Welcome to Gerstle Park

The Gerstle Park neighborhood of San Rafael is bordered by the open spaces to the south and historic downtown to the North. We are named after the beautiful city park donated by the Gerstle Family which is also the setting for many of our events. Property owners and renters alike are welcomed to join the GPNA.  Click here for neighborhood maps and here to read our current newsletter. 

The purpose of the Gerstle Park Neighborhood Association (GPNA) is to draw a wide diversity of people to work together and partner with our community and local government to enhance and protect the character and livability of our neighborhood.

Our specific goals and objectives include, but not limited to, the following:
  • To represent the neighborhood in its dealings with the City of San Rafael and its departments.
  • To provide a forum for and to be a catalyst for the discussion of neighborhood planning issues and community development plans.
  • To serve as an educational vehicle by communicating pertinent issues to the residents and business establishments of the neighborhood.
  • To assist members in measuring the impact of city and county planning on our neighborhood.
  • To organize seasonal events that draw our neighbors together and strengthen our sense of community.
  • To focus on the issues and needs of our neighborhood in order to identify projects the GPNA can manage and ideas that we can promote.
  • To provide regular communication through a newsletter, networking events and annual meeting.
