Donner Trail Park : GO Bond Project
— Quick Links —
Project Description
Donner Trail Park is a 14.27 acre park in the East Bench neighborhood. Using funds from the Parks, Trails, and Open Space General Obligation Bond (approved by voters in November 2022), Donner Trail Park will be “reimagined” to better reflect neighborhood needs and identities. This may include the replacement of failing assets like playground; the addition of unique elements capturing the surrounding neighborhood’s identity and history; increasing elements of placemaking; and adding multilingual identity and wayfinding signage.
The goal of this project is to improve access and activation of the park while empowering the local community; reflect surrounding natural, historical, cultural, and economic identities; and offer a high-quality park experience for everyone.

Community Engagement Report
From May to September of 2023, Public Lands conducted the first phase of community engagement to understand the community’s desires for the park and how they wish to see it improved. The feedback collected will help to inform decisions on how to proceed with the design phase, and ultimately implementation of the collective vision.
Read what we heard from the community by clicking on the report below! Public Lands will be doing another round of community engagement once the concept designs are ready to share.
