Project Description 

Kenilworth is the largest community park serving the mid-town area and is in need of reinvestment to better serve our growing community. Park improvements may include but are not limited to reimagined play spaces; integrated public art into play areas; improved access and safety features; inclusive elements for all ages and abilities; drainage enhancements; trees and shade structures; native and drought tolerant plantings; natural elements; recreational amenities; and turf and pathway improvements.  

Thanks in part to Proposition 68: California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection, and Outdoor Access for All Act, in combination with the voter-approved Sonoma County Measure M: Parks for All Initiative benefiting local parks, the city has an opportunity to invest these funds and engage the community to create a shared vision and address the parks most critical needs.  

The City of Petaluma has partnered with MIG, Inc., a Bay Area based design firm known for community driven, inclusive, and inspiring park designs, to lead the design of the Kenilworth Park Revitalization Project. The City has also selected the Project Artist, Oleg Lobykin, through a competitive search for public artists to contribute to the design. The design process will include extensive community outreach and engagement in the summer and fall of 2023 

Generations of Petalumans have made memories with their friends, families, and loved ones at Kenilworth Park. We look forward to hearing from you and working together to help create an equitable, diverse, and inclusive space for future Petalumans to enjoy!
