2nd Stop – MUIR PARK in Downtown Sacramento
Our 2nd stop on our Summer Sprayground tour was Muir Park in Downtown Sacramento. The water features at this park are those yellow poles you see in the photos. They are misters and they turn on when you push a button. The kids loved that they could operate them all by themselves. They would run from one to the next and try to keep them all going. You do not necessarily need bathing suits for this park. It was fun with them on but the kids did not get drenched.
The playground at this park has been updated and it has an ocean them. So cute! The big hit was the huge net climber with a trampoline in the middle. I’ve never seen anything like it! We were there early on a cloudy morning and had the park to ourselves, so I am not sure how crowded it usually is. A while back a reader emailed me and told me about this park. I am so glad that she did because it is sort of hidden back on C and 16th. I think that a great outing would be going to to the Central Library and then head over to Muir Park to play!

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!
