Santa Rosa Southeast Greenway Project
This is a community led vision to transform two miles of vacant corridor into 49 acres of park amenities, trails, natural open spaces, and community gathering spaces that residents across Santa Rosa can enjoy.
A vision for recreation, connection and stewardship
What began as a grassroots effort in 1989, has grown in the passing decades into the Santa Rosa Southeast Greenway Project.
Between fall 2026 and summer 2027, community engagement and feedback will inform development of the plan that will guide recommendations for design, operations and programming the Greenway.

For Community, By Community
For more than a decade, community members have shared their hopes and vision for the Southeast Greenway.
From picnic areas to play areas. Community gardens to art displays. New areas for active and passive recreation and education. Your ideas are the roots of the Southeast Greenway as a natural open space and community gathering place that residents across Santa Rosa can enjoy.
So far all we know for sure is that there will be a continuous multi-use path.
Highlights of community feedback to-date include:
Creating a park that connects neighborhoods, provides safe routes for walking and biking, and welcomes people of all ages and abilities.
Restoring natural habitat, oak woodlands and celebrating the existing creeks and wetlands.
Sharing spaces to gather, learn, garden, play, and spend time outdoors with family, friends, and neighbors.
Prioritizing safety, accessibility, and easy connections to schools, neighborhoods, and regional destinations.
