Some of the best things in a community begin with a simple idea: what if? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What if this long-vacant corridor became a place filled with laughter, connection, nature, and joy? What if it became a place where neighbors greet one another on a morning walk, kids discover new adventures, families gather for picnics, and friends meet up for a bike ride or sunset stroll? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For years, community members have carried that vision forward. What started as a grassroots effort has grown into a shared undertaking fueled by neighbors, volunteers, community organizations, public agencies, and local leaders working together to create something special. Now, we’re excited to begin the next chapter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Southeast Greenway is more than a park project. It’s a chance to create something extraordinary together.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n City of Santa Rosa, in partnership with Sonoma Land Trust, Greenway volunteers, and community partners, is launching the master planning process for the Southeast Greenway that will transform the two-mile corridor of vacant land into 47 acres of park amenities, trails, natural open spaces, and community gathering places that community members across Santa Rosa can enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But here’s the most exciting part: the Greenway isn’t being created for the community. It’s being created with the community.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideas, stories, and dreams of Santa Rosa residents will help shape what comes next. Whether you’ve been involved for years or are just hearing about the project today, there’s a place for your voice in this process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
