A better dog park is also about creating a space people genuinely enjoy spending time in.

Dog Park Friends is identifying practical amenities that can improve comfort, cleanliness, usability and the overall dog park experience.

☀️ More Shade

Carmichael gets hot! We're exploring additional shade options to create more comfortable places for dogs and their people during warmer months.

🪑 Better Seating

Additional and replacement benches can give visitors safer, more comfortable and more durable places to sit while supervising their dogs.

🧺 Improved Picnic Tables

We'd like to improve or replace picnic tables to create better gathering spaces for regular visitors, volunteers and community activities.

🐾 Dog Park Branding

Thoughtful signage, fence features and Dog Park Friends Carmichael branding can give the park a stronger sense of identity while creating a more welcoming community space.

🛖 New Storage Shed

Updated on-site storage would provide space for volunteer supplies, event materials, outreach resources and other items used to support the dog park.

💩 Poop Bag Stations

Better access to waste bags and disposal stations makes it easier for everyone to do their part and helps keep the park cleaner.

🌳 More to Come

As the committee hears from regular park users, we'll continue identifying practical improvements that can make the Carmichael Dog Park better for everyone.
