Wickersham Park, Petaluma CA

The park was dedicated to the City in 1939. The land was donated as a bequest from the late Elizabeth Wickersham Maclay in honor of her mother Mrs. I.G. Wickersham. It was designed by J. Wallace Mann in a Victorian style with rose trellises framing park benches. There are many varieties of roses as they were a favorite of Mrs. Wickersham. The shade trees are magnificent and include 18 varieties: Redwood, Birch, Magnolia, Norway Maple, Red Maple, Japanese Maple, Silver Maple, Pin Oak, Northern Red Oak, Sweet Gum, Sawleaf Zelkova, Ash, Raywood, Horsechestnut, Privet, Atlas Cedar, Gingko and Photinia.
