William Land Park lies between Interstate 5 and State Route 160. It is named for William Land, a pioneer who built the Western Hotel at Second and K Streets in 1875. It holds the Sacramento Zoo, Fairytale Town, Funderland and a golf course. (Wikipedia)
The Sacramento Zoo opened as the William Land Park Zoo on June 2, 1927, with 40 animals on 4.2 acres. It was enlarged to 14.3 acres in the early 1960s. (Wikipedia)
Fairytale Town is a children’s park whose play equipment is built to look like scenes from fairy tales and nursery rhymes. (Wikipedia)
The Tower Theatre, built in 1938, is a Sacramento landmark and the oldest picture palace in town still showing films every day. Tower Records is named for it, because the first store was built into its side. (Wikipedia)
Vic’s Ice Cream, in the neighborhood since 1947, has kept much the same atmosphere ever since. (Wikipedia)
