Along with the Fabulous Forties, Land Park is one of Sacramento’s oldest and most historic neighborhoods to live in. It is located around William Land Park, which is really the hub of the community activity. Its elegant homes are like pages, plucked from a storybook. 

The park itself is 207.34 developed acres which includes amenities such as Adventure Play Area, Fairytale Town, Funderland, Sacramento Zoo, Gold Course, Basketball Court, Rock Garden, Wading Pool and much more. It acts as a bridge to South Land Park, a very enchanting neighborhood. On its east, sits Curtis Park, another neighborhood with lush, towering trees and magnificent Mediterranean, Tudor and craftsman style homes.

On the north, it goes all the way to Broadway, where one can have brunch at Tower Cafe,  “Sacramento’s best brunch spot”. Freeport Blvd separates Curtis Park and Land Park and Sacramento City College is right there, walking distance to those who live in either neighborhood. Sutterville Rd is the southern border of Land Park and on the south of it sits South Land Park. Riverside Blvd separates Land Park from Upper Land Park, where Sacramento Historic City Cemetery is located. As mentioned before, Land Park, just like the Fabulous Forties, is a place to visit, even if one is just visiting Sacramento. It would be fun just to walk it, bike it or even drive it. Everything is quite distinctive in this neighborhood. What is strong in this neighborhood is its Sense of Community: They have “Meet your neighbor” events throughout the year as well as advocating for park improvements through a neighborhood association.
