Ramsay Park Nature and Family Center Educational Exhibits Project

The City of Watsonville is partnering with Watsonville Wetlands Watch to develop a new Ramsay Park Nature and Family Center within the former Ramsay Park Family Center at 1301 Main Street. The project centers on the design, fabrication, and installation of educational exhibits focused on environmental education, local wetlands, nature, and cultural history, all housed inside the existing building structure. A significant outdoor enhancement includes a wall mural on the building’s exterior that highlights environmental stewardship and the heritage of California’s Native peoples, reinforcing the center’s mission to connect the community with its natural and cultural surroundings. All work is scoped to the interior and exterior of the existing building, with no mention of structural modifications or new construction. The initiative is part of a broader effort to promote public awareness and engagement with local ecosystems and indigenous history through interactive learning. The project was posted on May 29, 2026, with Matt Orbach, Director of Community Development and Design, listed as the primary point of contact for inquiries. The location is clearly defined as Watsonville, California, with the ZIP code 95076, and the initiative is positioned as a forecasted opportunity with no current solicitation number or set-aside classification disclosed.
