Sacramento's Sutter’s Landing Park Plans ADA Accessible Trail, Seeks Public Input for Inclusive River Access

Sacramento’s Sutter’s Landing Regional Park is set to become more accessible with the development of an ADA-compliant trail to the south side of the American River. The city's Department of Youth, Parks, & Community Enrichment secured a grant for this project, which aims to improve accessibility while preserving the park’s natural features and providing greater river access, according to the City of Sacramento.The city is seeking public input for the new trail project through a survey, open until 9 p.

m. on February 25, to finalize the trail's alignment. The project includes an ADA-compliant trail, a non-motorized boat launch, rehabilitated areas, and interpretive signs.



Jason Wiesemann, Youth, Parks, & Community Enrichment’s park planning and development services manager, stated, "The design team is looking at different options and will make their recommendation based on factors like cost, impacts on the river, utilities, public feedback, support from agencies, ease of access, and environmental concerns," as stated by the City of Sacramento.The ADA River Access Trail project, discussed at an open house in December, aims to create an accessible path to the American River. Funding for design and compliance has been provided by the Wildlife Conservation Board, but construction funds are still being sought.

Updates and trail concepts are available on the City of Sacramento’s website for those interested..
