(FOX40.COM) — Those looking to get some outdoor time at one of the many Sacramento County-operated parks now have a new tool to make their experience a little easier.
On Thursday, Sacramento County Regional Parks launched their free new mobile app that will be available for Android and Apple users.
Now from your phone, you can:
• Navigate through the parks
• Discover new places
• Find bathrooms, parking and picnic areas
• Get historical, ecological and geological information on a point of interest

“We are fortunate to have such a vast Regional Parks system, but we understand that having so many recreational and open space options can be a lot to explore,” said Liz Bellas, Director of Regional Parks. “From the Dry Creek Parkway to the American River Parkway and down into the Delta, this app is a new and innovative way for us to help park visitors explore and connect with our parks and other park visitors.”
