From the urban centers to rural communities, Sacramento County is a great place to live and play; partly because of the abundant parks and undeveloped green space that is woven throughout our communities. Did you know that the County Regional Parks oversees 15,000 acres of park and open space across the county? From Gibson Ranch in the north to Sherman Island in the south, with the American River Parkway in between, parks visitors can go rafting, hiking, biking, horseback riding, picnicking, wildlife viewing and much more. County parks have something for everyone.
This year, with declining budgets, the parks need your support. By purchasing a Sacramento County Annual Park Pass, starting at just $50, you will help keep parks maintained and safe. You will also help to preserve the Parkway as the “crown jewel” of Sacramento. It’s a good deal for everyone, the budget-conscious as well. An annual park pass gets you unlimited day use at all Sacramento County Parks and pays for itself in just ten visits. Discounted passes are also available for the income-qualified.
