MAKE A GIFT

A Natural Play Area for the children of Sonoma County

In December 2020, Regional Parks dedicated the first phase of the Red Tail Play Area, an exciting new environmentally friendly and educational project at Taylor Mountain Regional Park and Open Space. Taylor Mountain already benefits the community with five miles of multi-use trails and a disc golf course. Sonoma County Regional Parks' unique Natural Play Area features natural and environmentally friendly materials, landforms and vegetation to create a fun and educational play space for children of all ages.

The Natural Play Area provides a captivating play space that will draw children to Taylor Mountain Regional Park and Open Space Preserve, inducing them to play and improve their fitness while fostering a connection to the natural world. Studies have shown that interaction with the natural landscape is critical to the mental and physical health of children. Constructed of natural components such as plants, logs, water, sand, mud, boulders, hills and trees, Natural Play Areas are outdoor spaces designed to entice youth to experience nature.
To date, the Parks Foundation has secured more than $100,000 for this project from the Finley Foundation, PG&E, Sonoma County Vintner's Foundation, Recology, Bread for the Journey and generous individuals like you.
