RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - The Cordova Recreation & Park District invites the community to join us to “Meet the Machines” from 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 13 at Hagan Community Park.

This free, family event offers children of all ages the chance to touch, climb on and explore more than 20 different types of exciting machines and unique vehicles. 

This annual event has become a highly anticipated tradition, drawing thousands of community members for a morning filled with hands-on fun and discovery. It provides kids with the rare opportunity to get up close with construction trucks, emergency vehicles, tractors and even hot air balloons, vehicles they usually only see from a distance.

Local professionals will share insights and provide families with a deeper understanding of these amazing machines while children engage in the experience.

In addition to the vehicle exhibits, the event will feature a range of child-friendly activities, including giant slides, interactive games and music. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from local vendors.

Thank you to our sponsor, Sacramento Sewer, for helping make this event possible.

“Meet the Machines” will take place from 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 13 at Hagan Community Park, 2197 Chase Drive, Rancho Cordova.
