Rediscover Summer Outside
Sometimes, the best kind of summer is the one that slows you down; one where you dust off your roller skates, grab lunch, and let the day unfold from there. Life at The AJ Apartments in Sacramento, CA, gives you the perfect location to lean into that energy. From neighborhood strolls to yoga on the lawn, it’s all about finding simple joys just steps from home.
Roll Around the City’s Most Chill Parks
Skating is having a moment, and if you’ve been thinking of trying it or getting back into it, Sacramento’s flat trails and open park spaces make it super beginner-friendly. McKinley Park is a local favorite just a few minutes away. With paved paths, wide open space, and a calm atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to practice turns and brakes or just feel the breeze while you coast.
Another great spot is Sutter’s Landing Regional Park. The smooth trail stretches along the river and gives you enough room to build momentum. It’s also a nice way to explore the city on wheels without jumping in the car.
Picnics, Friends, and Barefoot in the Grass
It’s the season for sandwiches, fresh fruit, and lazy afternoons in the shade. Grab your favorite picnic snacks and head to Capitol Park for a scenic setup in the middle of the city. The tree-lined lawns and quiet pockets of space are perfect for catching up with friends, sharing food, and staying awhile.
Want something lowkey and grounding? Morning yoga in Fremont Park can be a game changer. It’s just a short walk from The AJ and offers space to move, stretch, and reset before the day gets busy. Bring your mat, water bottle, and go-to playlist or video flow. Keep it casual. Keep it outdoors.
Local Spots That Feel Like a Ritual
One of the best parts of summer is building little rituals: a walk to your favorite coffee shop, an iced latte on a park bench, a slow stroll home. Temple Coffee Roasters on K Street is a neighborhood go-to with quality brews and a relaxed vibe. Take your coffee to go and wander Midtown. Or head over to Old Soul at The Weatherstone for a quieter vibe and plenty of shady patio space.
Sacramento makes it easy to enjoy everyday adventures, especially when home is The AJ—close enough to everything and comfortable enough to return to.
Your Summer Starts Here
Whether you’re skating down riverfront trails, sharing sandwiches at the park, or greeting the morning with yoga in the grass, Sacramento is ready to give you your best summer. The city is full of places to explore, but the real fun might be right in your neighborhood. Step outside and see where the day takes you.
