Project Info

Title

Creekside Park

Description

The Monte Rio Recreation and Park District (MRRPD) plans to redevelop the site known as the Old Monte Rio Elementary School and create recreational opportunities for both local residents and visitors that encompass a range of different interests and age levels. Along with improvements to the main property to create the new Creekside Park, connections will be developed to a network of trails in the larger area that ultimately link Monte Rio to the coast. The project will be implemented in two phases. Phase I was funded as part of redevelopment in the lower Russian River area, with dedicated funds now administered by the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, and will involve improvements to the landscape and structures, including a new skate park, community garden, public trail along the creek front, permeable parking, public restrooms, and a small concession cafe in the existing building with an outdoor dining patio. Phase II would include additional improvements to Creekside park and connections to a trail system that would accommodate hiking, cycling, and possibly equestrian uses if proposed trail grades are not too steep and trailer parking is available.
