Doyle Community Park, Urban park in Santa Rosa, United States

Doyle Community Park is an urban park in Santa Rosa featuring mature oaks, maples, and California bay laurel trees along Matanzas Creek and Spring Creek. The grounds include five reservable picnic areas, baseball fields, a clubhouse, separate dog parks, and playgrounds with parking accessible from Sonoma Avenue.

Frank Pierce Doyle bought the land as a memorial to his 13-year-old son, who died during a tonsillectomy in 1921. Doyle had co-founded the Exchange Bank of Santa Rosa with his father Manville in 1890. When he died in 1948, 50.4% of the bank's common stock went into a perpetual trust funding the Frank P. Doyle and Polly O'Meara Doyle Scholarship Fund, which also sets aside $2,000 a year for the park's upkeep.

The park carries the name of Frank Pierce Doyle, co-founder of the Exchange Bank of Santa Rosa, who bought the land as a memorial to his 13-year-old son, who died during a tonsillectomy in 1921. A perpetual trust tied to the bank's stock funds the Frank P. Doyle and Polly O'Meara Doyle Scholarship Fund, which has given over $90 million to more than 135,000 Sonoma County students at Santa Rosa Junior College and sets aside $2,000 a year for the park's upkeep.

The paved trail runs from the Doyle Park Clubhouse on Hoen Avenue to a footbridge over Matanzas Creek at Vallejo Street, opposite Brook Hill School. The creeks sit about 4 m (13 ft) below the park level, so use the few marked access points to reach the water. Five picnic sites with barbecue grills can be reserved.

Frank Pierce Doyle bought the land as a memorial for his 13-year-old son, who died during a tonsillectomy in 1921. Doyle rode in the first private automobile across the Golden Gate Bridge two months before it opened, earning the nickname "Father of the Golden Gate." His estate left 50.4% of Exchange Bank stock to a scholarship fund that has given over $90 million to Sonoma County students and provides $2,000 a year for park maintenance.
