About Us

Established in 1958 through Public Resources Code 5780 (Principle Act), we are an independent special district governed by an elected Board of Directors.  We provide quality recreational programs, parks and services for our diverse and growing region. We currently operate over 47 parks and facilities across more than 600 acres of urban and open space. We also operate Cordova Golf Course which is a full-service 18-Hole course with a lighted driving range, pro-shop and lessons from PGA professionals. We host dozens of events throughout the year and provide athletic, educational and creative outlets for children and adults of all ages.

We proudly serve communities within Sacramento County including the City of Rancho Cordova and the communities of Gold River, Larchmont, Mather, Riviera East, Rosemont and additional unincorporated portions of Sacramento County. Click here for a map of our boundaries.

We are primarily funded through property assessments and fees. The balance of the operating budget is supported through registration fees, rental fees and grants. We strive to use its resources wisely and always with an eye towards reinvesting in our community for generations to come.
