LANSDALE PARK

A pocket sized park with a children's playground--just what the neighborhood needed! Parents can enjoy a coffee to go from the near by cafe while watching their children play in the out of doors. Located at the corner of Center Boulevard and Lansdale, this park gives the visitor the chance to experience a
little of San Anselmo's history. The railroad tracks leading from San Anselmo west were located along Center Boulevard. Today's visitors can still see the wide sidewalks on either side of Center that were formerly the loading platforms for the trains. Lansdale Station was a stop on the way to West Marin.

SORICH RANCH PARK

Sorich Park gives the park visitor a chance to experience the natural beauty of the San Anselmo hills. Sorich Park is a relatively undeveloped park with limited picnic benches and tables. Hiking trails lead off in many directions and vary in degree of effort required. The wide open spaces and secluded location give visitors the chance to enjoy nature in a restful environment. The park is located at the end of San Francisco Boulevard. The Sorich Ranch Park Master Plan was developed over the last 4 years by the community. With the help from a State of California matching grant, Phase One of the plan is being implemented with your help. Improvements such as new trails, new landscaping with native plants, eradication of non-native weeds, and a new parking lot are under way. Sorich work parties are generally held the third Saturday of each month. Every hour
worked is matched dollar for dollar by the State Grant, so you can really get your money's worth. These work parties are aimed at enhancing the quality of Sorich Ranch Park. Bring gloves, hat and water and meet new friends while learning about our native habitat. For further information, contact the San Anselmo Streets and Parks Department at 258-4601.
