The Carmichael Parks Foundation is a non-profit public charity of volunteers dedicated to supporting the youth and parks of our community.
In 2008 the Carmichael Recreation and Park District (CRPD) formed the “Friends of Carmichael Aquatic Center” dedicated to raising funds for a new Swim Center to replace the pool in Carmichael Park which was closed in 2004. Although the goal to build a new Swim Center proved to be infeasible, it soon became evident that there were many other improvements needed within all the District park sites.
In 2009, the “Friends of Carmichael Aquatic Center” evolved to become Carmichael Parks Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit public charity dedicated to supporting park improvements, the development of new recreational opportunities, and the provision of scholarships to local youth so they may participate in the many recreation programs offered by the Park District.
Carmichael Parks Foundation is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements and
channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, Carmichael Parks Foundation
has a policy of providing an accessible website compatible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and
commercial screen reading software. All features of the website are coded to allow individuals with vision and
other impairments to understand and use the website to the same degree as someone without disabilities. We welcome
feedback and can often resolve issues in a timely manner if they arise.
If you need any special assistance or accommodations:
Carmichael Parks Foundation has designated a compliance officer for website disability-related accommodations.
The compliance officer has received training in website accessibility and updates the site in accordance with those best
practices. Contact our accessibility officer to report an issue.
Compliance Procedures and Reports
In addition to testing with users with a wide range of disabilities and coding our website to WCAG standards,
Carmichael Parks Foundation regularly scans its website to ensure ongoing compliance, and makes timely
changes to any inaccessible changes, if any are found.
