Agenda

Regional Parks is hosting a community meeting August 23rd to review and invite feedback on a draft master plan update for Larson Regional Park in Sonoma. The meeting is from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Flowery School Multi-purpose room at 17600 CA-12 Sonoma, CA.

The Master Plan update will outline improvements to the park including the renovation of existing facilities, and designation of new and or expanded features and a new restroom facility.

With public input, the goal of the Master Plan update is to establish a vision for the park which better meets the current and future recreational needs of the community, increases safety and accessibility, and protects and enhances the environmental resources of this neighborhood park.

The draft plan will be available for review on Regional Parks’ website following the meeting, with public comment welcomed and accepted through September 14th. There will be an opportunity for additional public comment during the 30-day review period subsequent to the preparation of the revised master plan update and draft CEQA documentation.

Regional Parks is preparing a new master plan for Larson Regional Park.  The planning process will determine the preferred mix and layout of future park features and circulation, and guide future renovations and improvements to be undertaken as funding becomes available.  As part of the process they are hosting a public workshop as a follow-up to the initial sharing session held last fall.  The workshop is an opportunity for Sonoma Valley residents to become involved in the process of shaping the vision of this park for the future.

The approximately 7.6 acre park features athletic fields, tennis courts, a playground, picnic sites and a community garden run by Nuestra Voz. Sonoma Creek runs forms the western boundary of the park, and Flowery School sits adjacent and to the north. A segment of the Central Sonoma Valley Trail runs through the park and will eventually connect to Highway 12 and the Sonoma Valley Trail when these segments are built.

The March 2nd workshop is scheduled from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at Flowery Elementary School, 17600 Sonoma Hwy, in the Multi-purpose room. Spanish translation and child care will be available.  In addition to the workshop, community members will also have the opportunity to review the conceptual alternatives and provide input online.  Materials will be posted subsequent to the meeting.
