Golden Poppy Park Water Misters

✓ Last confirmed for the 2025 season

A modest interactive mister area rather than a full spray ground, good for a quick cool-down. The park also has a basketball court and a jogging trail looping the grounds.

When to go. Peak summer highs in Sacramento average 93°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
