Background

New fire-resilient steel bridge on Oakwood Trail in Foothill Regional Park

Project Funding

In 2021, Parks received a $500,000 grant from Kaiser Permanente to assist with their effort to rebuild and renovate the park. The renovations and improvements focus on “climate adaptive design” to make the park more resilient to future wildfires and offer greater protection to surrounding neighborhoods. The grant also designated funds to support the addition of community amenities including the construction of outdoor classrooms and gathering areas, an artistic entryway created by local students and trail enhancements constructed by youth crews mentored by Parks staff.

Grant funding from Kaiser Permanente will be matched with $50,000 in individual donations to the Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation for fire recovery, a $15,000 donation from the Rotary Club of Coronado and facilitated by the Rotary Club of Windsor, and revenue from the Measure M parks sales tax approved by Sonoma County voters in 2018.
