Projects
Taco Plaza
Taco Plaza is transforming an underutilized parking lot at 2600 Northgate Boulevard into a vibrant, permanent community gathering space. In partnership with Tacos La Piedad, the Gardenland Northgate Neighborhood Association, the Office of Councilmember Karina Talamantes, the Office of Innovation & Economic Development, and the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation, this project builds on the existing taco truck activity that already brings people together at the site.
Taco Plaza recognizes tacos as more than food—they represent connection, culture, and community. With permanent seating, planters, lighting, shade trees, an iconic “TACO” letter installation, and a community-painted ground mural, the plaza creates a welcoming space where neighbors from all walks of life can gather, share meals, and make lasting memories along Northgate Boulevard.
Tanzanite Park Futsal Court Lighting Project
The Tanzanite Community Park futsal courts are now fully lit, allowing for safe evening play. Located at 2220 Tanzanite Avenue in Natomas, the upgraded lighting covers the courts, pathways, and parking lot, fulfilling a long-standing community request and making the park more accessible for all hours.
Thelma Park
Thelma Park transformed a once-vacant corner in South Natomas into a welcoming neighborhood space for play, connection, and community. Located at Thelma and Hawk avenues, the park now provides local families and residents with a new place to gather and enjoy the outdoors.
The 0.23-acre park at 2324 Thelma Ave. includes a shaded playground, picnic area, benches, and drought-tolerant landscaping. Designed with community input, Thelma Park reflects the City’s commitment to sustainability and investing in neighborhood parks that enhance quality of life.
