There is a Sacramento County ordinance requiring any child under the age of 13 to wear a life vest before accessing any public waters and violation of the ordinance punishes parents with a fine of $500 and/or six months in jail. https://regionalparks.saccounty.net//Pa/KidsDontFloat.aspx

Hi everyone! We hope you've been having a wonderful week so far. As today would have marked the start of Free Family Bike Nights for 2020 we wanted to reach out to the community for your thoughts on how to improve it in the future. We noticed some interest in possibly doing Bike Nights in the Fall as opposed to Summer months due to the heat. The reason for choosing Summer was to give families and children an opportunity to be active while out of school, but we do understand the heat can sometimes be too much. Don't stress too much about your choice. This is just to get some thoughts and see if it is something the community might be interested in!

We are very sad to say that this year, Safetyville USA will not be hosting our annual Summer Bike Nights. We know many families in the area look forward to biking in Safetyville, but we don't feel the large groups that come for Bike Nights would be a safe idea. Our number one priority is keeping the community safe and we hope everyone understands and still has a wonderful, active Summer! Stay safe friends!

At least 50 children are backed over EVERY WEEK in the U.S. because a driver couldn't see them. Backup cameras allow you to see what is behind you. #ChildproofYourRide #kidsandcars
