Linear Park

Winding Through Fairfield

Linear Park meanders for over 6 miles along what used to be the Sacramento North Railway Right of Way. At its heart lies a paved Class 1 bicycle path that's become something of a lifeline for both cyclists and pedestrians looking for a car-free journey through town.

The smooth, paved trail works well for everyone from serious cyclists to families with strollers, functioning as both a place to play and a green pathway cutting through Fairfield's urban landscape.

Places to Play and Pause

Across the park, you'll come across spots designed for both energy-burning and relaxation. Several playgrounds dot the route, including a particularly nice one near 5th Street where kids can climb, slide, and swing to their hearts' content.

When hunger strikes or your legs need a break, picnic tables and benches are available along the route, good for everything from a quick snack to a family picnic.

Wildlife Corridor

What makes Linear Park special is how it doubles as a nature preserve right in the middle of the city. Keep your eyes peeled and you might spot deer grazing at dawn or dusk, the occasional coyote trotting along the edges, or any number of bird species flitting through the trees.

The stretches of greenery create a peaceful space where the surrounding city seems to fade away, offering a nice break in nature.

Easy to Find, Easy to Use

Linear Park weaves through Fairfield with multiple entry points along the way. No matter which neighborhood you're coming from, there's likely a convenient way to access the trail.

Beyond recreation, this green corridor functions as part of Fairfield's transportation network, providing options for car-free travel through the city.
