Jan Park

Cute little park tucked back off the main road. The park is accessed by some small trails the kids can run along or bring their scooters/ bikes to ride around on. There is one small structure with 1 slide, a lot tunnel. 2 swings and a balance beam. The park offers limited shade so I would not suggest coming here on a very hot & sunny day. There are also no restrooms for the kids!

This is a very pleasant neighborhood park off Jan/California in Carmichael. There are lovely biking/walking paths, large grassy area, drinking fountain, port-a-potty, extensive play ground equipment with swings, slide, balance & climbing equipment, benches, picnic tables and a sunshade. Its not overly busy no matter what time you go. There's always friendly neighborhood folks with their kids and/or dogs to play together. The port-a-potty gets locked at sundown to discourage transients from making this park their home. I'm sure you can reserve the shade structure & picnic tables for parties. We like to ride the bicycles down to the park then play on the play ground equipment or kick the soccer ball/throw the baseball/football/frisbee til the kids wind down and its time to bathe & bedtime. I guess they were collecting money for the park by selling engraved bricks, what a neat idea!

This is a quiet and well manicured little park nestled within a larger rustic area of bike/walking paths and oak trees. There is a large grass field for playing games and running around as well as a unique rock and forest playground area with slides, swings, and objects for kids to climb over, under, and through. There is a drinking fountain for doggies to quench their thirst as well as one for their humans to also grab a sip. There are also sanitary bags and containers to pick up and properly dispose of doggy doo-doo mess. The playground area isn't shaded and it can get a little hot on the warmer days, so be sure to check out the equipment beforehand so your kiddos don't get a burn. There is a shaded picnic area with tables as well as a single outhouse restroom that gets locked up between sunset and sunrise. The park is normally quiet with few people and is a great place to walk or ride to in the evenings, but if you're driving over there is also plenty of curbside street parking along the neighborhood road on Jan Drive.
