CreekWalk
The CreekWalk, winding along Ulatis Creek in downtown Vacaville, has been a center for community life since its opening in April of 2000. Bordering Andrews Park, the CreekWalk blends Vacaville's natural resources with the rich history of its downtown. Tree-shaded, meandering walkways and a peaceful waterfall make the CreekWalk a scenic sanctuary for families to relax and an inviting place for downtown visitors to stroll.
The CreekWalk's Plaza is home to a myriad of community events, including festivals, fairs, July 4th fireworks, and a holiday tree-lighting. The City of Vacaville hosts the Summer Concert Series every Friday evening from May to September. Hundreds of residents meet at the CreekWalk to join in the food, drinks and fun, enjoying all kinds of music from country to punk, R&B to rock & roll, oldies to jazz.

The CreekWalk is the crown jewel of the Vacaville's downtown redevelopment efforts, earning the City a statewide award from the California Downtown Association. Recent improvements along the Davis Street build upon this success. A "faux" creek of blue-pigmented concrete embedded in the sidewalk and a new canopy of fruitless pear and crepe myrtles create an inviting entryway to the downtown area.
