Discover the wounded and wild at heart at Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary. The sanctuary is home to rescued and rejected animals, including bobcats, tigers, monkeys, skunks, raccoons, bears, foxes, miniature donkeys, coyotes, wolves and owls. Spend 45 minutes in a non-zoo environment and leave with a wild respect for wildlife.

Run, bike and walk outdoors along the American River Parkway, aka Jedediah Smith Memorial Bicycle Trail. You'll travel a spectacularly scenic 3.2 mile trail that runs from Old Sacramento to Folsom Lake offering many entry and exit points along the way.

Music lovers in love: put a romantic spin on your next date and spend a Saturday night being serenaded at East Sacramento's Pops in the Park. Bring your favorite blanket and low-back chairs for comfy sitting. Enjoy holding hands and sitting close together while hearing live music. A neighborhood tradition since 1995, the park has hosted concerts from classic rock-n-roll to electrify/violinist concerts.
