Beeman Park

A Neighborhood Retreat Since 1983

Tucked behind the Elk Grove Unified School District offices at 8830 Sharkey Avenue, Beeman Park has been a quiet refuge for locals since the early '80s. This cozy 3.5-acre community space might not be the biggest park in town, but it has become a familiar spot for neighborhood residents over the past four decades.

The park is currently scheduled for renovation, with revitalization plans in the works for this established community space.

What You'll Find Today

At the heart of Beeman Park stands the renovated Gil Albiani Recreation Center, a hub for community programs where neighbors come together for various activities. Take a stroll along the winding paths that meander through mature trees and open green spaces - ideal for both energetic play days and those moments when you just need to clear your head with a peaceful walk.

What's Coming Next

The Cosumnes Community Services District has been busy gathering community input during their outreach meetings in early 2024. They've developed thoughtful plans based on what actual residents want to see in their neighborhood park.

So what can you look forward to? The aging playground is getting a complete replacement, and fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the addition of adult exercise equipment. The overall look and feel of the park will be refreshed, with improved sight lines making the space feel more open and welcoming. Some of the older pear trees may be replaced with new plantings as part of this aesthetic upgrade.

When to Expect Changes

If you're eager to see these improvements, you'll need a bit of patience. Construction is slated to begin in spring 2025, with the renewed park likely opening its gates in late 2025 or early 2026.

When completed, the revitalized Beeman Park will offer Elk Grove residents updated amenities and refreshed spaces that better align with what the community uses today.
