The City of Citrus Heights recently announced the return of the City Scoop Summer Series in an April 1 post on its Facebook page, inviting residents to vote on preferred locations for 2024.
The monthly ice cream social events are designed to encourage and facilitate community gatherings among neighbors, city staff and other community members, according to the city’s website. Last year, the inaugural City Scoop summer series featured ice cream socials throughout the summer at various locations throughout Citrus Heights, including Greenback Greenspace, Sylvan Community Center, and Westwood Park.
“We had so much fun at last year’s City Scoop Summer Series,” the city wrote in its April 1 post, adding that they are “excited” to bring back the series of social gatherings.
This year, the city has selected 10 location options and is asking for members of the community to vote on their preferred location. The 10 locations listed on the city’s website include: Madera Park, Lichen K-8 school, Misty Creek Greenspace, located at the corner of Misty Creek Drive and Van Maren Lane, B0rooktree Park, Mariposa Avenue Elementary, Arcade Creek Park Preserve, Sylvan Oaks Library, San Juan Park, Greenback Wood Park, and Metro Fire Station 27 located at 7474 Grand Oaks Blvd.
The top three locations with the most votes will be selected for the City Scoop series this summer. Voting for preferred locations opened on Friday, April 5 and will close at 4 p.m. on April 12, according to the city’s website. Community members can vote here.
