West Sacramento park awarded $15 million federal grant for renovation

(FOX40.COM) — The federal government is putting $15 million towards a plan to transform West Sacramento’s Bryte Park.

The funding comes from the National Park Service’s Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Grants Program which gives grants to cities for park projects in underserved communities.

“The partnership between the federal government and the City of West Sacramento is crucial to deliver tangible results for our residents,” Congresswoman Doris Matsui said. “This infusion of federal funds goes right into the heart of the city to reinvigorate Bryte Park.”

The federal government announced the awarding of 54 grants for the program Wednesday, with West Sacramento being one of only four communities to receive the maximum amount of $15 million.

According to the city, the Bryte Park Master Plan will add a “lighted, all-weather soccer field, an aquatics facility, a dog park, an outdoor amphitheater, and ample green space.”

The city said construction on the park will begin in November 2025.
