The weather is great right now…so before it gets cloudy and rainy, take advantage and play outside!

One of our favorite parks in Sacramento is Southside Park.  So if you are looking for a new playground that will excite your kids, try out this SPACE-THEMED one!  We love taking a picnic, feeding  the ducks, and meeting up with friends there!  Check out the map below for directions.

The scoop:

Great for ALL ages
Tons of playground equipment
Gated play area
Woodchips
Bathrooms
Duck pond
Picnic Areas
Great photo opps

Reader’s Suggestion:

“On Sundays, the Farmer’s Market is a block away under the freeway.  Grab a pastry, cup of coffee, and some fruit for the kids.”  Thanks, Kristi Morioka!

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
