## The list

1. [Carmichael Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/carmichael-park) (playground, Carmichael). Carmichael's community park, with two playgrounds, lots of picnic tables and summer concerts at the bandshell.
2. [Effie Yeaw Nature Center](https://ourplayday.com/places/effie-yeaw-nature-center) (attraction, Carmichael). Oak woodland trails down to the American River where you'll likely spot deer, plus a nature center with live animals and programs for little kids. Watch for rattlesnakes and ticks in the warm months.
3. [Ancil Hoffman Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/ancil-hoffman-park) (park, Carmichael). Old oaks on a bend of the American River, with trails for spotting deer and birds and shady picnic spots by the water. The Effie Yeaw Nature Center is inside the park.
4. [Jensen Botanical Garden](https://ourplayday.com/places/jensen-botanical-garden) (garden, Carmichael). A small, shady garden with paved paths under magnolias and redwoods, and thousands of tulips in spring. A quiet stroller walk, not a place to run.

## About this list

Every place here is a listing on Play Day, and a place is listed only when something positive is known about it for kids. Each listing carries the kid facts (high chairs, changing tables, kids' menus, wheelchair access) with the source and month of each. A list needs at least three places to exist.
