Southside Park — Attraction in Sacramento

Loved it. While the architecture from this period is commonly attributed to Victorian gold miners, characteristics of West End, such as multi-storied buildings, large arched doorways, full-height balcony windows and the use of decorative wrought-iron balconies, were most ubiquitous in parts of Spain and the Spanish colonies. This influence may be attributed to the fact that the period of Spanish then Mexican rule in California enjoyed immigration from all over the Atlantic, including Spain and the Canary Islands, and the Spanish colonies.

The architecture of Old Town Sacramento (formerly known as West End) exhibits observable characteristics similar to that of San Juan (Puerto Rico), Havana (Cuba), Tampico (Mexico), Seville (Spain), Santa Cruz de Teneriffe (Canary Islands), Madrid (Spain).

While the architectural style of Old Sacramento, with its wrought iron balconies and evenly spaced full-height windows may remind one of Paris, it should be noted that Sacramento's oldest buildings predate the Haussmann Projects that renovated large areas of Paris in that style In 2013 the City of Atlanta funded a study by the trail consulting arm of the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) which was completed in December, 2013. The resulting Conceptual Design Report describes a potential for 6.5 miles of natural surface trail (known in mountain biking circles as "singletrack") suitable for bicyclists, runners and hikers.

The report includes detailed trail design information and cost estimates. The planned trails are situated in a "stacked loop" system, guiding visitors through progressively more challenging terrain as they move deeper into the forest. The planned trail system features a beginner loop, intermediate loop and advanced loop, as well as a wooden boardwalk and bridge over Poole Creek.

In 2016 the 1.2-mile beginner loop was constructed using funds donated by Recreational Equipment, Inc. under direction of the Atlanta Chapter of the Southern Offroad Bicycling Association .In October, 2016 the City of Atlanta and representatives of affiliated organizations and the local community officially opened the...

A beautiful fall morning in the most diverse city in the world, and I'm not just talking ethnically. Culturally and economically represented in the community, one can witness all walks of life, enjoying the parks amenities. Some like to state their fear of the unknown, without a grasp of reality, to scare people from enjoying this beautiful park. Unfortunately we have homeless throughout our communities across the region, but simply labeling someone homeless and categorizing them as such without understanding that individual is a human first, really weakens the fabric that binds us as a community. We should all seek knowledge of our surroundings instead of labeling and discarding them. I'm not saying to engage in what you fear, but realize the limitations you put upon someone for trying to exist. A person with a visual knife on their person is legal, because you are aware of it, and they are not brandishing it. It's silly to fear the known over the unknown. Most people I know carry knives. They are tools for everyday life, not just weapons. Anything can be a weapon, so we should feel out people first, and judge an environment based on actual reality, not fantasy of potential situations. The surrounding community of the park gives it a feel of acceptance with all life. It's a city, with diversity, which gives different perceptions on potential backgrounds of living out of necessity and the out of touch who can put differences aside and enjoy amenities over perceived threats. So grab your blanket, stake your spot, enjoy your time. It's similar to Dolores Park in the spring. It's a beautiful park...

This is only in reference to the Pickleball Courts. People here were rude! My husband and I were visiting our son in Sacramento. Our other kids drove over from Tracy and Oakland to meet us. My husband and I love pickleball. We play all the time and have went to various pickleball places. This one was not welcoming. Came across two different women who were extremely rude. We love the pickleball communities we have come across and always had a great experience. I would not recommend this one. We only met one lady named Marnie who was absolutely a sweet heart. Everyone else were a bunch of snobs. It’s sad because we just wanted to spend time with our kids who we don’t see often and show them the game of Pickleball which we truly love. We still stayed and played for awhile because most of the people ended up leaving afterwhile. To those of you who are rude to new people shame on you. You were once new to the game. You had to learn the game as well. If I come back I want to challenge those who were rude to us to a game. I watched most of you play and yall are not that good. Pretty sad that you treat people this way. At this point I won’t be coming back to these pickleball courts. I’m so thankful for the community I play with in my town. They are so welcoming and wonderful. I hope y’all change your attitude and the way you...
