Redwood Grove Event Area

Thank you we’ve made it!

The Gualala Arts picnic area, developed and lovingly tended by volunteers, underwent major renovations throughout 2016-17.

Home to the BBQ, pizza oven, stage and picnic tables, this area is key for food service at major events like Art in the Redwoods and the Auto Show.

It will solve existing issues like tripping hazards, drainage, increased access and access for all, level ground and site lines to the stage.

The plan creates a magnificent, serpentine stone retaining wall that will be memorable as a work of art in its own right, and new stone paths to be built after grading, leveling, and clearing of old stumps. The existing redwood trees will remain.
