Larson Park in Sonoma, California has reopened to the public after undergoing nearly a year of renovations and upgrades. The park now features new tennis courts, pickleball courts, a soccer field, accessible restrooms, a renovated parking lot, and updated playgrounds and picnic areas.

Why it matters

The Larson Park renovations are an important community investment, providing access to well-maintained recreation spaces, especially in historically underrepresented neighborhoods like the Springs area of Sonoma. The new facilities, like the first-ever pickleball courts in the Sonoma Valley, will benefit local residents and groups like the Pickleball Club of Sonoma Valley.
