Plan Your Visit
Central Park Gardens is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is free to visit. We are located on B st., between 3rd and 4th streets, in Davis, CA. The gardens really come to life during the Davis Farmers Market, so you may want to plan your visit around Market days. The Market is located on the east side of Central Park, and occurs every Saturday from 8am-1pm, and on Wednesdays between November and mid-March from 2:30pm-6:30pm and between mid-March and October from 4:30pm-8:30pm. You can also take a look at our calendar or download our brochure to help plan your visit.
