McKinley Park, historic city park in Sacramento, California, United States

McKinley Park is a 32-acre (13 ha) city park in East Sacramento built by the Sacramento Street Railway Company in 1871. It holds basketball and tennis courts, soccer fields, a baseball diamond first installed in 1927, and a rose garden created in 1928. Lake Keisel, named for Frederick Keisel, son of a railway company owner, sits at the center with a duck and goose nesting island added in 1988.

The park was established in 1871 by the Sacramento Street Railway Company under the name East Park and renamed in 1902 to honor President William McKinley. Major renovations in 1988 and 2017 reshaped the grounds and updated facilities for modern use.

The park's name honours President William McKinley, renamed from East Park after his assassination in 1901. Its 1928 rose garden hosts weddings and other events, and Lake Keisel, named for Frederick Keisel, son of a Sacramento Street Railway Company owner, draws visitors to watch ducks and geese on its 1988 nesting island.

McKinley Park lies about 3 km east of downtown Sacramento, bordered by H Street, Alhambra Boulevard and McKinley Boulevard. Paths circle Lake Keisel, whose 1988 renovation added a duck and goose nesting island; the 2017 work improved water quality. Sports facilities include basketball and tennis courts, soccer fields and a baseball diamond first installed in 1927.

Lake Keisel, the park's central pond, is named after Frederick Keisel, son of one of the Sacramento Street Railway Company's owners. In 1988 the lake was renovated and an island was added for ducks and geese to nest on; a 2017 renovation improved its water quality.
