More Photos of William Land Park WPA Rock Garden in Land Park, Sacramento - Part 3

If you haven't met Myrl Jeffcoat, a busy agent in Sacramento, you're in for a treat. She's simply delightful and filled with interesting stories about what it was like to grow up in the Land Park area. I try to get together with Myrl at least every couple months or so for lunch. We ferret out interesting restaurants in Sacramento to explore.

One of my favorite lunch-time spots is Ricksha on 10th Street, just north of W Street. Their box lunches are $5.99, and I guarantee you'll wobble out of that place satiated and happy. Myrl and I had lunch at Ricksha yesterday.  She mentioned trying to get into the WPA Rock Garden at William Land Park on the day of the SSPCA Doggie Dash, but all the streets were blocked off for the SSPCA event.

So, Myrl, this is for you. Here are the last of my photographs of the Rock Garden in Land Park, Sacramento. You can find the entrance just east of Land Park Drive on 15th Street. One of the photos shows you the view from the pond, so you can figure out how to get into the rock garden from the back side, too. And if anybody can identify that bird, please let me know. I was thinking it might be a night heron, but what do I know?

Ready For More Photos of the Rock Garden at William Land Park? Check Out Part 2.

Usually when I walk along the manicured paths of the WPA Rock Garden in William Land Park, I see very few visitors. It's not crowded. Oh, you might spot a few kids playing hide-and-seek or the lone photographer snapping pictures of flowers, but the Rock Garden in Land Park doesn't have an abundance of people roaming through. I've been there at different times of the day and various days of the week, and it's always quiet.

In fact, I bet a lot of people don't even know it is there. The garden is sort of tucked away behind the pond and geese. You'll find an entrance on 15th Avenue just east of Land Park Drive. But you can also access the Rock Garden through the back by going up the hill from the pond, south of the golf course.

Depending on the time of year, you'll see flora and fauna in various stages of growth. Spring is probably my favorite time to visit the Rock Garden. Here are recent photos that I shot last weekend. I especially like the poppy in the last photo:

Check Out the WPA Rock Garden at William Land Park in Sacramento (Part I)

One of the things that I like best about living in the Sacramento neighborhood of Land Park is the fact I can walk along our tree-canopied streets to just about anywhere. I walk not only to typical places such as restaurants, gift shops, boutiques, the Land Park Tower Theatre or Taylor's Market, but we have our very own William Land Park, which boasts over 11 acres of gently rolling grassy hills and a golf course, jogging trails, ponds, baseball field, an abundance of trees, picnic areas and more.

Tucked away on the southeastern side of the lake is a hidden treasure often passed by, the WPA Rock Garden. The 3/4 acre, established 69 years ago, is tended by Daisy Mah. The garden is filled with trees, plants and flowers, most of which are indigenous to California, and features a walking path that winds through the garden. Here are a few photos (more to come later) that I hope you will enjoy enough to make your own special trip to the William Land Park WPA Rock Garden:
