The Prince Memorial Greenway is a short urban trail on both sides of Santa Rosa Creek in the Sonoma County community of Santa Rosa. A major component of the city's efforts to clean up and restore the creek, the trail features native plants and up-close views of the historic buildings of Santa Rosa's charming downtown area.
From the western end at Pierson Street, trail users can continue on the Santa Rosa Creek Trail for a longer trip. Alternatively, head south on the Joe Rodota Trail via a trail bridge over Santa Rosa Creek near an active rail line to reach Sebastopol.
There are no dedicated parking lots for the Prince Memorial Greenway, but parking can be found on-street adjacent to the trail on Sonoma Avenue. Be sure to obey any posted parking restrictions.
This paved trail from Santa Rosa City Hall to Railroad Square with extensions to the west along Santa Rosa Creek is a great bit of nature in the downtown. Restored 20 years ago from a paved trapezoidal channel, it is now grown out with towering trees and pools and riffles. It even goes under Highway 101. It is also lined with murals and art pieces. Newly adopted by a group called Friends of the Prince Memorial Greenway, it is clean and well maintained and frequently patrolled by Santa Rosa Police and members of the Friends Committee?
