Danny Nunn Park

History and Overview

Positioned on Power Inn Road in Sacramento, Danny Nunn Park (previously called Florin Reservoir Park) spans a generous 12.44 acres of green space. This nearby location has become a natural meeting point for community events and everyday recreation. With its open layout and well-kept grounds, it offers a peaceful escape for family outings without having to venture far from the city.

Sports Facilities

If you're into sports, you'll appreciate the park's athletic offerings. Two lighted soccer fields mean the fun doesn't have to end when the sun goes down, and soccer enthusiasts regularly gather here for seasonal matches. There's also a lighted rugby field for those who prefer the oval ball. Looking for something more casual? The basketball court welcomes players of all skill levels, while walking paths wind through the park, excellent for getting those steps in or enjoying a leisurely stroll.

Playground Areas

Kids have not one, but two distinct playground areas to explore here. The little ones (toddlers and preschoolers) have their own dedicated space with age-appropriate equipment, while older children can enjoy their separate playground that got a fresh upgrade in 2024. The newer equipment offers more play options, keeping the experience exciting for regular visitors.

Community Features

One of the park's standout features is its community garden, where local residents roll up their sleeves and connect through urban agriculture. The garden provides an opportunity for residents to connect through shared gardening activities. Around the park, you'll come across open turf areas that serve as flexible spaces - ideal for impromptu frisbee games, picnics, or just lounging with a good book.

When it's time to gather and eat, head to the gazebo with picnic tables. The entire park is enclosed by fencing with specific entry gates, adding an extra layer of security that parents especially appreciate.

Amenities and Limitations

You can find drinking fountains placed conveniently across the grounds to keep you hydrated during your visit. One important thing to note: there are no restroom facilities available in the park. This is definitely worth keeping in mind if you're planning to spend several hours here, especially with children.

Ongoing Improvements

Danny Nunn Park isn't standing still. The city continues to invest in upgrades and enhancements to the recreational facilities, with the recent playground renovation being just one example of this commitment. These ongoing improvements continue to enhance the park's facilities for Sacramento residents.
