About Midtown Parks
Midtown Parks, which focuses on investing in Fremont Park, Marshall Park, Sutter’s Fort, Muir Park, Truitt Bark Park and Winn Park, was established in 2019 as the 501(c)(3) arm of the Midtown Association. Midtown Parks aims to support the well-being of the community by creating centrally located public spaces that provide opportunities for recreation, leisure, and to build relationships with neighbors. Parks and open spaces encourage active lifestyles and promote social interaction, which are essential components of enhancing physical and mental health. Based on hundreds of proven public-private partnership models throughout the country, Midtown Parks provides a path towards achieving these goals.
Transportation
All five parks provide a green space in the densely populated yet easy-to-navigate central grid. Transportation options include hourly street parking, SacRT bus & light rail, rideshare, as well as walking and biking. Check out our transportation tips to getting around Midtown.
