Parks & Gardens

Sunny days, a Mediterranean-like climate, wide open spaces, and a spirit of outdoor recreation? Redding was tailor-made for parks and gardens! Enjoy a stroll through the year-round botanical gardens or let the kids run wild at one of the playgrounds. They’re scattered around the city, so it’s easy to take a picnic break between convention sessions or whatever is filling your Redding vacation itinerary for the day. Or try Redding Recreations Park Finder, and find the best park for you. If you need a Frisbee, football, or a kite to turn an afternoon into a memory, we have shops for that, and your dog can tag along, usually on his/her leash.
