Opening the Door to Summer

Summer in Rohnert Park is one of my favorite times of year.

Our parks are busy, the pool is full of splashing kids learning new skills, and our camps are packed with the kind of laughter that reminds you exactly why community services exist in the first place. For many families, these programs are a highlight of the season.

But the truth is, not every child has the same opportunity to participate.

Even when programs are priced responsibly and partially subsidized by the City, the cost of camp or activities over the summer can still be a barrier for some families. Recreation programs should bring our community together, not unintentionally leave some families on the sidelines.

This summer, we are taking a step to help address that.

The City of Rohnert Park has created an Equity Access Program, a pilot program designed to reduce financial barriers so more youth can participate in City programs. The City of Rohnert Park Foundation Board has allocated $10,000 to support youth participation in summer programs such as:

• Day Camps

• Sports Camps

• Swim Lessons

• Enrichment Classes

Families who qualify may receive 50% to 75% off eligible program fees, depending on eligibility, with a maximum of $300 per child for the summer season.

Our goal is simple: make sure more kids in our community have access to the experiences that help them grow, build confidence, stay active, and connect with others.

There is no maximum on the number of qualified children who can receive assistance while funds are still available.

DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES

WHO CAN APPLY

Households may qualify if they:

• Participate in programs such as CalFresh, Medi-Cal, CalWORKs, WIC, SSI, or County Relief, General Relief, or General Assistance, and may receive up to 75% off program fees or

• Have a household income at or below 80% of the Area Median Income for Sonoma County and may receive up to 50% off program fees.

The application process is designed to be simple and respectful. Families can apply for assistance at the time of program registration, and funds will be available on a firstcome, first-served basis until the funds are used.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Recreation programs do more than fill time during the summer. They build friendships, teach teamwork, improve health, and give kids the confidence that comes from trying something new.

Swim lessons, in particular, are one of the most important safety skills a child can learn. Ensuring access to those opportunities is an investment not only in individual families but in the wellbeing of our entire community.

The Equity Access Program is a small step, but an important one, toward making sure every child in Rohnert Park has the chance to participate.

We look forward to seeing how this program helps open doors for more youth this summer and learning from the experience as we continue working to strengthen access to recreation for our community.

If you believe your family may qualify, or if you’d like to learn more, please visit online at rpcommunityservices.org, inperson at 5401 Snyder Lane, or by phone at 707-588-3456.

We hope to see you this summer.

JUNIOR GIANTS FREE YOUTH BASEBALL LEAGUE

LIGA DE BALONCESTO JUVENIL, GRATIS

Play Ball! Rohnert Park Community Services is excited to be able to partner again with the Giants Community Fund to bring back for 2026 their flagship program, Junior Giants.

Junior Giants is a FREE, non-competitive, co-ed baseball and softball league for children. This innovative program is designed by the Giants Community Fund in cooperation with the San Francisco Giants. It uses baseball and softball to encourage and educate kids to live healthy and productive lives.

Each week, children are instructed on the fundamentals of the game and take part in a discussion on the “word of the week.” Words of the week include the “Four Bases of Character Development”: confidence, teamwork, leadership, and integrity. As kids complete each week’s discussions and challenges, they can earn fantastic San Francisco Giantsthemed rewards.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

This league is possible only with the help of generous volunteers to serve as coaches and team parents.

Each division will be capped at a certain number of participants based on how many coaches are registered. As more volunteers register the caps will be raised and we will be able to serve more kids. Help us serve more kids by signing up today at www.rpcity.org/jrgiants

Great with kids but don’t know much about baseball? No problem! We will hold a coaches’ clinic before the season and provide you with everything you need, including practice plans. Coaches will also be trained on how to use our new upgraded app with resources for techniques and drill ideas including videos.

Registration: Registration will begin on April 1st and end on May 22nd. To register please go online to www.rpcity.org/jrgiants Registration is first come-first served. All divisions will be initially capped at a number of participants based upon the number of registered volunteers.

Waiting List: Once space is full a waiting list will automatically be formed. As more volunteers sign up additional spots will be added and we will be able to add participants from the waiting list.

On the waiting list and want to secure a spot in the league? Spots are being reserved in the league for children of coaches and volunteers. When you sign up to coach or volunteer your child will be added to the list for those reserved spots.

No experience or equipment necessary. Equipment is generously provided by the Giants Community Fund. Every child will be provided with a hat, jersey, baseball pants, and a glove (if needed). Bats, helmets, balls, will be provided to each team. The kids (and coaches) will also receive a variety of special gifts from the San Francisco Giants for participating.

Opening Day: Week of June 8. The league will run for eight weeks with games ending on July 31.

First Pitch Mandatory Parent Meeting: There will be a mandatory parent meeting on Tuesday, May 26 from 5:30-6:30pm at the Callinan Sports and Fitness Center, 5405 Snyder Lane.

Divisions and Schedule: All divisions will begin week one with a one day clinic of basic baseball skills and introduction to the Junior Giants program. This clinic will be led by experienced coaches working with new coaches in preparation for the season.

Any 6- or 9-year-old children who wants to play in a higher division will be considered if there is space available in the requested division. If you have any questions or concerns about your child playing in the Junior Giants, or if your child has special needs, contact Chris Morgan at 707-588-3451 or cmorgan@rpcity.org. A child’s age as of July 1, 2026 will determine in which division they can play. Players must be at least 5 years old by July 1 to play in the Junior Giants.

BACK FOR 2026 — SOFTBALL!

We are proud to bring back our new softball division for children ages 7-9 years old! This division has the same prizes and programs as the baseball division, but the sport is softball instead of baseball. The softball division will be all coach pitch.

Girls and boys ages 7-9 years old may choose to play either softball or baseball. In future years, we hope to expand this program to include a majors division for ages 10-13. If we do not get enough participants this season for softball all registered participants will have the opportunity to join the baseball division if they would like.

BIG THINGS COMING TO ALICIA PARK!

Alicia Park is about to get the glow-up it deserves.

Thanks to Sonoma County voters who passed Measure M – Parks for All in 2018, the City has secured $1.3 million to renovate our very first park!

Here’s what’s coming:

• Removal of outdated play structures

• A brand-new inclusive play structure, thoughtfully designed for people of all ages and abilities, placed in a more central location to better connect the park experience

• New BBQ and picnic areas perfect for birthday parties, team celebrations, and Sunday afternoons.

And that’s not all. The City has also secured additional funding to fully renovate the park’s irrigation system— because a great park needs healthy green space to match its new features.

This project is an investment in our community, accessibility, and the next generation of park memories.

Project planning is underway with a goal of completion in Fall 2026. We can’t wait to experience a revitalized Alicia Park!

WHAT SHOULD BE IN DOWNTOWN ROHNERT PARK?

The City of Rohnert Park and CenterCal Properties LLC are asking for feedback on draft concept plans for what could be built at the site near the city’s SMART rail stop.

The conceptual plans have been laid out and show a new downtown incorporating over 100,000 square feet of retail space, at least 300 homes, and a hotel…but what specifically could fill these spaces? And what community events should be hosted in its streets and central plaza?

Help the City and CenterCal determine just that. Browse the developer’s page, take a look at the concept designs, and let the City and CenterCal understand: What do you want, specifically, for the Rohnert Park Downtown? What businesses, what events, and what kind of housing?
