Windsor
A 211-acre oak-woodland park in east Windsor with three bass-and-bluegill ponds and nearly 7 miles of trails, from a flat pond loop to a steep ridge climb. Tables dotted around the ponds make it a quiet, dog-friendly picnic spot with no County alcohol ban.

Windsor
An 850-acre County park in the Mayacamas foothills on Windsor's southeast edge, known mostly for hiking and horseback riding. Its entrance picnic area, with lawn, oaks, a gazebo and barbecues, is a pleasant post-hike lunch spot or a group-party site, and alcohol isn't banned.
Nearest picnic food: Santa Rosa Original Certified Farmers Market · 2.3 mi
Windsor
Windsor's downtown lawn and event stage, a pleasant free place for a blanket picnic with a playground nearby and shops across the street. It's liveliest on summer Thursday concert nights with the farmers market. The Town's 2025 park policy says you need a permit to drink here, even though the code only bans alcohol where a ban is posted, so leave the bottle in the car unless you've called ahead.
