The time for changing Maxwell Farms for better youth soccer is NOW!
Soccer is the largest youth sport in Sonoma Valley, and there are hundreds of adults who also love to play. But, there is not a single dedicated, high quality soccer field in either the town or the unincorporated areas of Sonoma Valley.
The Sonoma County Regional Parks is currently requesting input for a Master Re-Development Plan for Maxwell Farms Park.
Now is is therefore the perfect time to let the County of Sonoma know that creating a community soccer complex at Maxwell Farms Park would bring the most benefit to our community and is included in the new Master Plan.
As far as space and location go, Maxwell Farms park is about as ideal as it gets. The central green in the upper part of this centrally located park could become the hub of Sonoma Valley's active and diverse soccer/futbol community. The lighting that could be installed as part of this effort could also extend the hours the skate park could be used and provide more safety to all other park users.
Please add your vote to the online petition to the Sonoma County Regional Parks Department to prioritize the following items:

Please add your vote to the online petition to the Sonoma County Regional Parks Department to prioritize the following items:
- 1 large and 2 youth-sized high-quality soccer fields (grass or turf) to replace the current poorly maintain central lawn
- Installation of field lighting for evening play and to increase park safety at these fields
- New, larger, and safer bathrooms
