Background

While Lafferty Park has not yet been opened to the public, a number of accomplished photographers have had access to the property on behalf of the City of Petaluma.

On this page, we present a sampling of their work, to give an idea of the spectacular scenic appeal of the park.

NEW! Photos of the neighboring Mitsui Ranch, where a trail has been offered which could one day connect Lafferty to Jack London State Park on the east side of Sonoma Mountain.
