A community Center for the common good
Our Vision for Santa Venetia Commons
We envision the site to be a community gathering, events, art, recreation, and entertainment space . Where neighbors, residents, students, and groups can connect, play, and embrace the beauty of the wetlands. Where families gather, seniors stay connected, and kids meet up for bike rides and wildlife walks. Where homage is made to the Miwoks. Where the community can find locally based services, arts, culture, education, health, and wellness programs.
Where nature and nurture are in harmony.
Our Mission
In partnership with Pazala, a private family foundation supporting art, the environment, and community projects, our goal is to promote the reimagining of the McPhail School site into Santa Venetia Commons. Located next to Marin County's Santa Venetia Open Marsh Reserve, SV Commons will be designed as an uncommon experience that energizes the Santa Venetia community and protects a pristine environment in unincorporated Marin.
