Howarth Park is a child's paradise. Our grandson had his 3rd Birthday party there and there was so much for the kids to do. Petting Zoo, Pony Rides, Train Rides and more. The grounds are well kept and thr restrooms are clean. They also have lovely trails for hiking/walking.

Great family park featuring tons of amenities for all ages and interests. A small stocked pond with boat rentals is great for a relaxing day on the water, though there is no shade so be sure to sun block! Can be kinda grimy near boat launch but better on the far side opposite the dam. The rest of this large park is great for kids with the snack bar, huge play area and an awesome mini train tour makes for an unforgettable day at the park.

Questions & Answers

Is is there a boat or pier dock at the lake

Daniel Cline | Aug 19, 2019

Yes there is. Boat house hours are online at Santarosarec.com. I don't know about personal use, contact howarth park for that.

Who is the park named after?

pigfaceZimmerman benjesWagner | Aug 19, 2018
Tara Brady | Aug 19, 2018

Leonard Howarth, a successful British-born industrialist, comes to Santa Rosa for treatment when stricken by paralysis in the 1930's. He leaves $75,000 at his death to be used for Santa Rosa. In the 1950's Leonard Howarth’s funding was used to create the City’s first “modern playground” next to Burbank School. The sale of this park to the Board of Education and remaining funds left by Leonard Howarth are used to build Howarth Park.

Is the park pet friendly

Anne e Mackenzie | Aug 19, 2019
Valerie Butcher | Aug 19, 2019

Very pet friendly. A leash and doggie Dooley bags are a necessity. Even if it's a llama, which we have seen in the park, you will need a poopy bag.

The fishing is much better down the trail at spring lake. A world record bass has been caught out of that pond.

How many miles is the walk from Spring Lake to Lake Ralphine?

Sheri Venezia | Aug 19, 2019
Hayley | Aug 19, 2019

About a mile. Depends which trail you take or where you start. If you start at the Spring Lake trail head going around the lake and end at Howarth Park it's just under a mile.

Can we bring dogs?

toxicanimation | Aug 18, 2021
Mannuel Osio | Aug 18, 2021

Yes, dogs are allowed, but they need to be in their leash at all times, because other people bring dogs as well to the park. Always remember to bring a bag to pick after your dog poop and throw it in to the garbage cans, there are several of them around the trails, please do not let them around because dog poop is hurtful for the environment and even more when it's dry. I hope you enjoy your time in the park. 😁😁😁
