Pickleweed Park Enhancement Project

The Pickleweed Park Enhancement Project will expand and increase outdoor recreation opportunities at Pickleweed Park. The City of San Rafael's project will add or improve various amenities at the park including new all-weather turf fields, a new basketball/sport court, new playground features for children under five, new fitness equipment for adults, new gazebo with shaded seating, replacing the restroom building, and lighting. In addition to the new and improved amenities, new planting areas that focus on native species are planned. We are currently preparing design drawings and anticipate completing all bid documents for the project by end of 2023.
