoming public park that unifies our community for generations to come.
A natural refuge in the city, Petaluma River Park is a public park located on the Petaluma riverfront in the heart of downtown Petaluma, CA. It’s free and open daily from dawn to dusk.

A PLACE FOR EVERYONE
At Petaluma River Park, we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and accessible outdoor place that enriches the lives of all residents and visitors to Petaluma. We know that only a park built by all can become a place for all. Read about efforts to ensure that equity is central throughout the River Park’s planning, development, and operations.
We are actively engaging community members of all ages and backgrounds in our programs and planning process.
“Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach.”
