Plenty of parking. It's a good walk or run here. Wear coat or layers when it's windy as it is flat so the wind is stronger on windy days.

Big playground with half bark-chip and half sand for the younger side. Three traditional swings and…read moreone alternate. Little side has two baby swings independent from the others. Bonus are the bathrooms close by & various benches for sitting. During the week, a few dogs around in their area & some mom groups with their little kids. They don't have the hand sanitizer like other playgrounds, ice cold water in the bathroom with some toilet seats missing - essentially making the larger stall toilet extremely cold. The playground side is adjacent to a road frequented by the cars in the neighborhood or visiting families. Currently there is leaking water faucet which causes some standing water

This place is close to a cement factory that is clearly bad for the air quality and environment…read more There's tons of dry dead grass and a swampy smell. The only thing good about this place is the path is flat and easy to walk on but it really feels post apocalyptic. I saw three homeless people in the parking lot. There was a summer camp here today and I felt sorry for these children. Will not come back until they finish the park in 3 to 4 years. Very sad and depressing trail.

Yeah it's a little murky, well more than a little, but it's definitely a river that can transport you away from cityville & into the great outdoors. There is a nice little park that edges southeast of the marina where you can view some pretty majestic water fowl and contemplate life. Some decent fishing spots here as well. If you have a boat or kayak, you can nail some stripers on this river. I have better chances in the evenings and mornings, less so in the heat of the day. I like to use shad or night crawlers, heard some people use live mud suckers too.

There's sprinklers that go on the walking path in an area where the birds do not shit. If they put grass and sprinklers next to the building where they have yoga, it would clean the sidewalks. DO THIS!!!

Lucchesi Park, the place you take your spouse to announce you want a divorce…read more Lucchesi Park, take your girlfriend here to say "it's over". Lucchesi Park, come here to reveal your terminal diagnosis. When something bad happens in someplace nice that place is forever tainted by the memory. This is exactly the reason you should come to Lucchesi Park with dire news. It'd be hard to ruin any memories of a place that's already this crap-tastic. Rather than googling "best parks in Petaluma" someone googled "nearby parks in Petaluma" and there's a big difference. We had a nice bottle of wine, some plastic cups, and poured ourselves a little splash after parking the car. We wanted to sit on a bench by the water, sip our wine, and enjoy the ambiance. In one direction the water-adjacent path was so littered with duck/goose/bird poop that I headed the opposite way. I rounded a bend and discovered the same thing in that direction: A shitstorm the likes of which I've never before seen. I turned around and opted for a bench in front of the building with merely a view of the most egregious poop mounds rather than a close-up. I laughed: this place is disgusting. There's a hiking trail at the other end of the park and a playground across the water but I really had no desire to explore. Later that evening I found Penry Park and imagined what could've been. Always google "best park", never "nearest park".

I visited Penry Park in Petaluma, CA [226 Kentucky St] on Saturday, 3/1/25…read more What I truly loved was that the park was centered in the heart of downtown Petaluma. It offered a lot of great, scenic views overseeing all of the beautiful buildings, homes, hills, and the sunset. The entire environment provided peace and tranquility. It appeared to be small, yet there was still enough space to enjoy my time there. In essence, the vibes of Penry Park were pleasantly enjoyable. I recommend coming here.
