Village Green Park

Your Cozy Neighborhood Retreat

Positioned on New Zealand Avenue, Village Green Park spans a modest 1.96 acres - not the biggest park you'll find, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in charm. This little green location acts as a casual hangout spot where locals come to unwind and visitors can get a taste of Santa Rosa community life. There's something genuinely refreshing about the neighborhood vibe here, with friendly faces often dotting the landscape.

Get Your Play On

The heart of the park features a sprawling grassy area that's great for whatever your day calls for - tossing a frisbee, spreading out a picnic blanket, or just cloud-watching on a lazy afternoon. If you're feeling a bit more competitive, the basketball court offers a place to shoot some hoops or join in on a pickup game. The open spaces are well-kept, giving you plenty of room to stretch your legs and shake off the workweek.

Family Fun Zone

Got kids in tow? The playground area is a hit with the younger crowd, offering a safe space where they can burn off energy while you catch a moment's peace on a nearby bench. The slides are particularly good - tall enough to be exciting without being too intimidating for parents. When hunger strikes, head over to the picnic tables and grilling area to enjoy an alfresco meal. These spots are ideal for small gatherings too - birthday parties and baby showers fit perfectly in this intimate setting.

A Touch of Nature

What makes Village Green Park special is its balanced blend of recreational facilities and natural elements. It's that little patch of green where you can reconnect with the outdoors without venturing far from home. Dog owners, this is a great spot for walking your four-legged friends, however it's worth noting that the park feels most comfortable during daylight hours. As evening approaches, you might want to be a bit more aware of your surroundings - just as you would in any public space.
