Fong Ranch Park

The park name and park master plan were approved by the City council on May 18, 2021. The proposed 3.79-acre neighborhood park is located in the Parkebridge development. The park will include a children’s playground, basketball court, open turf area with a soccer field, volleyball courts, group picnic area with shade structure, games area with table tennis, concrete pathways, masonry sound wall, large canopy shade trees, and season color trees, a park name sign, and site furniture.

Fong Ranch Park is named after Fong Ranch, a 360-acre farm, previously located on the park site and the surrounding area since 1925. The Fongs, a Chinese-American family, purchased and farmed the land, located at the southwest corner at Truxel and San Juan Roads. The Fong Ranch grew alfalfa, tomatoes, sugar beets, grains, mainly for canneries. Natomas at the time was nothing but farmland, with large farming operations with two to three hundred acre farms. The Fong Ranch legacy is one of the strong family ties, entrepreneurial experience, teaching family values in the Chinses traditions, education, and the dream of coming to the Gold Mountain.

Construction began late October 2022, and the park is expected to open June 2023. Construction will include a 12 ft. masonry wall along the north side of the park.
