In November 2022, voters in the district passed the General Obligation Bond Measure G by over 67%.  To have this support for parks is amazing, and it puts us on the road to a new era at the Carmichael Recreation and Park District. 

As CRPD moves forward, we take the responsibility of the funds from the bonds very seriously.  We will be transparent as all our meetings are open to the public and the project expenses are reviewed by the Bond Oversight Committee.  Funds will be spent on deferred maintenance and new projects only.  No bond money will fund CRPD staff positions.  The bonds will be sold in series. Here is the current schedule for the series and project sites. Please note that this schedule may change.
