Parks and Recreation

Library & Recreation Department

Overview

San Rafael's parks and recreation facilities enrich our community by providing places to gather, discover, learn, and play. Maintaining and improving these facilities is a top priority for the City and is included in City Council's 2025-2028 Strategic Plan (Goal E.4).

Below are the recent plans that the City has created to guide strategic and intentional investment in our parks and recreation system as well as information on current parks and recreation capital improvement projects.

Library & Community Center at Albert Park

In November 2024, San Rafael voters passed Measure P, an initiative to fund a new main library and community center at Albert Park. Measure P represents a significant investment in our cultural and civic institutions and will be one of the largest capital projects that San Rafael has undertaken in recent years.
