San Geronimo Commons Nears Final Step to Public Ownership, Marin County Board of Supervisors Unanimously Approves Conveyance 

San Francisco, CA — San Geronimo Commons is on track to becoming Marin County’s newest park and anticipated headquarters for the Marin County Fire Department after the Marin County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the option to purchase the 157-acre property from Trust for Public Land [TPL] today. 

Statement from California State Director Guillermo Rodriguez on the Marin County Board of Supervisors vote:

“Trust for Public Land applauds the Marin County Board of Supervisors decision today to unanimously approve the acquisition of San Geronimo Commons. With strong community support, this decision will permanently preserve this cherished space for everyone’s enjoyment, provide crucial habitat for endangered salmon, and enhance community climate resilience. 

A project of San Geronimo’s magnitude serves as a force multiplier, and we take pride in our collaboration with Marin County, Marin County Parks, Marin Open Space Trust, and numerous other community partners. This measure in creating San Geronimo Commons marks a momentous occasion and final step toward public ownership, representing a true win-win outcome for the people of Marin County.
