I'm a strong advocate of open space and nature areas and strongly support the Open Space/Natural Area designation to include the entire Mound and West Sutter’s Landing Park areas at Sutter’s Landing Park. Having natural areas for people to enjoy in balance with nature is vital to a thriving community and protecting the entire Mound and West Sutter's Landing Park areas as Open Space/Natural Area would provide that opportunity to our community. Not only does nature and the species that call Sutter's Landing home need protected space, but access allows for calm moments for citizens as well as urban cooling opportunities. Appreciate the opportunity to provide support.
Happy 916 Day!
I encourage you to support the designation of the 156-acres at Sutter's Landing Park including the entire Mound and West areas as Natural Areas. The Parks Plan 2040 Policies in Appendix D, Chapter 4 MAINTENANCE & STEWARDSHIP, calls for collaboration to identify and appropriately designate these areas. Specifically, Chapter 4.4.h "Establish a working group to provide guidance to City staff on nature, wildlife, and biological expertise." which would be helpful to establish now as we navigate the differences in maintenance and curation of Open Spaces, Natural Areas, and wildlife corridors, areas, and viewing areas.

I strongly support the Open Space/Natural Area designation that will apply to 156-acres at Sutter’s Landing Park including the entire Mound and West Sutter’s Landing Park areas. The narrow band of the American River Parkway's clasified as a "Protected Area' under the 2008 American River Parkway Plan needs the protective buffering that the "Open Space/Natural Areas" will provide.

Thank you for this opportunity to comment on the Sutter’s Landing Regional Park Site
Amenities Plan Update. I support the proposed updated site plan with the addition of the
designation of the Mound, the West Sutter’s Landing Park (former Blue Diamond and SMUD parcels), and Triangle properties as “Open Space/Natural Areas.” I understand this designation will be included in the staff recommendations to the City Council.
The updated Site Plan is a substantial improvement to the City’s vision for SLP for current and future generations of visitors to enjoy this incredible park. The plan appropriately protects and envisions eventual public access to key wildlife areas, provides opportunities for restoration, and locates more active recreational facilities in less environmentally sensitive locations. It is critical that the city establish parks and open space for us and future generations. As the city grows develops infill areas such as the former railyards site downtown, these spaces will become more critical to our residents and our wildlife.
Thanks again for the opportunity to comment on the updated Site Plan. I look forward to the adoption and implementation of this important plan.
As a resident of Sacramento for over 50 years, I support the updated SLP site plan, the city needs more easily accessible Open Space and Natural areas.

I support the I support the parks updated plan to include the mound and the west properties of sutters Landing park as open area spaces. This will be important for generations to come and for people who love Nature and come to visit it now.

I strongly support the Open Space/Natural Area designation that will apply to 156-acres at Sutter’s Landing Park including the entire Mound and West Sutter’s Landing Park areas. This Site Plan Update provides a positive vision for a large regional park adjacent to the American River Parkway that has broad community support. Thank you for supporting this plan.
I urge the council to support the updated SLP site plan. This park serves as the gateway to the American River Parkway for the public and has introduced many to nature and wildlife that depend on the area. A number of sensitive species have been documented to use habitats at SLP and designating these areas as "Open Space/Natural Areas" is necessary to protect them. This designation will also help the city qualify for state funding to further enhance and restore these important habitats. SLP provides access to everyone and the updates site plan will ensure a healthier environment into the future.
When is the 28th and B skatepark re-opening? We were ensured by YPCE staff and City Council members that it would not close due to the budget cuts or staffing issues, but it has not been open all summer nor have they posted any hours for the Fall or Winter.
As a lifelong Sacramentan, I strongly support the updated SLP site plan. I grew up and still live in Midtown, and I went to elementary school just a few blocks from the park. I loved learning about fish and biology through field trips to the park and exploring the riparian area with my family. By designating the Mound and West SLP properties in their entirety as “Open Space/Natural Areas”, the park can provide nature access and wildlife science education to future students, while preserving and restoring habitat for some of the region’s most special and threatened species. As previously mentioned, the Site Plan’s “Open Space/Natural Areas” designations will also help the City raise significant grant funding from the state’s Lower American River Conservancy and Wildlife Conservation Board, especially given the recent passage of Prop 4 and the extension of the Habitat Conservation Fund grant program to 2035.
I strongly support the updated Site Plan for Sutter’s Landing Regional Park, which designates the Mound and West SLP properties as “Open Space/Natural Areas.” This plan reflects a nature-based vision I have long championed, balancing playing fields and trails with habitat, closing the Two Rivers Trail gap, and expanding opportunities for children and community members to connect with the river’s natural and cultural history. This vision is essential to those of us who wish to experience our rivers and natural spaces — and for future generations who deserve a healthier environment and accessible, affordable places to play and explore. Thanks for your support!
Please support the Sutter’s Landing Regional Park (SLP) updated site plan. Currently, Sutter’s Landing Park offers only a small section of open space along the southern portion of the Lower American River. The community wants more access to the American River. Central City residents deserve the same wild river experiences that generations of residents in Sacramento County suburban communities have enjoyed. Invest in this dream. Thank you.
Please support the Sutter’s Landing Regional Park (SLP) updated site plan. SLP provides the City of Sacramento the rare opportunity to establish one of the greatest urban nature-oriented parks in California that will be enjoyed and celebrated by current and future generations. The Site Plan will help implement the City Council-adopted Parks Plan 2040’s “Key Direction 6: Foster Nature and Trail Connections.” Parks Plan 2040 identified “Trails for Walking and Biking, Places to Picnic and Gather, (and) Natural Places that Support Wildlife Habitat” as the three kinds of park areas Sacramentans value the most (Parks Plan 2040 at page 92). SLP provides important habitat for a rich variety of wildlife and opportunities for restoration. Wildlife areas like this can help kids to learn science. The Site Plan’s “Open Space/Natural Areas” designations will also help the City raise significant grant funding from the state’s Lower American River Conservancy/Wildlife Conservation Board. The Site Plan provides an important vision for this incredible riverside park and enjoys broad community support. Please support this plan. Thank you.
