It is bordered by 65th Street to the west, Highway 50 and the Tahoe Tallac Little League Park to the north, Business Drive to the east, and 14th Avenue to the south.

[1] Prior to 2005, the area west of 53rd Street was officially recognized as a part of the neighborhood of Tahoe Park proper.

By and large, this area of the Tahoe Park neighborhood is located closest to the UC Davis Medical Center.

[4] The park has received many updates in the 1990s and 2000s, including street lights, a jogging trail, upgraded picnic areas, and fitness stations.

It was officially opened in October 2010 using the temporary/working name of "Redding Avenue Park", but an effort to rename it began almost immediately, as Mae Lillian Fong, a longtime businesswoman and community leader who co-founded and operated a printing company on a nearby parcel, had recently died.

This placed the area now known as Tahoe Park (proper) at the city's far southeastern corner just south of Folsom Boulevard.

[7][8] By 1926, Folsom Boulevard was a part of the newly established US Route 50, a highway that continues eastward in California from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe.

[10] In 1958, the neighborhood's youngest area—Tahoe Park East—was added to Sacramento when the city annexed an area northeast of 14th Avenue and 65th Street.

[12] In 1990, residents created the Tahoe Park Neighborhood Association (TPNA), a non-profit organization focused on community improvement.

[19] First-time home buyers and real estate professionals view Tahoe Park as a desirable alternative to pricier neighborhoods such as East Sacramento and Midtown.

[10]: 60 Tahoe Park neighborhoods are represented by the following government districts: In the late 1980s, Tahoe Park began to produce many of Sacramento's government officials; U.S. Federal District Judge Kim Mueller, former California State Senate President Pro Tem and current Mayor Darrell Steinberg, California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, Assembly Member Kevin McCarty, and Council Member Eric Guerra established their political careers on the Sacramento City Council while residents of Tahoe Park.

TPNA holds public board meetings every first Monday of the month at 7 pm at the Tahoe Community Center located at 5959 8th Avenue, Sacramento.
