The Binning Tract in Davis, California, is a lone parcel of homes surrounded by a patchwork of colorful farm fields in zip code 95616. The eastern border is State Highway 113. It is north of West Covell Boulevard and is comprised of three streets. The homes are a mix of smaller bungalows and some larger upscale homes. Although it appears to be more isolated than the rest of the Davis neighborhoods, it is four miles from downtown Davis and the University of California at Davis.
Children attend Patwin Elementary School, Harper Junior High School, and Davis High School. There are two parks nearby. Arroyo Park has two community pools, one for laps and one with a fountain and a water slide. West Major Park is the place to go and let the kids skate or play hockey while the food is cooking on the barbecue. There is a softball field, tennis courts, a basketball court, and a playground.
The University of California, Davis, is a big part of the City of Davis and provides cultural and sporting events that all the residents enjoy. One of the best things that Davis has to offer is its bike culture. Residents are encouraged to ride their bikes all over the area and the city has provided safe trails to ride. There is a bike trail from the Binning Tract that connects with the network just below the neighborhood.
Shopping is nearby at the Westlake Plaza Shopping Center with a market, shops, and dining opportunities. For even more choices, downtown Davis has many choices for dining, boutique shopping and entertainment. It is not unusual to find Davis residents riding bikes downtown, enjoying all the city has to offer.
