WEST SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - Party in the Park at Heritage Oaks Park is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17, in West Sacramento.

Food, water bottles and souvenir stickers will be available at the park, located at 1300 Lake Washington Blvd. in the Southport community. 

Events scheduled during the day include performances in the outdoor amphitheater, including live music and tree circus demonstrations. 

The city recently completed a $7.8 million park renovation, which began in August 2025. 

West Sacramento acquired Heritage Oaks Park about 10 years ago. The park was home to Tree Top Sacramento, a zipline park operated by a private company that took advantage of large oak trees found on the nine-acre property.

But Tree Top Sacramento closed in fall 2023, after less than four years of operation. Kletterwald USA, which operated the location, cited rising insurance premiums for the closure. 

The renovation included construction of a new outdoor amphitheater, nature play area, water play area and playground.

Of the more than $7.8 million spent on the project, $4,833,175 came from park impact fees while the remaining $3 million was from the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

Park impact fees are charges levied on new real estate developments, with funds going toward neighborhood and community park infrastructure, trails and recreational facilities. 

The Land and Water Conservation Fund directs federal dollars to recreation opportunities across the nation, especially for natural areas, water resources and cultural heritage sites.

Heritage Oaks Park is open from dawn to dusk.
