As you may know, the master planning process for the Santa Rosa Southeast Greenway Project has begun, which will transform a two-mile corridor of vacant land into 49 acres of park amenities, trails, natural open spaces, and community gathering places that community members across Santa Rosa can enjoy.

Community members can help shape the future of the Greenway through the community survey, which will be open through November. Your voice will help shape a park that serves all of Santa Rosa and future generations. Survey participants will also be entered in a raffle towards a $100 gift card!

Would you like a chance to win a $100 Visa gift card? Take the Santa Rosa Southeast Greenway Community Survey!

Tell us your needs, dreams, desires, and highest hopes for the Greenway park space. Your voice will help shape specific recommendations for the Southeast Greenway Master Plan. Take the survey online or attend one of the community workshops in November at Montgomery Middle/High School.

Visit our website to learn more.

*There will be five randomly selected winners. You can only be entered into the drawing once.
