🎥 May 2026 Recap | Carmichael Recreation & Park District

What a month! 🌳☀️

May was filled with connections, milestones, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy our parks and programs.

🎶 Concerts in the Park returned every Saturday, bringing live music and dancing to Carmichael Park.

🚚 Food Truck Night on the second Thursday of the month brought the community together for great food and a beautiful evening in the park.

🌱 We celebrated the groundbreaking of Cardinal Oaks Park, marking an exciting step forward for future recreation opportunities.

🦋 Our Early Explorers classes for toddlers continued to inspire curiosity and outdoor learning at Jensen Botanical Garden.

🌸 The Carmichael Community Garden was bursting with color as gardeners shared the beauty of the season.

🎓 And our Tiny Tots students wrapped up the school year with a graduation celebration, marking a special milestone for our youngest learners.

Thank you to everyone who attended events, participated in programs, volunteered, and helped make May such a memorable month.

We can’t wait to see what summer brings! ☀️💚

🐐 The Goats Have Arrived in Carmichael Parks! 🐐

We are excited to announce that our parks have some special new visitors! To help manage overgrowth, we have brought in goats to graze in our parks. Starting with Jan Park, the herd will eventually make their way to Sutter-Jensen Park followed by Schweitzer Grove.

These goats are helping keep our parks beautiful, healthy, and fire safe by naturally clearing away excess vegetation. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we bring this sustainable solution to our community.

Stay tuned for updates and specific move dates. We hope you’ll enjoy seeing these hardworking goats in action! And we’d love to see your comments on which goat is the cutest 😊

A special thank you to Carmichael Parks Foundation for their generous donation that made bringing the goats back possible!

Big things are coming to Cardinal Oaks Park! 🎉

Today, we celebrated the groundbreaking of exciting new Measure G improvement projects that will help make the park safer, more accessible, and more welcoming for our community.

Upcoming improvements include:
• A new playground and play surface
• New accessible pathways
• A new parking lot
• Increased lighting for added safety
• Ornamental metal fencing
• A new reflection area for the community to enjoy

These upgrades are made possible through the continued support of Carmichael residents through Measure G funding.

Projects like this are about more than construction — they’re about creating spaces where families, children, and neighbors can gather, play, connect, and enjoy the outdoors for years to come.
