Rose garden , path around the capital, and the various memorials throughout the park make any day excursion to Sacramento complete. Expansive lawns allow for privacy in conversations or for solitude.

Did you know? The Civil War Memorial Grove was the first monument in Capitol Park. The trees , each from a different battlefield, were just saplings when the Grove was dedicated in 1896. Read more

A must-stop place for anyone visiting Sacramento. Take a few minutes to stroll along the trees and rose garden , or take a seat and read for awhile. So tranquil.

The purpose of this demonstration garden is to educate and inspire Californians about the important lessons gardens teach to students, children and people of all ages—lessons rooted in nutrition. Read more

Usually only go down during the daytime, but did enjoy the evening with my family and the Theatre of Lights. Being able to visit some of the stores was nice, and early enough to miss the bar crowd. - Anna-Marie Bratton
