The Arcata Community Forest is the center piece of the parks and recreation system of the City of Arcata, California, United States. Originally created from six forest tracts of land in 1955; they include: Gannon Tract, Burns Tract, Preston Tract I, Preston Tract II, Reclamation Water Co. Tract, and Brizard Tract. The main forest area covers 793 acres (3.21 km²). The park is the culmination of efforts to combine tracks of forest land located east of the city together in one continuous section of city owned second-growth coast redwood forest. Over a 50 year period, 622 acres (2.52 km²) were obtained in several purchases. In November 2006, the 171-acre (0.69 km²) Sunny Brae Forest was added to the Community Forest. The City also owns and manages the 1,200-acre (4.9 km²) Jacoby Creek Forest.
