Tahola Lane – Pocket Park Transformation

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Before May of 2014, the water-wise pocket park on Tahola Lane on the East side of Petaluma was a dirt lot full of weeds. After Daily Acts hosted a Community Resilience Challenge event with the students of Loma Vista Immersion Academy it was transformed into a water-wise demonstration garden through the process of sheet mulching and the installation of drought-tolerant, pollinator plants.

Ten years later, in August of 2024, we went back out there to host a community engagement session to discuss the future of this small neighborhood pocket park. Folks who lived nearby were able to give their input on how the park was currently being utilized and the changes they’d like to see made. Read about the primary findings from our listening session and survey engagement here!

Beginning in January, work will be done to start transforming this site into a more inviting and usable space for all. The projected completion date for this project is Summer of 2025.

This project is made possible through Daily Acts’ collaboration with the City of Petaluma.
