A big welcome in Rohnert Park
Rohnert Park bills itself as "The Friendly City". It's hard to disagree. Smiles as wide as the glowing bays of the Sonoma Coast gleefully dress the faces of the residents here as they flit past the handsome theater houses and pine-studded parks in the town center. Okay, the speed of life goes slow up here in the hills north of San Francisco, but that's okay. You'll have plenty of moments to catch a round of 18 in the local country clubs, or to savor the fresh dry whites of the Californian wineries when you book Rohnert Park vacation rentals.

Relishing the sun in Rohnert Park
Because so many of Rohnert Park's family-orientated attractions are indoors – cinemas, games workshops, trampoline parks – you can usually get away with a visit here in the winter months between December and March. That said, there's really no better time than the summer, which starts in June and goes on until mid-September.
