Oakland A's in Sacramento 2025: Where to Stay Near Sutter Health Park

April 2026 • Sports

The A's Are in Sacramento — And We're 7 Minutes Away

The Oakland Athletics made the move to Sacramento's Sutter Health Park, and the city has never been more electric on game days. Whether you're a lifelong A's fan making the trip from the Bay Area, a visiting team's supporter, or a Sacramento local looking for the ultimate game day setup, you need a place that puts you right in the action.

City of Trees House is a 7-minute walk from Sutter Health Park. Not a 7-minute drive. Not a 7-minute rideshare. A 7-minute walk through a quiet residential neighborhood, straight to the stadium gates. No parking fees. No traffic. No surge pricing after the game.

Why Walk to the Game?

Parking near Sutter Health Park on game days is a headache. Lots fill up fast, street parking disappears, and rideshare prices spike before and after games. Staying within walking distance eliminates all of that. You leave City of Trees House at your leisure, walk to the park, and walk home whenever you're ready — even if extra innings push the game past midnight.

Here's what that looks like in dollars: parking at or near the stadium runs $20-40 per game. Over a 3-game series, that's $60-120 saved. Add rideshare and you're looking at $100+ in transportation costs that simply don't exist when you're staying at City of Trees House.

The Perfect Game Day Itinerary

Afternoon (3:00 PM)

Fire up the 8-burner Mont Alpi grill in the backyard. We're talking burgers, brats, whatever your crew wants. The fenced backyard, Adirondack chairs, and fire pit make for a proper pre-game tailgate — except it's in your own private yard, not a parking lot. Grab beers from nearby Total Wine (5 minutes away) or pick up craft brews from Drake's: The Barn.

Pre-Game (5:30 PM)

Walk to Sutter Health Park. The route takes you through the West Sacramento neighborhood — flat sidewalks, quiet streets. You'll arrive at the stadium gates in about 7 minutes. Grab your seats, get your peanuts and Cracker Jack, and settle in.

The Game (6:30 PM)

Sutter Health Park seats 14,014 fans, so it's an intimate baseball experience. Every seat feels close to the field. Friday night games often end with fireworks — which you can also see from the City of Trees House backyard if you leave early.

Post-Game (10:00 PM)

While everyone else is fighting for their car or waiting 20 minutes for a rideshare, you walk 7 minutes home. Change into something comfortable. Fire up the private hot tub (stays at 104°F year-round). Rehash the game's best plays while soaking under the stars. This is the part nobody else gets to do.

Late Night

The neon game room keeps the night going. Retro arcade games (Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, The Simpsons), regulation pool table, ping pong, and darts. Put on a record from the 3,000-vinyl collection. The night doesn't end just because the game did.

Booking for the Season

The A's schedule runs April through September, with 81 home games. Key series and promotions fill up fast — especially weekend series, fireworks nights, and any rivalry games. We recommend booking 2-4 weeks ahead for popular dates.

City of Trees House sleeps up to 10 guests, making it ideal for a group trip. Split a 3-bedroom house among 4-6 friends and you're paying less per person than a downtown hotel — with a private hot tub, game room, full kitchen, and no parking fees on top.

What You're Paying vs. Hotels

Downtown Sacramento hotels near the stadium charge $180-300/night for a single room. No hot tub, no kitchen, no game room, and $25-40/night for parking. City of Trees House starts at $249/night for the entire 3-bedroom property. That's $249 split among your group, not per person.

Beyond Baseball: Sacramento in Spring

April through June is Sacramento's sweet spot weather-wise. Daytime temps in the mid-70s to low-80s, cool evenings perfect for the hot tub. Between games, there's plenty to do:

• Farm-to-Fork Capital — Sacramento's restaurant scene is nationally recognized. Mulvaney's B&L, The Kitchen (Chef's Table experience), and dozens of farm-to-fork spots within 10 minutes.
• Old Sacramento — Historic waterfront district with the California State Railroad Museum, river cruises, and Gold Rush-era architecture. 10-minute drive.
• Golden 1 Center — Sacramento Kings basketball, major concerts. 5-minute drive.
• American River Bike Trail — 32 miles of paved trails along the river. Bike rentals available nearby.
• Midtown — Sacramento's walkable neighborhood packed with coffee shops, breweries, galleries, and the Saturday Farmers Market (20th & J).
