A small city-run preserve on the Laguna de Santa Rosa, just east of downtown Sebastopol on Highway 12, with shaded picnic tables and grills under valley oaks. It's peaceful and good for birding, but there's no restroom and it can flood in winter.

A classic small-town green space and the heart of Sebastopol's festival calendar, with a pool, playground, ball field, stage and creek-side picnic areas. It's a pleasant, free stop for a family picnic, but drinking there requires a police-approved city permit.
