Activity Overview
Kalithea Park is a relatively small neighborhood park in the El Dorado Hills. It has a number of amenities that make it a nice place to go for an afternoon with the family. There is lots to keep kids busy with a fun children's play structure and a natural turf sports field that is very popular. Perhaps its greatest asset however is the incredible view you can enjoy from high up here in the hills. After it is in the name; "kalithea" translates as "beautiful view" from Greek!
Things to Do
- Amateur photographers should not leave their cameras at home. The sumptuous views afforded of Folsom Lake and the city of Sacramento stretching far out into the distance provide the perfect subjects to snap some memorable pictures. Catch the scene at sunrise or dusk for some really great photos.
