Sacramento County Parks

Sacramento County's Department of Regional Parks maintains and operates more than 15,000 acres of parks throughout the County. Open spaces, multi-use trails, sports facilities, golf courses, river access and picnic areas offer outdoor adventure for every taste. They have developed strong partnerships with their volunteer and non-profit partners, with steady support from our elected officials. The heart and soul of their operations is the people - nearly one hundred employees who keep our parks safe, vibrant and inviting.
