Notice of Tree Removal & Maintenance
The County of Sonoma will be removing several trees on County property at Hughes Field (Little League baseball fields on 1st St East). In coordination with this work, a small number of trees on adjacent City of Sonoma property near Depot Park will also be addressed.
Out of an abundance of caution, portions of Depot Park will be temporarily closed during active work, including the volleyball court, playground, and permanent restrooms. Portable restrooms (porta potties) will be available for public use onsite.
