SUMMER / FALL 2026 RECREATION GUIDE
Committed to providing diverse programs, beautiful parks, and meaningful experiences that bring our community together.
This year is especially significant as we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States with our annual 4th of July Celebration. We invite you to join us for this milestone event, along with our popular seasonal favorites including Dinner & Movies in the Park, Music on the Waterfront, and the Sunday Jazz Series, which continue to bring our community together along the waterfront and in our parks.
Our programming continues to expand to meet the needs of our growing community, from engaging Summer Camps and enriching PAL (Police Activities League) Programs for youth to a wide range of Senior Programs and day trips that promote social connection, wellness, and lifelong learning. Additionally, our Marina remains a valued community asset, offering boat slip rentals and access to the Suisun Slough for recreational boating and waterfront enjoyment.
As always, our goal is to create welcoming spaces and accessible programs that reflect the spirit of our community. Thank you for being part of what makes Suisun City such a special place!

Suisun City proudly operates the Police Activities League (PAL) Program, created specifically to serve and support its vibrant community.
