Help Us Rebuild the Mesa Park Children’s Playground

A new chapter for play in Bolinas

For more than 25 years, Mesa Park’s playground has brought children and neighbors together. We’re planning its renewal so the next generation can climb, swing, explore, and make friends in a welcoming community space.

What we’re working toward

Current concepts explore natural Robinia wood play equipment, swings, inclusive features, and age-appropriate areas for younger children and ages 5–12.

Built for our whole community

A renewed playground can support children’s physical, social, and cognitive development while giving students, caregivers, and families across Bolinas, Stinson Beach, and West Marin a place to connect. Our goal is welcoming outdoor play for children of different ages and abilities and families of every income level.

Public funding is a foundation. Community support moves us forward.

FHCPA received a $125,400 Marin County West Marin Community Infrastructure Improvements grant for the combined playground renovation and shaded picnic structure project. The grant proposal allocated $110,400 toward the playground and $15,000 toward shade-structure preconstruction. The award supports both improvements.

A significant playground funding gap remains. As designs and pricing are refined, donations can help turn this shared vision into a lasting community resource.
