Join our Block Party to Create the Vision for the Future Hearn Community Hub!

Join the City of Santa Rosa for a planning block party on Saturday, August 20, from 10 a.m. to noon at Roseland University Prep (1931 Biwana Dr.) and be a part of co-creating a vision for the future Hearn Community Hub. Hosted by the Office of Community Engagement and RDC Architecture, Inc., the planning block party will feature interactive opportunities to provide input on the proposed community center, along with food, fun, and games for people of all ages. The Santa Rosa City Council voted to approve the purchase of the six-acre multi-use site on Hearn Avenue in southwest Santa Rosa called the Hearn Community Hub earlier this year. This site will be developed for multiple public uses, including but not limited to a fire station, a public library, and a multicultural community center. LEARN MORE

Scholarships Are Available for Swim Lessons & Lifeguard Training

We all know that autumn in Santa Rosa can be warm, often even warmer than summer! To help ensure that everyone in our community has the skills to be safe while cooling off at local lakes, rivers, beaches, and pools, Santa Rosa Recreation & Parks provides scholarships for swim lessons and lifeguard training classes to help offset the cost for those who need it. In fact, there is scholarship funding available now for fall lessons and classes, with the first sessions beginning August 15. LEARN MORE
