Where Play Meets Nature

Nestled along the banks of Dry Creek, Saugstad Park stretches across 7.73 acres of green space that seamlessly blends recreational facilities with natural beauty. This park in Roseville provides space to play, relax, and connect with nature.

Puppy Paradise

If you've got a four-legged friend, you'll appreciate the spacious dog park where your pup can run free off-leash. The area is securely fenced with a grassy surface that's gentle on those paws. There's ample shade for hot days and plenty of seating for humans to relax while their dogs socialize.

Just a heads-up: while there's a water fountain near the restrooms outside the dog area, you won't find one inside the dog park itself. It's a good idea to bring your own water bottle for your thirsty companion, especially during those warm California days.

Family Fun Spot
