A Chance to Extend Putnam Park
A Community Resource
The current owner of Scott Ranch has agreed to sell most of the property for public use. Under this agreement, 44 acres – three-quarters of the land – is on track to be converted into an extension of Helen Putnam Regional Park.
This Opportunity Will:
- Limit housing development on the property to 28 homes
- Extend Putnam Park by 44 acres and create a new entry point to the park on the east side (near the intersection of Windsor Drive and D Street)
- Preserve the red barns as historic landmarks at Petaluma’s western gateway
- Protect critical habitat for the threatened California red-legged frog

- Accessible seating areas and eco-friendly restrooms
- Multiple trails, connecting Scott Ranch to the rest of Putnam Park
- Native grasslands and wetland habitat for the California red-legged frog.
