Parks Alliance for Sonoma County
Keeping State Parks in Sonoma County open
The Parks Alliance was created in response to the State Parks Closure announcements in May 2011 in order to address the current and planned closures of State Parks in Sonoma County. When the closures were announced, the outpouring of support from individuals, nonprofits, businesses and public agencies in the county was astounding. Our goal is to harness that energy, bringing the community together to keep the parks open and functioning at a sustainable level.
Sustainability Achievements:
Currently, we have agreements to keep 2 of the 5 parks slated for closure open, and the other three should be coming through quickly.
Sustainability Challenges:
Park operations is a difficult and expensive task - we are looking to create a new, sustainable model for thriving parks and open space in Sonoma County.
