Third Places

Third places are the spaces where people gather outside of home and work. From neighborhood cafés and parks to libraries and public plazas, these welcoming places foster connection, conversation, and community.

Find your home away from home, downtown.

Downtown Plaza Park

An emerging cultural destination meant for everyone. Visit seasonal farmers markets, play a round of cornhole, or catch a concert in the summertime.

Old Sacramento Waterfront Embarcadero

Kick back and enjoy some of the best views in Sacramento while lounging or enjoying a meal from one of many unique restaurants in Old Sacramento Waterfront.

Old Sacramento State Historic Park

A landmark with some of California’s earliest history is now a spot to relax, picnic on the grass, and even catch a movie at Halloween time.

Ali Youssefi Square

A spot filled with fun activations like the new Roller Rink, Downtown Ice Rink, block parties, and Sacramento Kings watch parties.

DOCO (Downtown Commons)

Home to Golden 1 Center and the Sacramento Kings, DOCO has it all. Get some delicious food, get a fresh outfit, go to the movies, workout, or just get some coffee and people watch.
