We invite you to partner with us in honoring this important place in Capitola history. Overlooking the Soquel Creek, the Rispin Mansion property has been a land-mark in our community for more than a century. Today it is transforming into The Park at Rispin Mansion --- a public space where history, nature and community Life come together.

Two of the site’s most iconic features—the Rose Arbor and the Ornamental Fountain---once formed the romantic heart of the estate’s gardens. Time and weather have taken their toll. The arbor is now gone, and the fountain is in need of careful rehabilitation by preservation specialists.

Every gift makes a difference in bringing The Park at Rispin Mansion to life. Thank you for helping Capitola care for its past, present and future. We welcome and appreciate donations at all levels, including those who are inspired to give beyond this range.
