Park and Recreation Commission 03/25/2026

The City of San Rafael Park and Recreation Commission held a regular meeting on March 25, 2026, focusing on several procurement and capital improvement projects. Key discussions included a $38,000 project to improve park signage across 26 parks, involving fabrication and installation of approximately 75-80 signs and new kiosks, with in-house production by the Public Works sign shop. The commission also reviewed the Measure A work plan, which allocates approximately $580,000 annually for park maintenance and improvements. Projects highlighted included tennis court resurfacing at Peacock Gap and Freighus Parks with an added $50,000 to the existing $400,000 budget, a water system repair at Boyd Park planned for fiscal year 2027-2028, playground surface replenishment funded at $30,000 annually, and supplemental janitorial services for restrooms during peak seasons. Additionally, $30,000 was proposed for a seawall assessment at Beach Park to support potential public-private partnerships, and $50,000 was allocated for a feasibility study to explore developing a new park in the Monaceo neighborhood. The commission unanimously approved motions to receive reports on the signage project and Measure A work plan. Other updates included grant funding for preschool programs and ongoing capital projects such as library renovations and playground improvements.
