Reservations email: oakparkreserve@cityofsacramento.org

What Facilities Are Available?

The City’s facility listing identifies the building as approximately 21,530 square feet. Individual spaces have different capacities and permitted uses.

Programs for Children, Adults and Seniors

Oak Park Community Center provides recreation, education, fitness and community activities for a range of ages. Actual offerings depend on the current City of Sacramento recreation schedule.

Some activities are free. Others require registration and payment. The existence of a program category does not mean a class is running every day.

How to Register for a Program

1. Choose the activity category and participant’s age group.
2. Use the City of Sacramento recreation activity directory to search for Oak Park Community Center.
3. Check the exact dates, fee, age requirements, instructor and whether spaces remain.
4. Create or sign in to the official recreation account if online registration is required.
5. Register the correct participant and complete required forms or payment.
6. Save the enrollment confirmation and check whether equipment or supplies are needed.

Oak Park Community Center Rental Rates

The City’s room-rental photo guide provides hourly pricing based on room capacity. The room configuration matters because banquet seating and theater seating have different occupancy limits.

Published Room Prices

The guide groups rooms into three general categories:

• Small: 1–39 guests, generally $60 per hour.
• Medium: 40–100 guests, generally $90 per hour.
• Large/extra-large: 101 or more guests, generally $200 per hour.

Deposits and Additional Charges

Security, insurance, staffing and other requirements depend on the event. Do not assume every small meeting needs all additional charges.

Rental Budget Examples

These examples exclude deposits, taxes if applicable, security, insurance, kitchen charges and other event costs. Deposits may be refundable subject to the signed agreement and any deductions.

Choosing the Right Rental Room

Room occupancy is not interchangeable between setups. A space accommodating 150 guests in theater rows may accommodate fewer people when tables and meal service are added.

How to Book a Room at Oak Park Community Center

City of Sacramento rentals use an application and facility-use agreement rather than an instant guaranteed online checkout.

1. Choose the event details. Decide the event type, attendance, preferred date, backup date and time needed for setup and cleanup.
2. Ask about availability. Call 916-808-6151 or email oakparkreserve@cityofsacramento.org. Ask whether you may tour the chosen room.
3. Get a current quote. Confirm hourly cost, deposit, minimum rental time, kitchen use, staffing, insurance and security.
4. Prepare identification. The City’s rental guide requests a valid California photo ID when submitting the application.
5. Submit the facility application. Give the completed packet to Oak Park Community Center reservation staff.
6. Complete the pending contract. Follow staff instructions for paying the deposit and signing the required paperwork.
7. Pay the remaining amount. The older facility guide states that remaining fees and documents are due 60 days before the event. Confirm current deadlines in the contract.
8. Arrange event details. Verify table setup, chairs, food, sound equipment, staffing, access times and cleanup requirements before the event day.

Payment Locations Mentioned in the City’s Rental Guide

The City’s guide identifies designated payment locations for transactions requiring a Paypoint center, including:

• South Natomas Community Center, 2921 Truxel Road, Sacramento.
• Sam & Bonnie Pannell Community Center, 2450 Meadowview Road, Sacramento.
• Coloma Community Center, 4623 T Street, Sacramento.

Payment methods and approved locations can change. Do not visit a payment center until Oak Park reservation staff direct you there.

Food, Alcohol, Insurance and Security Requirements

Before booking a banquet or major community event, understand the extra rules that may apply.

Food and Catering

• Food-related deposits may apply.
• Use of the warming kitchen requires an eligible adjoining room.
• Ask whether your caterer may use the available equipment.
• Do not assume the warming kitchen operates as a full commercial cooking kitchen.
• Allow enough rental time for catering setup and post-event cleaning.

Alcohol

• Declare any planned alcohol service when submitting the rental request.
• Additional deposit and alcohol surcharge requirements may apply.
• Alcohol sales may require approval and a California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control authorization.
• A licensed caterer may be required for certain service arrangements.
• Do not provide alcohol without the City-approved permissions for your event.

Insurance

The City’s older facility guide requires $1 million in general liability coverage for facility rentals and describes certificates naming the City as an additional insured. Insurance requirements should be confirmed using the latest facility agreement.

Security

The older guide discusses security for gatherings of 75 or more guests or events considered higher-risk. The newer room fee guide lists a security rate of $45 per guard-hour with a four-hour minimum.

Ask staff to determine whether your event requires guards and how many. Do not estimate final security costs from guest count alone.

Cleaning and Deposit Protection

Renters are responsible for clearing tables, removing decorations, placing trash in appropriate receptacles and leaving the room and kitchen clean under the agreement.

Fitness Room, Gym and Outdoor Recreation

Oak Park Community Center lists a fitness/weight room and several outdoor recreation amenities.

Families and First-Time Visitors

Oak Park Community Center is intended to serve neighborhood residents across multiple age groups, but programs differ by day and season.

For Parents

• Check the minimum and maximum age of the intended program.
• Ask whether a parent must remain during toddler activities.
• Verify registration, supervision and pickup requirements.
• Confirm any applicable supplies, paperwork or program fees.

For Teenagers

• Look for supervised recreation or youth-development activities.
• Confirm whether participation is drop-in or preregistered.
• Ask about age-group restrictions and program end times.

For Older Adults

• Check for scheduled fitness, social or learning activities.
• Ask whether the class is appropriate for your mobility and fitness needs.
• Verify whether registration, residency or program fees apply.

The City’s recreation activity calendar is the best source for the final program choice and registration, while the facility desk can answer location-specific questions.
