01 · THE RESPONSIBILITIES

Who does what

San Rafael’s Library & Recreation department provides community learning and recreation resources.

Library & Recreation provides programs, registration and facility rental information. Public Works handles maintenance of City parks and open space trails.

02 · THE CONNECTIONS

Where the handoff happens

Use the City department for City programs and facilities. Before reporting a park issue or making a reservation, identify the park owner. A place near San Rafael is not automatically a City facility.

03 · THE DECISIONS

How to follow the decisions

City programs and facilities are part of the City’s public decision process. Program availability, fees and facility hours change, so use the provider’s current information before making plans.
