Carmichael Park — Attraction in California

I have a sweet 5 year old dachshund, and this is her favorite place. Since she's my best friend, I take her to Carmichael Park just about every day. Inside the park they have Canine Corral, a dog park that has a separate area for large dogs and a separate area for small dogs. If you ask me, this is one of the best dog parks around. Both the large dog side and the small dog side are quite spacious with huge mature shade trees, a well manicured lawn, chairs, benches, water bowls and a kiddie pool for the dogs. They provide poo bags, dog owners are responsible for picking up after their dog.

For the most part, all the dogs play very nicely together. It's very important for dog owners to pay close attention to their dogs in the park because anything can happen. You want to make sure your dog is fully vaccinated to prevent contracting any illnesses from other dogs, not that I've ever had that happen. Please do not bring your female dog to the dog park if she's in heat. Lol. And if you have an unneutered male dog, please be prepared to watch him very closely. There are a few dogs that are not neutered and sometimes two unneutered dogs can have a problem with each other, not to mention an unneutered dog can be a problem for some female dogs even the ones that are spayed.

The dog park is ran by volunteers and members that donate their time or money to help maintain the dog park. This is my dog's very favorite place in the whole wide world!

This is also a very nice place for the dog owners. There's a nice walkway That goes around the perimeter of the inside of the dog park on both sides for people to walk. For many of us, we get a lot of our steps in for our fitbits, walking around and around on the little walkway track while the dogs are playing in the park. It's really nice. Not to mention the people at the dog park are great! I've met a lot of truly good real friends from the dog park. But if you're the kind of person that doesn't want to talk to people at the park you can just do your own thing and no one will bother you.

Another great thing about this park, the sheriff's drive-thru here often and keep trouble out of the park. I've never had any kind of problems or any safety concerns while at Carmichael Park.

Lastly, this Is one of the few dog parks around that have lights and stay open late. In the summer time, when it's quite hot outside, I find it too hot to enjoy the park during the middle of the day. Sometimes in the summer it doesn't start to cool down until 7:00 or 8:00 at night. The good news, they have lights in the dog park and the lights stay on every night until 10:00 p.m. . The front gates At the entrance of the park stays open until 11:00 p.m. there's many of us that bring our dogs to the park after 6:00 p.m., sometimes not until 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. because we have work during the day and can't get there earlier, or it's too hot during the day in the summer and we want to come after it cools down.

If you have a dog, there's nothing that would make your dog happier than to bring him or her to Canine Corral at Carmichael Park. The dogs...

I always enjoy this park. There's a lot to do here. Things that are here all the time: dog park (including a small dog side), softball, two playgrounds (one for littler kids), basketball, tennis, bocce ball and disc golf. I'm probably forgetting some things. There are also some covered picnic and BBQ areas you can reserve, and picnic tables throughout the park with BBQs near some of them. On the practical side, the park also has restrooms that are kept pretty clean (it is a park bathroom so nothing fancy, but clean).

They also have lots of special events such as monthly pancake breakfasts, the Sunday farmer's market, concerts on summer weekends, food truck night, Founder's day and more. Park and Rec classes and meetings are held in the indoor community meeting area.

Possibly my favorite thing is the wall at the corner with a beautiful mural depicting the history of the area.

I live up the street from this park and I'm so glad! I enjoy having such a great...

The park itself is wonderful but if you are a person of color you will get stared at there are some people in the world that feel that you should be not in their presence or around them or breathing the same air that they breathe and I say this because I just left the Farmers market there is a mobile taco business that I follow because their tacos are amazing while there I had a stare down I was minding my business and I happen to look to my left and there was this man standing in a defensive pose with his legs spread apart his arms folded staring at me the whole time he never smiled he kept that same old defensive body language and expression on his face that spoke very loudly. But unfortunately that's his problem not mine get over it this is the 21st century I can go anywhere...
