In the Quality of Life Business
What does it mean to have a high quality of life?
If I surveyed every resident in Rohnert Park, I bet that I would get thousands of different definitions that are all uniquely special to the own set of circumstances, experiences, and visions of the owners they came from. You can imagine under that frame of thinking why it might be challenging to work in the “quality of life” business.
And yet, here we are, a mighty team of 15 fulltime employees striving to bring a high quality of life to the residents of our “Friendly City” through memorable community experiences. Fortunately, the members of the Community Services team come from an array of backgrounds and have a variety of experiences that shape their own opinions of quality of life. We also have the extremely fortunate position in this City to have a large number of experiential amenities including:
• Rohnert Park Community Center
• Callinan Sports and Fitness Center
• Spreckels Performing Arts Center
• Rohnert Park Animal Shelter
• Burton Avenue Recreation Center
• Gold Ridge Recreation Building
• Rohnert Park Senior Center
• Three Community Pools
• Dozens of Tennis Courts
• 12 Pickleball Courts
• A variety of outdoor basketball courts
• A Massive Park system including playgrounds, sports fields, and open space
We are fortunate to have this landscape to meet so many residents where they are in their journey to live a full life. Our goal is to provide a little bit of something for everyone through fitness, recreation, the arts, animals, events, and open

space. Whether it’s your routine morning swim, the cultural experience of a live theater performance, the companionship found at the animal shelter, or the camaraderie on the courts, we aim to create opportunities for joy, growth, and connection.
In addition to these physical amenities, we are dedicated to fostering a sense of community through events and programs that bring people together. Our community-based special events offer residents the chance to connect with neighbors, celebrate our shared culture, and create lasting memories. The diverse programming we offer is designed to cater to all age groups and interests, ensuring that everyone in our community can find something that resonates with them.
Our commitment to quality of life extends beyond just providing facilities and events; it’s about creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued. We continuously seek feedback from our residents to improve and expand our offerings. We believe that by listening to our community, we can better serve their needs and enhance their quality of life.
If you are reading this and you have yet to find something that is offered through the Community Services Department that has in some way helped improve the quality of your life, I am sending this blog to you as my personal invitation to come meet with me at the Rohnert Park Community Center and share your thoughts and ideas with me. We are always eager to learn from our community and continuously evolve to meet your needs. Together, we can ensure that Rohnert Park remains a vibrant and welcoming place for all.
