Now, many residents say it's about time the city finally builds a public park, even though Sacramento is facing a multi-million-dollar budget deficit.
Sallee says the community is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, but unlike other established neighborhoods, no city park was ever built there.
Sacramento's current goal is to have a park within a 10-minute walk of every home. But Hollywood Park is right in the middle of a park desert.
"It's hard for the kids. They don't get to bike anywhere," Sallee said.
"It's really challenging to figure out how do you build a new park, how do you fund it, how do you maintain it," said City Councilmember Caity Maple.
"I often have community members who come to me and say, 'Why do they get really nice parks and we don't?' And the answer is because it was a master planned community and those districts' fees were built in," Maple said.
"I think that this would be such a benefit to our neighborhood," Sallee said. There are more than 80 other parts of Sacramento that don't have a nearby park, and if this pilot project is successful, it could be used in other neighborhoods.
City leaders say the proposed new fee could be placed on the June 2026 ballot, and other fundraising efforts would be held to help offset the cost of purchasing the property.
