How will the proceeds be used?

Youth Scholarships: “No Child Gets Turned Away" : Each year our park District must turn away dozens of youth whose families are not able to cover registration fees. Park District scholarships will cover up to 50% of the costs of child participation in recreation programs.

Our youth programs include dance and gymnastics, tennis, soccer, basketball, volleyball, flag football and a wide range of activities for summer day camps etc. The Park District also provides reading enrichment programs, after school day care and youth Spanish classes.

In some of our elementary schools, because of the low family income, more than eighty percent of the children are provided free or reduced price meals. About 19% of the Carmichael population are eighteen or under and many with high needs.

Almost forty percent of the households, whose head of the household is under 34, have an income of less than $35,000.

About 47% of the housing units in Carmichael are rental units which provides special challenges for our Park District.

Park Beautification and Renovation: with the county efforts to improve the intersection of Fair Oaks and Grant, we believe we can focus funds that will compliment the county efforts"

We need to expand our beautification/renovation commitments to make Carmichael Park a more attractive, safer and welcoming community center"
