California State Capitol Park

California State Capitol Park is a public park surrounding the State Capitol in Sacramento that spans a large area and features diverse trees and plants from around the world. The grounds connect through pathways that lead to memorial sites and plant collections.

The park was created in 1863 when a governor established a Victorian garden around the Capitol building. Since then it grew into a place with many monuments and memorials added over time.

The grounds hold several monuments honoring California's soldiers and civil servants that visitors encounter while walking through. These memorials shape how the place looks and tells stories of people whose lives mattered to the state.

The park is easy to explore on foot since the paths are well-connected and clearly laid out. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow time for leisurely walking, especially when viewing the various plants and monuments.

The park preserves several trees from the 1800s and features a rose garden with many varieties. These living monuments give visitors a sense of how the landscape looked long ago.
