Winn Park

Albert Winn Park is a 2.5-acre public park located in Midtown Sacramento, California. The park is named after General Albert M. Winn, the founder of the Order of Native Sons of the Golden West. Established in the early 20th century, it has served as a focal point for the surrounding residential neighborhood for decades.

The park features a mix of open green spaces and shaded areas, with mature trees providing ample cover for visitors seeking respite from the sun. Its central location in Midtown makes it easily accessible to residents and visitors alike, serving as a popular spot for various recreational activities and community gatherings.

At the heart of the park stands a two-story building constructed in 1937 under the Works Progress Administration (WPA). This structure, formerly a fire alarm relay station, adds a touch of historical significance to the park and serves as a focal point for the surrounding landscape.

Albert Winn Park has undergone various revitalization efforts over the years to maintain its relevance and appeal to the community. The park hosts public events, including performances that have been part of the city's summer municipal concert series. On Wednesdays, the park comes alive with vendors and music, creating a vibrant atmosphere for visitors.

The park's layout includes intersecting axial pathways that converge at the central building, creating an organized and easily navigable space. The perimeter of the park is lined with evenly spaced, mature palm trees, adding to its aesthetic appeal and providing additional shade.
