Petaluma, California

Shollenberger Park, along the Petaluma River shoreline, and Adobe Creek, a principle tributary of the Petaluma River, provide passive recreation opportunities for people to hike, cycle, and enjoy the diverse wildlife and shorebirds in the area. Questa provided design and planning assistance over several phases of the Park's inception, to improve the habitat along Adobe Creek,  create new freshwater, tidal marsh, and riparian enhancement areas, improve water quality and circulation, create trails, and provide environmental education opportunities for park users.

The project included approximately three miles of trails, three pedestrian bridges, boardwalks, created wetlands, habitat buffers, fencing, signage, and site furnishings.

Questa developed the Concept Plan, CEQA review,  and project permitting, prepared the Plans and Specifications, and oversaw bidding and construction. Our grant preparation on the City's behalf resulted in over $700,000 for project implementation, land acquisition, and development of an interpretive guide for the area.
