Sonoma Commission Faces Big Decisions On City Spaces

SONOMA VALLEY, CA — Sonoma’s Parks Commission meets Wednesday to review proposals that could reshape some of the city’s most visited public spaces.

From new memorials to park renovations, local groups pitching projects include veterans, garden club, and a woman's club.

The American Veterans Post 55 service organization will present a plan for a memorial at the Sonoma Veteran’s Cemetery, with staff recommending conditional approval pending city sign-off on the final design and installation.

The Valley of the Moon Garden Club seeks to revamp the Carnegie Building and Rose Garden landscaping, aiming for smoother pathways and updated plantings.

The Sonoma Valley Woman’s Club Foundation wants to renovate the Italian Fountain in Plaza Park, with commissioners expected to weigh in on design details and long-term maintenance plans.

Beyond the projects, the commission will review its 2026 work plan, set priorities, appoint a chair and vice-chair, and consider changes to the meeting schedule.
