06-2025 Scandia Fun Center in Hight rate 13 location for tourist in Sacramento, CA (part 3)McKinley Rose Garden - Sacramento Nam Nguyen: Our family has visited this lovely rose garden, nestled in the corner of Sacramentos historic McKinley Park and neighborhood, many times over the past 27 years. The best time to visit is from late spring, around Mothers Day, through mid-summer. Its a gorgeous and romantic setting, perfect for taking photos and videos. With at least 50 kinds of roses in many different color variations, its a great place to relax by walking or simply sitting on a bench and reading a book.

Sand Cove Park - Sacramento Liquid Skybot: Nice little hidden treasure..not too many people know about this place so it is typically uncrowded. It has a shallow area where you can let small kids play and because it is shallow the water can get a little warmer. Best part is sand everywhere. The entire beach has sand. Fisherman love this place and I have never been here and not seen someone fishing.
John Muir Childrens Park - Sacramento Regan Brunetti: Love this place and very thankful that the midtown association is doing free sound baths in the summer here. Its such a great spot for it!
Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park - Sacramento Kariforunia Jin: 03/2025
Visited on a somewhat cloudy Saturday.
~1.5 - 2 years after the parks groundbreaking.
I came to see if the Cherry blossoms have finally been able to bloom.
My expectations were quite low, given reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised.
For the small parks size, theres a good amount of seating throughout the park. It was pretty clean, though I cant say much about the surrounding area along the adjacent bike path. It wasnt dirty, but it wasnt exactly clean either.
I was able to see some trees with a few flowers blooming, which was pretty exciting, but theyre still a few years off. The trees need 5-7 years to reach a full, healthy bloom. So if youre going to visit for hanami, visit sometime in Spring 2028.
Overall, the park as it stands now isnt amazing. The layout is nice for strolling through, but with the trees still in their infancy, theres not much to see. That said, I can see the potential. I hope the groundskeepers can maintain it so we can have our own Cherry Blossom viewing in Sacramento!
John C. Fremont Park - Sacramento Arnold Zirbel: Although the park was very busy in the late afternoon when I was there, I managed to locate an available bench and sat with my small dog and enjoyed some quality "people watching". It was nice to watch parents playing with their children, laughing and running around. There were also several people playing basketball and volleyball.
Swanston Park - Sacramento Ophelia Calvillo: They have kid friendly safe water splashing in the summer, tennis courts, barbeque areas, picnic tables, exercise areas, restrooms, and nicely updated sanded walking areas. It was well maintained during my last visit.
(Prior post) I went early with my dog at 6 am to run. There was litter out of the trash and insufficient lighting to be around certain areas of the park. I like this park and wish others would clean up after themselves to make it a better and safe place for all to enjoy.
Dart - Roberta Peek: These life-size darts lining the street are so fun and simply fun to see. If in the area at least do a quick drive-by to check them out.
River Walk Park - West Sacramento Victoria V.: Park is clean and safe during daytime with great views of the river and Old Sacramento Train Depot. Plenty of wildlife:birds of all sorts and occasionally seals will rest on the dock. Peaceful and serene atmosphere, what else one would want?
