Growing the Canopy, One Tree at a Time
McKinley Park Tree Planting — January 10, 2026
Please red-circle the date for the next tree care and planting of 2026:
March 28, 2026
Nearly 70 volunteers gathered near the horseshoe pits at McKinley Park for a highly successful community tree-planting event. Working together, participants planted 14 new trees, including Cedrus deodara (Deodar Cedar) and Laurus nobilis (Bay Laurel)—a meaningful step toward strengthening the park’s long-term canopy and resilience.
This event reflects a strong partnership between East Sacramento Preservation Neighborhood Association, Sacramento City Parks, Urban Forestry Arborists, Sacramento Tree Foundation, and SMUD, all working together to restore and enhance McKinley Park’s tree canopy.
The energy, teamwork, and shared commitment made for a memorable day.

Big Quarterly Trash Dash – Saturday, November 23
Join us at 10:00 a.m. on the lawn between 620–630 Alhambra Blvd., just south of the walkway to the Children’s Play Area near the Duck Pond.
We’ll be out with our partners from City Parks, and we’re bringing coffee and donuts to kick things off—plus pizzawhen we wrap up.
This is our quarterly BIG cleanup event, supported by a City grant, and we’ll have a great crew of college volunteers joining us. It’s going to be a terrific morning of community work.
With Thanksgiving and the Run to Feed the Hungry right around the corner, this is the perfect moment to make our park shine. Let’s show visitors the beauty and spirit of Midtown and East Sacramento.
