Community News
Planehaven Park
Planehaven Park broke ground in February and is on track for completion in late Spring. Funded by the American Rescue Plan Act, the park's redesign—featuring new amenities—was shaped by input from local neighbors. Stay tuned for a grand re-opening event scheduled for early Summer
Paint the Parks
The 7th Paint the Parks project at Strizek Park was completed on March 26th. We painted the benches and trash cans. Additionally, we added some fun art to the concrete in the form of a hop scotch game. A little touch of a music theme makes for an amazing look. Check out the updates at Strizek! Be sure to check out our completed projects here!
NHRPD is honored to receive the Community & Recreation Program Award from the California Parks and Recreation Society (CPRS) District 2 for our Paint the Parks program! A huge thank you to our dedicated staff, volunteers, donors, and sponsors for making this achievement possible!
If you would like to volunteer, please fill out this Volunteer Form. We are also accepting paint supply donations! Feel free to bring them by the front office before our next project!
Mural at Ruth Inman
The newest mural at Ruth Inman Park was designed with input from local youth and teens, reflecting their top themes: love, multicultural, and the history of McClellan Air Force Base. As a welcoming sight into North Highlands, it symbolizes community connections. Residents also had the chance to leave their mark, making it a true collective effort. Stop by Ruth Inman Park to see the updates!
