Neighborhood Services (NS) of Santa Rosa Recreation & Parks provides underserved youth and their families with safe-haven sites where they enjoy recreational, social and athletic activities without fear of gangs, drugs and other negative influences that occur in their neighborhoods. These programs are provided with the Santa Rosa Violence Prevention Partnership and are supported by Measure O sales tax, the Change for Kids program, and many individuals, businesses, and organizations to make our Santa Rosa community stronger.
