Discovery Park Archery Range is Sacramento's most accessible and beloved public archery spot, located within Discovery Park at the confluence of the American River and Sacramento River. The informal range features hay bale targets at varying distances, set in the park's open meadow areas with beautiful riparian habitat in the background. It's completely free to use and open to archers of all skill levels — from complete beginners trying a recurve for the first time to experienced compound archers working on form. The park setting is stunning, with cottonwood trees, wildlife, and the river corridor creating a uniquely Sacramento outdoor experience. Archery etiquette and safety are essential: always wait for the range to be clear before retrieving arrows, and be aware of other park users.
