SAGGIOHILLSDEVELOPMENT PARKNAMED
On Oct. 21, 2024, Healdsburg City Council voted to name the future park in the Saggio Hills Development after Laura Fish Somersal. Laura Fish Somersal was a Native American woman, a worldfamous basket maker, a national leader, linguist (Pomo and Wappo languages) and educator of California Indian culture. Somersal was a lifelong resident of northern Sonoma County and dedicated much of her life to preserving local Native culture and language. This is the first park in Healdsburg to be named after a woman, person of color and Native American.
Laura Fish Somersal (1892-1990)
The Saggio Hills Development future park, located in the northern foothills of the Parkland Farms neighborhood. The park will connect to Healdsburg Ridge Open Space Preserve.

Find out what happened to the Japanese families who lived here… many of whom came back to stay after the war. Hear about the many roles women took to help the war effort including planting Victory Gardens, staffing a hospitality house for soldiers, selling war bonds and more.
