i know there's lots of landscaped grounds around the capitol, but not a playground area. that might be a place to start.

The UC Davis Arboretum. It isn't in Sacramento but is relatively close and I think there is decent parking near the arboretum and on campus.

Thank you, that's great idea! I've never been but it looks beautiful on the website.

McKinley Park (601 Alhambra) has a really neat wooden playground/structure, as well as a duck pond, rose gardens, and a decorative fountain, so that would be my first suggestion.

Another option is at Arden & McClaren, the "William B. Pond Recreation Area" is pretty and borders the river.

Thank you, will check those out!

This. I love this place simply for the aesthetics. :)

I second McKinley Park - it's a really great place for photos, and has a decent playground.
