Beautiful park right next to the Capitol Building. Has plants from all over California and a beautiful rose garden. There are bathrooms around the mid-point of the park. Great place for photos.

California State Capitol Park offers a serene retreat amidst the bustling heart of Sacramento. The park's expansive grounds are meticulously landscaped, providing a tranquil oasis for visitors to unwind and appreciate the state's historical significance.
As I relaxed on one of the park's benches, I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and observed the blend of locals and tourists exploring the pathways lined with diverse flora. The centerpiece of the park, the California State Capitol
Overall, California State Capitol Park is not just a scenic green space but a living testament to the state's vibrant past and promising future. Whether you're a history enthusiast, nature lover, or simply seeking a peaceful respite, this park provides a memorable experience that captures the essence of California's enduring legacy.

Nice clean park. Not huge, but good size for a quick walk and views!

The Sacramento Christmas Parade Dec 9, 2023 was great. As to the State Capital Park, most of the park bordering the east side of the Capitol is fenced off for renovation and replacement of that section of the Capital so you can't enjoy most of the park. The front of the Capital and that green area is nice.

A Green Thumb's Paradise at Capitol Park, Sacramento

Capitol Park is like a botanical 'Where's Waldo?' but for trees, flowers, and plants. Walking around this park is a crash course in botany, without the homework. Everywhere you look, there's a new leafy friend, and the best part? They're all labeled – it's like nature's version of a name tag meet-and-greet.

This park isn't just cool; it's like a living, breathing plant encyclopedia. You can stroll around, soaking in the beauty and walk away a bit smarter about the green world. The variety of vegetation is impressive – it's like Mother Nature decided to show off her portfolio.

In summary, if you’re into plants, or just want to walk around a place that’s both beautiful and educational, Capitol Park is your spot. It’s a peaceful escape in the heart of Sacramento, where every tree and flower seems eager to tell its story. Just don’t forget to say hello to each one – it’s only polite!

Le Capitole de Californie est le siège de l'état. En effet, Sacramento est la capitale administrative de Californie. C'est donc ici que siège le gouverneur de Californie. C'était le lieu de travail de Schwarzenegger. Capitale administrative, la ville est donc plus active en semaine et plutôt calme le week-end. Le bâtiment en lui-même est très beau et le parc à l'arrière du bâtiment également. Vaut le coup d'œil.

An absolutely beautiful place The Rose garden was magnificent, a variety of different roses all beautiful and in bloom.

Looks and feels like a botanical garden with every tree having its type printed on a plaque below.

Our visit to the California State Capitol was a delightful experience. The Neoclassical architecture, designed by Reuben S. Clark in 1874, is truly captivating. Surrounding the Capitol, you'll find the beautiful Capitol Mall and Capitol Park. While we couldn't explore the Capitol Museum due to our weekend visit, the park itself offered a serene escape. The park boasts 155 memorials celebrating California's history and people, and the 40 acres of gardens were a lush, peaceful retreat. A must-visit for history and nature enthusiasts.
