Product Overview

The history of American cities is a history of suburbs. It is a history of moving out and settling in, of technological innovation, of rearrangements of space and the creation and erosion of community. Oak Park was Sacramento's first suburb and before being officially annexed to the city in 1911, it prided itself on having separate law enforcement, its own newspaper and perhaps most importantly, its own amusement park-Joyland. Unlike the more elite neighborhoods of Land Park and East Sacramento, Oak Park has always reflected working-class values and a less pretentious approach to architecture. Today, Oak Park is actively rediscovering and reestablishing its roots as a distinct, vital community and urban center.
