The Folsom Parks & Recreation Department offers endless opportunities for exciting, enriching activities for the entire family. There’s never been a better time to get outside and get active in Folsom!

Our city’s 49 beautiful parks and 50+ miles of paved recreational trails provide ample opportunities to enjoy Folsom’s stunning natural setting. Visit your neighborhood park to enjoy a family picnic or relax in the shade at one of our covered picnic areas. If you’re more interested in working up a sweat, opt for a nature hike, bike ride, or a meet-up with friends at our many sports courts.

We invite you to explore our newest park, Prospector Park, an 11.8-acre community space in Folsom Ranch. The park features a children’s play area, multi-use field, dog parks, tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts, along with a group picnic area.
