Upcoming Neighborhood Association Meeting — Tuesday, January 27 at 7:00 PM

Posted on 01/20/2026 by admin

The Casa Loma Terrace–East Sac Neighborhood Association invites all neighbors to attend their upcoming community meeting on Tuesday, January 27 at 7:00 p.m. This meeting will cover several important issues affecting East Sacramento and surrounding areas.

A park ranger will be present to discuss recent concerns and ongoing issues at McKinley Park, including park use, safety, and stewardship.

We will also hear from the developer of the proposed storage facility at the former Rite Aid site on Alhambra Boulevard, who will present updated design changes. Neighbors from the immediate area will share their perspectives and concerns, and time will be set aside for discussion.

In addition, there will be an update on the proposed project at the Maryann’s Bakery site, providing the latest information on plans and next steps.

These topics directly affect our neighborhood, and your presence matters. Community input plays an important role in shaping outcomes and ensuring that neighborhood voices are heard.

Please invite a neighbor and join us for this important conversation. East Sacramento Preservation looks forward to seeing you there.

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.

Save the Date

Join us as we continue to grow the canopy—one tree, and one gathering, at a time.
