Anna Jacobsen, Founder of Better Claremont Playgrounds

Anna Jacobsen is an urban planner and Claremont parent who founded Better Claremont Playgrounds after hearing the same refrain from parents again and again: our parks matter deeply to young families, yet many families were driving to other cities because Claremont’s playgrounds were not meeting the needs of our kids. In the years following the pandemic, when parks became central gathering places and a lifeline for connection, those conversations took on new urgency.

In 2025, Anna helped transition the effort into a nonprofit, The Play Collective, where she serves as Board President. Professionally, she is the founder of CityWise, a public policy consulting firm focused on strategic planning and community engagement.

Ms. Jacobsen is currently running for Claremont City Council in the 2026 elections for District 4.

Club Program: 7pm - 7:45pm — Anna Jacobsen, Founder of Better Claremont Playgrounds

General Membership Meeting Agenda

Executive Board Meeting Agenda

Since 1953, we have been working to elect Democrats and support policies consistent with the ideals of the Democratic party. We meet the last Monday of every month for programs and discussions around policy priorities and candidates in local, state and national elections. Our meetings are social, and also provide an opportunity for learning and activism.

Joining the Democratic Club of Claremont puts you in the room to vote on key policy priorities, candidate endorsements and events to support Democrat policies and candidates. We are an all volunteer organization, so 100% of your dues and donations provide direct support to the club.
