W E LCO M E Dear Friends & Neighbors, As this Spring/Summer guide arrives in your mailboxes and at locations across Santa Rosa, there’s still a nip in the air. Soon, there will be spring flowers in our parks and along our trails, fresh water in our lakes for fishing and swimming, and a host of activities where you can get fit, have fun, and soak up the sun this summer!

Inside this guide, you will find ideas to keep everyone in the family happy and busy as the days grow longer and warmer. This year, like every other, we look forward to teaching over 4,000 children to swim, hosting the largest adult softball league in Northern California, and providing opportunities for seniors to be active and engaged in our community. In fact, the newly added Senior programs at Steele Lane Community Center are growing more popular every day!

If you have a tiny tot in the house, please see fun and enriching programs beginning on page 12. Parents of school age kids, register early for spring and summer camps—they fill up fast! Teens will want to check out our work experience program for a summer that’s truly transformative! Adults of all ages can choose from health and fitness classes, sports leagues, social events, and all kinds of activities to explore a hobby or learn something new.

In 2019, we look forward to fulfilling our mission to: Create Community through People, Parks and Programs. It’s our honor to serve you and our pleasure to have fun with you! Please join us…

Creating Community through People, Parks & Programs

Community Centers Finley and Steele Lane are hubs for community gathering; take a class, host an event, and find emergency shelter. Pools From master swimmers to our youngest ‘Tad Poles,’ Ridgway and Finley pools offer crystal clear water to exercise, learn and play. Parks Enjoy playgrounds, sports fields, lakes, trails and more in Santa Rosa’s 70+ parks! Trees Relax in the shade and breathe the fresh air of 72,000 public area trees! Youth Services With ‘Neighborhood Services’, children at-risk find a safe place, healthy activities and positive role models. Special Destinations Play golf in Bennett Valley, visit a pioneer cemetery or smell the roses in Luther Burbank’s world-famous garden.
