Folsom Lake College — El Dorado Center

El Dorado Center serves Placerville and the western Sierra Nevada from a permanent site that opened for classes in 1994. The center began in the 1960s with portable classrooms beside the county fairgrounds; local growth led to a dedicated property and later expansion.

Folsom Lake offers transfer courses and career education here, alongside science labs and student support. The campus has a gymnasium and a Student Learning Center with tutoring; the Community Observatory and Sherwood Demonstration Garden are also part of its educational setting. The address is 6699 Campus Drive. A $2 daily parking permit is published, and El Dorado Transit serves the area; check the map before travelling.

Placerville is outside Sacramento, making the trip longer than to the urban centers. El Dorado Transit serves the area and the college map marks parking lots; the published daily permit is $2. Check the route and the location of tutoring, labs or student services before setting out.
