😄 It's been so much fun sharing with you! As it draws to a close, we can't help reflecting on the theme, "Where You Belong."

Belonging isn't just about being present; it's about being part of something greater - the connections we forge not just in our parks, but in every corner of our lives.

And in Elk Grove, parks are more than just sites on a map. They're where we find community, where laughter fills the air, where families gather and friends meet, and where everyone, regardless of their background, can feel at home. Here's to our parks, our city, and the beauty all around us. This is where WE belong! 🌳💚🌳

We’re BUZZING with gratitude for our Park Rangers! 🌳🐝💚

From planting native flowers to creating and maintaining wildlife habitats, our Rangers forge a deep connection with the land. For them, every park is more than just an open space—it’s a place where people can enjoy the outdoors and wildlife can find food and shelter. Our Rangers nurture the environment for both present and future generations.
