## The list

1. [Beals Point (Folsom Lake State Recreation Area)](https://ourplayday.com/places/beals-point-folsom-lake) (attraction, Folsom). A Folsom Lake beach with a big grassy picnic area, kayak and paddleboard rentals and the start of the American River bike trail. How much beach you get depends on the lake level.
2. [Livermore Community Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/livermore-community-park) (playground, Folsom). A sports park with a very Folsom twist: a replica gold-rush mining flume that pours into a shallow creek kids wade through in summer. There's a playground too.
3. [BusyKids Play Town and Coffee Shop](https://ourplayday.com/places/busykids-play-town-folsom) (attraction, Folsom). A mini pretend town modelled on real Folsom shops, with an espresso bar for the grown-ups. Kids one to ten run the town while you drink your coffee hot for once.
4. [Folsom Powerhouse State Historic Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/folsom-powerhouse-state-historic-park) (park, Folsom). The 1895 power plant that first lit up Sacramento, with the giant old generators still inside. Best for school-age kids, and a short walk from Sutter Street.
5. [Lembi Community Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/lembi-community-park) (playground, Folsom). Folsom's sports park, wrapped around the aquatic center, with playgrounds between the fields and a trail that joins the bike path. Great if a big sibling has a game.
6. [Folsom Public Library](https://ourplayday.com/places/folsom-public-library) (library, Folsom). Folsom's library, with a picture book room and drop-in story time for little ones, a short walk from the zoo and the mini train.
7. [Castle Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/castle-park-folsom) (playground, Folsom). Folsom's beloved castle playground, rebuilt and reopened in 2026 with the turrets and the dragon slide back. There's a toddler area and a big-kid side, plus swings built for kids of all abilities.
8. [Folsom History Museum](https://ourplayday.com/places/folsom-history-museum) (museum, Folsom). Folsom's Gold Rush history on Sutter Street, small enough for short attention spans. Pair it with a walk down the old street.
9. [Altitude Trampoline Park Sacramento - Folsom](https://ourplayday.com/places/altitude-trampoline-park-folsom) (park, Folsom). Open trampolines, air bags, dodgeball and dunk lanes in Folsom, better for bigger kids who can handle the crowd.
10. [Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary](https://ourplayday.com/places/folsom-city-zoo-sanctuary) (zoo, Folsom). A small zoo for rescued animals that can't go back to the wild, which makes for a nice conversation with a kid who asks why the bear is here. Open a few days a week only, so check before you go.
11. [Folsom Valley Railway](https://ourplayday.com/places/folsom-valley-railway) (attraction, Folsom). A miniature steam train that has been looping through City Lions Park since 1970, right around the Folsom zoo. Ten minutes of pure joy for a train kid. It doesn't run in the rain or on the hottest days.

## About this list

Every place here is a listing on Play Day, and a place is listed only when something positive is known about it for kids. Each listing carries the kid facts (high chairs, changing tables, kids' menus, wheelchair access) with the source and month of each. A list needs at least three places to exist.
