​Sonoma County is home to one of the most diverse park systems in California – spanning cities, suburbs, valleys, mountains, rivers and ocean – with open space conservation land, developed trails, skate parks, tennis courts, sports fields, playgrounds, beaches, picnic areas, marinas and campgrounds.

The Sonoma County Parks Foundation helps sponsor park programs for underserved communities, seniors and youth; supports the development of environmental education programs; funds natural resources projects to restore habitats and protect wildlife; provides financial support to develop new parks and trails; and hosts popular community events, such as the Spring Lake Water Bark.

Here's how you can join us to support Sonoma County Regional Parks

It's not too early to start thinking about holiday gifts, and we've got something for just about everyone on your list!

​We have intangible gifts that support the parks, such as tree planting, sponsored picnic tables  and benches in the parks with engraved plaques, and a range of park inspired gifts in our online store. START YOUR SHOPPING HERE.

This park supports an abundance of wildlife species, and it links the stream corridors, parks and backyards of Santa Rosa to the Sonoma Mountains. With miles of  trails, it is also a hub for outdoor recreation in Sonoma County. READ MORE...

If you’ve visited Helen Putnam Regional Park recently, you may have noticed exciting improvements— an expanded and restored trail network, the popular new stairs, and enhancements around the pond that make the park more welcoming than ever.
Now, thanks to the generosity of Ginnie and Pete Haas, Jr., every gift you make will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $80,000. LEARN ABOUT PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS...

Looking for a creative gift for a friend or family member? Sponsor a sheep in their honor and we can provide you with a certificate to give your gift recipient. With a gift of $100, you can sponsor a sheep  for a month of grazing in Sonoma County Regional Parks, which not only reduces fire risk, but also keeps grasslands and ecosystems healthy.

Just in time for holiday giving, we'll also send you or your gift recipient a darling stuffed sheep...SEE IT HERE.
