West Sacramento’s city council approved a construction contract with Abide Builders for major renovations at Westacre Park.

The highly anticipated expansion will begin in March and is currently slated to wrap up by May 2026, according to a statement from the city. This transformation will create a vibrant hub for recreation, fitness and fun for all ages, making it a go-to destination for the community.

Funded by the Prop 68 Statewide Park Development & Community Revitalization Grant, Westacre Park, at 1755 Evergreen Ave., will soon feature new amenities designed to enhance outdoor activities and community engagement. Some of those new amenities will include:

Brand-new skate park and pump track

A refreshing splash pad and climbing wall

Upgraded sports courts and fields

Modern public restrooms, shade structures, & ADA-compliant parking

Health & fitness labyrinth + innovative play structures

Enhanced lighting, trash receptacles and parking

According to reporting from the West Sacramento News Ledger, the total cost of the expansion is estimated at roughly $8,511,751, including $489,902 paid to the Melton Design Group for park designs and markups.

Westacre Park, though owned by the Washington Unified School District, is improved and maintained by the city through a joint use agreement with the local schools.

“Besides the recent grants for Bright Park, I believe it’s probably the second biggest grant ever for a park facility, allowing us to rebuild the entire thing,” West Sacramento City Manager Aaron Laurel shared. “This is a monumental lift to get this park rebuilt.”
