Two landmarks of the Old Sacramento Waterfront are set to be removed to make way for a new children's play area, Sacramento city officials said.The "historic" Old Schoolhouse and Ferris wheel will be taken down.

The revamping of Old Sacramento and its waterfront has been years in the making; Sacramento City Council has approved some $47 million in funding for improvements to its docks, blocks of wooden sidewalks, historic buildings and attractions including the Rio City Cafe since 2019, including more than $1.3 million to build the play space.
