ELK GROVE, CA – Sky River Casino opened a new five-story parking structure, an investment that supports Wilton Rancheria’s long-term economic development strategy. Featuring 1,600 parking stalls across 681,263 sq. ft., the structure seamlessly connects with the recently expanded 20,000 sq. ft. gaming floor through an enhanced valet area and porte cochere, providing a more efficient and welcoming guest arrival.
The new parking structure is a key component of Wilton Rancheria’s multi‑year plan to transform Sky River Casino into a full‑scale resort destination. This long‑term investment continues to generate jobs, create business opportunities, and help position Sky River as a leading Northern California entertainment hub. The project reflects two years of coordinated design‑build work led by Clark Pacific, while the upcoming 2027 resort expansion will be constructed by the AECOM Tishman–Yates Construction joint venture – the same team responsible for Sky River’s original 315,000 sq. ft. casino.
“Today signifies yet another step on our journey to becoming Northern California’s premier resort destination,” said Michael J. Facenda, President of Sky River Casino. “Sky River Casino has become known as a safe, clean, and fun entertainment option conveniently located in Elk Grove and minutes from Sacramento. With this garage now complete, guests can enjoy a seamless ‘park‑and‑play’ arrival from the moment they enter our property through the newly expanded gaming floor.”
To commemorate opening day, the first 500 Sky River Rewards members received a special promotional gift for being among the first guests to park in the new structure – a celebration of the community that has supported the casino since its launch. As the only federally recognized tribe in Sacramento County, Wilton Rancheria continues to lead regional development efforts that balance economic progress with cultural preservation and community empowerment.
“Economic progress is essential to the future of our tribe and the community we serve,” said Wilton Rancheria Chairman Jesus Tarango. “Every investment we make is about creating lasting opportunity, not only for Wilton Rancheria, but for the broader region. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to being a strong partner to Elk Grove and to supporting the shared success of the businesses, families, and communities that grow alongside us.”
